The Royal Architectural Institute of Canada 2007 Annual Report Governor Generals Medals in Architecture In the fall of 2007, the RAIC issued a Call for Submissions for the Governor General’s Medals in Architecture. The Awards will be adjudicated in early 2008. RAIC Gold Medal The RAIC Gold Medal is awarded in recognition of significant contribution to Canadian architecture, and is the highest honour the profession of architecture in Canada can bestow. It recognizes an individual whose personal work has demonstrated exceptional excellence in the design and practice of architecture; and/or, whose work related to architecture, has demonstrated exceptional excellence in research or education. Mario Saia, FIRAC was the recipient of the 2007 Gold Medal. In bestowing the award, the Gold Medal Selection Committee noted: “Of the slate of significant and literate architects in Canada, there is little doubt that Mario Saia is one of the most provocative. His buildings Mario Saia, FIRAC | photo: Narvali Digital Photography depart from the realm of the familiar, the comfortable, the conservative. He pushes the frontiers of conventional design and incites both users and passers-by to reflect on the meaning and purpose of architecture, of city planning, and of milieu. He consistently addresses context with concern and innovation, resulting in a body of work that is diverse, creative and meaningful.” Report on RAIC Activities 9
