The Royal Institute
of British Architects (RIBA) has announced the RIBA Chartered Practices chosen
to work alongside the five local authorities selected to participate in the RIBA Future Place
programme.
The five teams are:
- Integreat Plus (Bradford)
- GT3 Architects (Gateshead, pictured)
- Tonkin Liu (Great Yarmouth)
- Hilton Barnfield Architects with David Hawes (Greater Exeter)
- Fereday Pollard with Annie Lennox, David Cunningham and
Bridget Sawyers
(North Northamptonshire).
RIBA President, Ben
Derbyshire, said: “The RIBA’s Future Place programme is all about supporting
the five local planning authorities as they develop their ambitious future
visions to enhance people’s lives, improve community wellbeing and create
sustainable environments.
"Now each has a
talented architectural practice to work alongside, I believe we will clearly
demonstrate the role the profession has to play. I am delighted with the
outcome and very much look forward to seeing ideas unfold.”
Sadie Morgan,
Founding Director of dRMM, National Infrastructure Commissioner and jury
member, said the quality of submissions coupled with the ambition of local
authorities to do things differently shows that initiatives such as this can
positively impact the way we deliver future places.
"My
congratulations go to all those involved, from the competitors, clients,
government agencies, and professional bodies – through their collaboration they
have shown real leadership in improving the placemaking of the nation,” she
added.
