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.

The competition continues a tradition that was inititated in 1950 by the Massey Medals, and provides a source of understanding of the nature of Canadian architecture as well as the regional, cultural, and historic forces expressed in the built environment.

According to the RAIC, outstanding design considers exemplary approaches to sustainability, and the support and advancement of equity, diversity, and inclusion.

From a residential home to a public library and theatre, the 12 winning projects from across Canada represent a variety of building types and sizes.

The following are the 2024 recipients.
