The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has announced the recipients of its annual RIBA International Awards (formally the RIBA Worldwide Awards), recognizing excellent architectural work conceived by RIBA members around the world.
On June 22, winning designs will be showcased and winner feted at the RIBA National and International Awards Dinner.
Notable this year, Steven Holl Architects has received two of the eight awards for two critically-acclaimed projects: The New Residence at the Swiss Embassy (Washington, D.C.), designed with Rüssli Architekten; and the School for Art & Art History at the University of Iowa (Iowa City).
From the list of the RIBA International Awards, three projects were also selected for the shortlist to the Lubetkin Prize, which is awarded to a building outside the EU by an RIBA member. They are the Des Moines Public Library by David Chipperfield Architects; the Hearst Tower by Foster + Partners; and the Southern Cross Station Grimshaw (working within the Grimshaw Jackson Joint Venture).
