The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has announced 17 winning projects in the 2017 RIBA East Awards. Topped by Walters & Cohen Architects’ Vajrasana Buddhist Retreat Centre in Suffolk which won the RIBA East Building of the Year Award, these 17 regional winners will go on to compete in RIBA’s national awards, with the best in the national awards ultimately going forward to compete for the Stirling Prize.
“It was just fabulous to see the diversity and exceptional quality of buildings around the region,” said RIBA East Regional Director Louise Todd. “The jury had a really difficult task in selecting the winners, which says a lot for the strength of the shortlist and the creativity of the architects involved.”
The 17 Awards represent the largest number of projects ever awarded in a single year by RIBA East. The winners were presented with their awards at a ceremony at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge, yesterday evening.
