2024 Victorian Honours

The Victorian chapter of the Australian Institute of Architects has celebrated the recipients of the state's suite of prizes, honours and fellowships in their 2024 Victorian Honours, held on 25 November at the State Library of Victoria. The annual event celebrates the important contributions of the Institute's members across the built environment while advancing the policy and advocacy work of the Institute.

This year, the highest honour - the Victorian President's Prize - was awarded to Tony Isaacson. Chair of the Board of Directors of the Robin Boyd Foundation and convenor of the Portable Buildings World Heritage Nomination Task Force, Isaacson has also had involvement in the management of the Greg Burgess archive and was formerly a construction company director.

The honour recognises Isaacson's outstanding contribution to the profession over a long period of time and provides a platform for furthering his advocacy and promotion of architecture in the public realm.

Five new prizes and one scholarship were added to the state's existing suite of prizes, recognising the important contributions of the chapter's members across a spectrum of disciplines and advocacy areas within the built environment.
