Launched in 2013, the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada's International Prize honors socially transformative architecture and is open to architects based anywhere in the world. After evaluating submissions from 12 countries in six continents for its third edition, the six-member jury whittled down the competition pool to just three high-caliber projects designed by Toshiko Mori Architect, Hariri Pontarini Architects, and Barclay & Crousse.

“The jury was struck by the diversity of these designs, from the inverted traditional Senegalese roof that serves as a water collector, to the unique glass-and-marble winged roof that fills the temple with light,” said Jury Chair Diarmuid Nash in a statement. “These architects have come up with unique and innovative strategies by listening to the needs of their communities.”

The winning project will be announced during a gala in Toronto on October 25. The winning designer will receive a cash prize of CAD$100,000 and a sculpture by Canadian designer Wei Yew.

Baha’i Temple of South America | Santiago, Chile

Completion: October 2016

Project statement: “At the heart of the Temple there is a belief that even now, in the fractured 21st-century, we can respond to a human yearning to come together and connect to one another, and to something that moves the spirit. The Temple sits on the edge of Santiago and nestles against the Andes. A human place, universally appealing in form and at one with its landscape. Inside, the building soars along with the spirt of those who enter. The interior is alive with soft light filtering through the cast- glass exterior and translucent marble interior of the wings, bathing visitors in warmth.”

Thread: Artists’ Residence and Cultural Center | Sinthian, Senegal

Project statement: “Situated in the remote community of Sinthian, Senegal, Thread offers multiple programs for the community, serving as gathering and performance space, agricultural base, and artists’ residency. A collaboration with the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation and operated by Le Korsa, the center ensures stability in the community and increases social cohesion. In the design, an inversion of the traditional pitched roof creates an effective strategy for rainwater collection, providing a viable water source in the eight-month dry season. Innovating upon local materials and construction techniques, the new building also encourages ventilation and airflow, providing a flexible, open-air space for the community.”

Edificio E, Lecture Building, University of Piura | Piura, Peru
Barclay & Crousse (Lima, Peru)
Completion: March 2016

Project statement: “The apparent simplicity of “Edificio E” hides an unexpected complexity, intensity and richness that nurtures the sense of community of a heterogeneous student population ranging from urban wealthy to rural poor origins. Responding to the harshness of the equatorial desert of northern Peru, a learning landscape provides shade to generous open-air spaces and offer unattended possibilities for gathering, studying, resting and strolling in an inner world of unexpected softness. This learning citadel at the crossroad of the campus creates a sense of be - longing with a building type flexible enough to go beyond the local conditions that shaped it.”
