RIBAJ MacEwen Award 2025
The RIBAJ MacEwen Award is our way of getting to the heart of responsible architecture. We call it ‘Architecture for the common good’ because it celebrates those built projects which are of wide and demonstrable social benefit. It brings together the well-known with the up-and-coming, the national with the local.
Over the years the RIBAJ MacEwen Award has recognised projects that give users a chance to be part of the process of design and making. It has rewarded schemes that help clients to support those in need – like at last year’s winner, the engaging Nourish Hub designed by RCKa, that tackles issues connected to food and healthy eating – and to go beyond that to serve a wider public, to enliven a street and create a sense of place. We are looking for architecture that builds dignity and joy, and puts the people who live, work and play in and around it in the driving seat.
