About the award-

  • It is awarded annually by the Royal Institute of British Architects on behalf of the British monarch, in recognition of an individual’s or group’s substantial contribution to international architecture.
  • It is given for a distinguished body of work rather than for one building, and is therefore not awarded for merely being currently fashionable.
  • It was first awarded in 1848 to Charles Robert Cockerell, and its second recipient was the Italian Luigi Canina in 1849.
  • Candidates of all nationalities are eligible to receive the award.
