The RAIC's Gold Medal is the highest honour that it can bestow in recognition of a significant and lasting contribution to Canadian architecture and is not to be construed as a competition. The terms of reference set forth here outline the process of selection to be used to identify the recipient of this honour.
In recognition of a significant body of work deemed to be a major contribution to Canadian architecture, and having lasting influence on the theory and/or the practice of architecture, either – through demonstrated excellence in design; and/or, excellence in research or education.
Principal, Peter Cardew Architects
In the twenty seven years since he established his own practice, Peter Cardew has been responsible for a number of projects that have received international recognition through awards and publications. The practice limits the size of the office and the amount of work that it takes on at any one time in order that Peter can maintain a significant involvement in each project.
In recognition for a lifetime in architecture, we would graciously like to thank Bing and his family for their commitment to excellence in the built environment in Canada. Your work in life and beyond create a better world for all.
Former Dean of the Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design and Professor of Architecture at the University of Toronto, and partner in the Toronto-based architecture and urban design firm Baird Sampson Neuert Architects.
