In 2013, the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC), the RAIC Foundation and distinguished Canadian architect Raymond Moriyama created a unique international prize in order to share Canadian architectural values with an international audience and to celebrate architecture that is socially transformative. The next award of the Prize will be made in 2022.
In addition to the main Prize (which is administered by the RAIC) the RAIC Foundation awards three scholarships to students enrolled in Canada's 11 accredited schools of architecture as well as students at the RAIC Centre for Architecture at Athabasca University and the RAIC Syllabus Program. In the words of RAIC Past President Michael Cox FRAIC: "These essays describe moments when their authors understood the world through architecture and formed their own wish to be an architect. Gathering with people, travelling, reading – all are enriched by the places where they occur."
The winning essays will, in their own way, evoke the value given by the built world to our lives, and the wish of architects to contribute.
