RIBA National Award winners showcase UK’s best new architecture

The Royal Institute of British Architects has just announced a slate of 26 winners for the 2024 edition of the RIBA National Awards.

Projects were selected following in-person site visits from RIBA's select panel of judges. The Awards Group 2024 chair, Simon Henley, added that each winner "reflect[s] the breadth of contemporary practice and how architecture itself is an inclusive medium that addresses many of society’s challenges."

"The sheer breadth of work is quite astounding, with large infrastructure schemes sitting alongside high-quality detailed smaller projects," RIBA President Muyiwa Oki commented on this year's field. "This is a testament to the standard of architecture in the UK right now, as we maintain a sense of ambition and consider how design must evolve to meet future needs."

Those selected will go on to compete for this year's Stirling Prize in the fall.
