RAIC INTERNATIONAL PRIZE 2019
BRIEF
In 2013, Canadian architect Raymond Moriyama FRAIC CM, in collaboration with the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada and the RAIC Foundation, created the Moriyama RAIC International Prize to share Canadian architectural values with an international audience and celebrate architecture that is socially transformative. His vision for the Prize was based on his conviction that great architecture transforms society by promoting humanistic values of social equity, respect, and inclusiveness, and by creating environments for the well-being of all people.
In 2019, the prize was renamed the RAIC International Prize, under the direction of Mr. Moriyama and with his full support.
Previous winners are Li Xiaodong, Beijing, PRC, in 2014, for the Liyuan Library, and Tezuka Architects, Tokyo, Japan, in 2017, for the Fuji Kindergarten.
The competition is open to all architects, irrespective of nationality and location. Any architect, team of architects, or architect-led collaboration is invited to submit a building or a related group of buildings that has been completed and in use for the purpose intended for at least two years prior to the entry deadline. There are no prescriptions with respect to the scale of the work, the building program, or the cost of construction. Candidates are limited to a single submission per award cycle.
SCHEDULE
deadline of 5 pm EDT, Friday, April 26, 2019.
