OTTAWA – The Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC) and the Canada Council for the Arts have announced the recipients of the 2024 Governor General’s Medals in Architecture.
The biennial awards recognize and celebrate outstanding design in recently completed built projects of any size, type and geographical location by Canadian architects, an RAIC release said.
“The awarded projects demonstrate exceptional, careful consideration of people, place and purpose, and further contribute to the growing Canadian culture of design. The RAIC offers congratulations to this year’s recipients and everyone who contributed their work to these awards. Each and every project shows how architecture can be a positive force that is inclusive, sustainable, and capable of change in individual lives and communities. Your dedication to design excellence creates a better world for all,” RAIC president Jason Robbins said in statement.
