Sir John Sulman Medal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sir John Sulman Medal is a New South Wales architectural prize presented by the Royal Australian Institute of Architects (NSW Chapter) and was first awarded in 1932.

The medal is presented in memory of the Australian architect Sir John Sulman (August 29, 1849 - August 18, 1934). Born in Greenwich, England, he emigrated to Sydney in 1885. From 1921 to 1924 he was chairman of the Federal Capital Advisory Committee and influenced the development of Canberra. The medal is sometimes referred to as the Sulman Award and now recognises excellence in public and commercial buildings. Before the advent of the Wilkinson Award it was on occasions presented to domestic projects.

The Sulman Prize for "best subject/genre painting and/or mural project" is awarded by the Art Gallery of New South Wales and is not connected to the Sir John Sulman Medal, although named in honour of the same person.
