Gold Medal
 

The Gold Medal is the highest honor that The American Institute of Architects can bestow on an individual. It is conferred by the national AIA Board of Directors in recognition of a significant body of work of lasting influence on the theory and practice of architecture.

 

Eligibility
Any individual (not necessarily an American or an architect), living or dead, whom the Board believes qualified is eligible to receive the Gold Medal. No more than one such award shall be made in any year.
