The world’s 30 best new buildings have been listed by the Royal Institute of British Architects as it launches its first global architecture award.
RIBA said the 30 projects are from 20 countries, from China to Colombia, Ireland and Azerbaijan. They include buildings in which to live, work, learn and worship. They were selected from hundreds of entries made by about 50 countries. The 30 will be visited by the RIBA awards committee this summer.
They will be further whittled down to a shortlist of 2o winners of RIBA Awards for International Excellence, buildings worldwide that stretch the boundaries of architecture. Six finalists will be chosen by the jury before the winner is announced in December 2016. The jury, chaired by Roger Rogers, has just been joined by Billie Tsien, founding partner of Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects.
The winner will be a “the most significant and inspirational building of the year” that shows vision and improves the lives of its users and physical context, RIBA says.
Under like any previous RIBA award, such as the Royal Gold Medal and Stirling Prize, the RIBA International Prize is open to any qualified architect in the world.
The list includes buildings by ‘starchitects’ Chipperfield, Ingels and the late Zaha Hadid. Her company is nominated for a cultural center in Azerbaijan and an education club in Hong Kong.
The 30 vary in size and budget, including urban infrastructure, private homes, cultural and civic spaces, religious centers and academic buildings.
For this inaugural award, buildings must have been completed within the past 3 years. For each year after, the window is narrowed to projects finished within two years.
