RIBA International Award Winners 2012

In the previous Bustler post, we just published the 2012 RIBA Award Winners, announced recently by the Royal Institute of British Architects. Here are now also the twelve buildings which have received RIBA International Awards for architectural excellence.

From Foster + Partners’ high-density urban development Troika in Kuala Lumpur to the world’s tallest building designed by a British architect, the Guangzhou Finance Centre by Wilkinson Eyre, the awards recognize some of the world’s most imaginative, dramatic and green buildings.

The RIBA International Awards are presented to architecture practices based outside the UK building anywhere outside the UK; or for practices based in Britain and working outside the EU. All winners are eligible for the RIBA Lubetkin Prize awarded to the best international building by an RIBA member. The winner of the RIBA Lubetkin Prize will be announced later in the year.
