RIAI Gold Medal 2013-2015
Entries for the RIAI Gold Medal are now open. Members are now invited to submit entries for projects completed in the years of 2013, 2014, and 2015.
The submission deadline for all entries has been extended to Monday, 12 February at 5.00pm.
The RIAI Gold Medal is the highest honour in Irish Architecture and has been presented by the RIAI since 1934 for a design of exceptional merit by an RIAI Architect, in Ireland or internationally. The project must be completed within a defined three-year period and the medal is awarded several years after completion so that the success of the building can be confirmed by the passage of time.
Past recipients of the RIAI Gold Medal have included Michael Scott (Busáras), Arthur Gibney and Partners (Irish Management Institute), Liam McCormick (Burt Church), de Blacam and Meagher (The Library at CIT), O’Donnell + Tuomey (Ranelagh Multidenominal School and Lyric Theatre), Des McMahon (Croke Park), Tom Maher and Kevin Bates (Poustinia) and Grafton Architects (Bocconi University).
