RIBA announces three winners of post-pandemic design competition
The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has today (27 July 2020) announced three joint winners of Rethink: 2025 ? an international design competition seeking designs for our post-pandemic world.
Rethink: 2025 invited architects and students to consider what life and our built environment could look like by 2025. Entrants were given seven categories from which to generate ideas ? the future of; healthcare spaces, remote learning, high density living, public transport, high streets vs online shopping, international travel and the use of technology to monitor and control populations. The judging panel, made up of six design leaders and chaired by RIBA Journal Editor, Hugh Pearman, whittled down the initial 147 entries from 18 countries, to three joint winners in three categories ? Building, City and Street. The total prize fund of £8000, sponsored by Arup and the RIBA will be split equally between the winners, with each being awarded £2667.
Judge, Ed Clark, Associate Director at Arup said:

?Evaluating the entries was an eye-opening process to appreciate the breadth and scale of the issues. We wanted to reflect that those issues are equally important at different scales and so awarded three equal first places.?
