RIBA President Muyiwa Oki said: “The conservation of the planet’s resources and the provision of the best housing in which people can grow and thrive remain two of the central concerns of architects around the world. From a timber-framed social housing building with an inventive use of space, to two projects focused on the repair, restoration and transformation of buildings to create new and useful space to work or participate in culture, these three inspiring projects demonstrate the ability of architecture to meet shared, global challenges head on.”
The RIBA International Prize is given to the project considered to be the most significant and inspirational globally of the year, and the pinnacle of the RIBA International Awards. The winner is selected by the Grand Jury, who visit all shortlisted projects and decide the winner.
The winner of the fourth RIBA International Prize will be announced on 27 November 2024, alongside the winner of the RIBA International Emerging Architect.
