The William J. Mitchell prize is named after the late Bill Mitchell, Horsham-born former Dean of Architecture and Planning at MIT. The prize honours individuals who, like Bill, have made a significant contribution to the profession, study or advancement of architecture beyond Australian shores.
The celebration of architecture through photography has been central to the professional life of John Gollings. The Australian Institute of Architects International Area Committee (IAC) has awarded Gollings the William J.
