RIBA INTERNATIONAL AWARDS RIBA AWARD WINNERS
RIBA announces the world’s ‘most transformative buildings’
RIBA has revealed the winners of the RIBA International Awards for Excellence 2024. Selected from entries to the RIBA International Prize, the 22 projects present a “signifi cant cultural shift in the way that architecture is designed and built for current and future generations,” commented RIBA. 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.” Spanning four continents, the winners were grouped under key themes by RIBA including “climate resilience and connection to nature.” Bundanon Art Museum and Bridge (Illaroo, Australia) by Kerstin Thompson Architects, is a bridge housing a creative learning centre above a wet gully, resilient to seasonal fl ood. Green Field Factory (Rangpur, Bangladesh) by Nakshabid Architects, establishes a “close bond between humans and nature while supporting the ecosystem of the building’s surroundings,” and Liknon by K-Studio (Vourliotes, Greece), “celebrates the ancient vineyard and natural landscape by allowing the intervention to embrace the sloping typography,” said RIBA. Another theme was “creative reinvention and extension of existing architecture,” with examples including Morland Mixité Capitale in Paris by David Chipperfi eld Architects Berlin and CALQ, which “transforms a previously introverted building complex into an open and accessible urban campus.” Six Bricolage- houses (Shenzhen, China) by ARCity Offi ce, renovated six houses to create a “new typology of ‘bricolage architecture’ by inserting mini public spaces into the dwellings,” and Veemgebouw (Eindhoven, Netherlands) by Caruso St John Architects converted an industrial storage building into a public mixed use asset. In the “space for wellness, mindfulness and community through design” category, examples given included Punchbowl Mosque (Sydney, Australia) by Angelo Candalepas and Associates, which
