Each project (see the full list below) is now in the running for the fourth RIBA International Prize, with the winner being announced in November. Launched in 2015, the bi-annual awards programme aims to reward projects that demonstrate “visionary thinking, originality, excellence of execution” and make “a distinct contribution to its users, surrounding environment and communities.”
“Supporting and working with architects and practices around the globe to promote excellence in architecture is central to RIBA’s purpose,” said RIBA President Muyiwa Oki in a statement. “Now in its fourth iteration as an established part of the RIBA Awards calendar, the International Awards recognise and celebrate ambitious and impactful buildings across the world that create meaningful change. It is a privilege for us to reward this collection of the world’s most exceptional buildings.”
Simon Henley, Chair of the RIBA Awards Group, added: “Each of these projects makes an exceptional contribution to its local area and demonstrates a stimulating architectural response to RIBA’s stringent social, environmental and design values. On behalf of the RIBA Awards Group, I am delighted to award and celebrate these exceptional buildings, their architects and clients across the world.”
