Background

Established in 1956, the Canberra Medallion is one of the oldest architecture awards in Australia. Only the Victorian Architecture Medal/Street Architecture Medal (1929) and the NSW Sir John Sulman Medal (1932) are older state based awards for architecture.[1]

Early awards and name change

Initially known as the Award for Meritorious Architecture by the Canberra Area Committee of the RAIA. In 1962 an ACT Chapter was established and the award was renamed and a bronze medallion to equal the prestige of the Sulman Medal was added. The medallion is named for Australia's capital city, Canberra, located in the Australian Capital Territory, although most winning projects are located in the city not all winners are located in Canberra.[2]

Bronze medallion design

The medallion was designed by Peter Swalling in 1968 and first presented to the 1968 Canberra Medallion winning project, the Norwood Park Crematorium.[3]
