The RoyalGoldMedal for architecture is awarded annually by the Royal Institute of British Architects on behalf of the British monarch , in recognition of an individual s or group s substantial contribution to international architecture. It is given for a distinguished body of work rather than for one building, and is therefore not awarded for merely being currently fashionable. The medal was first awarded in 1848 to Charles Robert Cockerell , and its winners include some of the most influential architects of the 19th and 20th centuries, including Eug ne Viollet le Duc 1864 , Frank Lloyd Wright 1941 , Le Corbusier 1953 , Walter Gropius 1956 , Ludwig Mies van der Rohe 1959 and Buckminster Fuller 1968 . Already with the second recipient, the Italian Luigi Canina in 1849, the award went international. Not all recipients were architects. Also recognised were Engineers like Ove Arup 1966 and Peter Rice 1992 who undoubtedly played an outstanding role in the realisation of some of the 20th century s key buildings all over the world. Repeatedly, the prize was awarded to influential writers on architecture, including scholars like the Rev Robert Willis engineer Robert Willis 1862 , Sir Nikolaus Pevsner 1967 and Sir John Summerson 1976 as well as theory theoreticians like Lewis Mumford 1961 and Colin Rowe 1995 .
