Prix du XX e siècle
In honour of its 100th anniversary, the Royal

This award recognizes the enduring excellence
of nationally significant architecture, such as
landmark buildings in the historical context of
Canadian Architecture. The award can be presented
to a building in Canada, designed by
an Architect from any country, or a building
anywhere designed by a Canadian Architect.
