Australian Institute of Architects Gold Medal Lecture

Join us for an evening lecture with Kerstin Thompson AM LFRAIA, the recipient of the 2023 Australian Institute of Architects Gold Medal.

The Gold Medal is the Australian Institute of Architects’ highest honour. It recognizes distinguished service by architects who have designed or executed buildings of high merit, produced work of great distinction resulting in the advancement of architecture, or endowed the profession of architecture in a distinguished manner.

Kerstin Thompson AM LFRAIA is an outstanding architect whose design practice is renowned internationally as a significant and innovative reference point in Australian architecture and urban design. For more than three decades, she has contributed generously to architectural discourse across the country through her work as a designer, educator and highly respected keynote speaker.

The Australian Institute of Architects’ Gold Medal is awarded in honour of the quality and breadth of Thompson’s work, a design ethos that favours subtle expression and graciousness over force, and her propensity to address some of the biggest issues of our time. Through her work in academia and as a role model for women, she is an inspiration to the profession and to future generations of architects.

Doors open at 5.30pm. Tickets include a welcome drink on arrival.
