2025 Architects Medallion Winner

Tyler Smith of the University of Technology Sydney awarded the 2025 Architects Medallion.

Embedded within the practice of architecture is the recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples’ ongoing connection and custodianship of Country, and the ethical responsibility to the physical environment and the transition to a carbon-neutral built environment.
