The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) is pleased to announce the launch of a new design competition on behalf of Bradford 2025, inviting expressions of interest for the design of an iconic travelling performance space for Bradford City of Culture 2025.
The competition is seeking an architect-led team to design this temporary arts space, named ‘Beacon’. Embedded in communities, Beacon will be a platform for performances, installations, and live events across the district during 2025.
Awarded every four years by Government, the UK City of Culture title has had a transformational impact on previous host cities, securing millions of pounds of investment and acting as a catalyst for creative place-making and culture-led regeneration.
The intention behind Beacon is for it to have sustainability at its heart, to celebrate Bradford’s cultural heritage and to reflect its diverse, cosmopolitan communities. The venue will facilitate and promote meaningful interchange between communities.
