Scottish architect Kate Macintosh has been awarded this year's Jane Drew Prize in recognition of her contribution to elevating the profile of women in architecture.
Macintosh, now retired, was selected in celebration of her work in public architecture and advocation for the use of buildings as a tool for social justice since the 1960s.
The Jane Drew Prize is awarded annually by the Architects' Journal and The Architectural Review as part of its W awards series, formerly known as the Women in Architecture awards. Previous winners of the prize, which is named after modernist pioneer Jane Drew, include the likes of Denise Scott Brown, Amanda Levete and Pakistan's first female architect, Yasmeen Lari.
"I am absolutely thrilled by this news, not least because I knew Jane Drew personally and occasionally we shared a platform in schools of architecture," Macintosh told the award's organisers.
"Our value systems chimed as we discovered when we overlapped on RIBA council."
