The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has announced the shortlisted projects for the 2022 RIBA East architecture awards. The list of 22 buildings includes projects ranging from a small copper-clad home extension in Cambridge to a new youth and participation space at the Wolsey Theatre. All designs will be assessed by a regional jury, and the winning projects will be announced later this spring. Subsequently, Regional Award winners will be considered for the RIBA National Award.
Inaugurated in 1966, the awards provide insight into UK's architectural environment and the economic trends shaping the AEC industry. “The shortlisted schemes across the region demonstrate the determination and design skill of all the practices involved, on projects large and small and across all sectors,” says RIBA East Regional Director, Louise Todd. Several RIBA Special Awards will also be announced including the RIBA Sustainability Award and RIBA Building of the Year Award.
