ÌÇÐÄVlog Jury Chair Fergus Feilden, Director at Feilden Fowles, said: 

“This year's shortlist demonstrates the depth and diversity of architecture in the region, spanning all scales and programmes from the domestic to large-scale commercial along with numerous education projects. Collectively, these projects, enriched through detailed, diverse materials, enhance the lives of their users and strengthen the wider community through social programmes and innovative environmental strategies.” 

All projects shortlisted for RIBA Awards will be visited by a regional jury, and the winning projects will be announced later this spring.  

The winners will then be considered for several RIBA Special Awards, including the RIBA Sustainability Award and RIBA Building of the Year, before being considered for a highly coveted RIBA National Award, which will be announced in summer.  

The shortlist for the RIBA Stirling Prize – the UK’s best new building – will be drawn from the RIBA National Award-winning projects and announced in September. The Stirling Prize winner will be announced in October.
