Irish architect, educator, and author Níall McLaughlin has been named the 2026 Royal Gold Medal for Architecture recipient.
In a statement, McLaughlin thanked his team at Níall McLaughlin Architects.
Architecture lies in its making and the way that it shapes learning, culture, and communal life.”In 1962, McLaughlin was born in Geneva, Switzerland.
He later studied architecture at University College Dublin and worked for Scott Tallon Walker before launching his own London-based studio in 1990.
Past accolades McLaughlin earned include the RIBA Charles Jencks Award in 2016 for Simultaneous Contribution to Theory and Practice.
