The Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC) has announced the jury for the Governor General’s Medal in Architecture.
This biennial award recognizes and celebrates excellence in recently constructed projects by Canadian architects. The 2024 competition will continue the tradition started by the Massey Medal in 1950, providing an important source of understanding of the essence of Canadian architecture and the regional, cultural and historical forces expressed in the built environment.
This year, under an agreement with the Canada Council for the Arts, which jointly administers the awards program with the RAIC, the jury was appointed after submissions closed, rather than in advance as in previous years.
Below are the jury members for 2024.
