The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has revealed 22 winners of the RIBA International Awards for Excellence 2024 . The Awards celebrate the most exemplary architecture from across the world. The winning projects represent a significant cultural shift in the way that architecture is designed and built for current and future generations. From private homes and subway stations, to museums and schools, each project is an example of the highest calibre of architectural response to social, cultural and environmental challenges.
The key themes include: climate resilience and connection to nature, creative reinvention and extension of existing architecture, and space for wellness, mindfulness and community through design. All projects are now in the running for the fourth RIBA International Prize, which will be announced in November 2024.
Established in 2015, the RIBA International Prize is one of architecture’s highest global accolades, awarded to a building that demonstrates visionary thinking, originality, excellence of execution, and makes a distinct contribution to its users, surrounding environment and communities. The bi-annual Prize is open to any registered architect in the world and awarded to a building of any size, type or budget.
