The AIB Medal honour was established in 1954 when the Council, bearing in mind the objects and purposes for which the Institute is constituted, determined that these circumstances should be kept before members as a constant reminder of the purpose of its founders, and saw fit to achieve this in the award of a medal at biennial intervals to a member who has made a contribution of merit to the practice and science of building. The medal, which is the highest award which the Institute can bestow on a member, has on its obverse the armorial bearings of the Institute and on the reverse a symbolic design of the practice of build.
