RIBA Stand at Futurebuild 2019 FREE ARCHITECTURE COMPETITION

RIBA Stand at Futurebuild 2019

BRIEF

The RIBA has launched an Open Call for an architect to design a highly visible RIBA stand at Futurebuild 2019. The RIBA will make use of the space to promote the RIBA brand, sell relevant architecture publications and promote the benefits of RIBA membership. We are looking to select a creative and ingenious architect/practice who can help us achieve our aims. In conjunction with ROCKWOOL & Rockpanel.
Our aim is to turn the 10m x 10m space, stand D55 in the buildings hub, on the event’s central walkway, into a vibrant architect-designed bookshop and feature space that has improved acoustic architectural design to dampen surrounding noise – achieved by using the latest ROCKWOOL & Rockpanel products. Detailed plans of the space, along with the full plans of the hall, and images will be made available to the winner.

Futurebuild 2019 brings together opinion-shapers, decision-makers and product innovators to explore the latest technologies and approaches in construction and debate the biggest issues facing the built environment– both in the UK and overseas. The event will be taking place from 5-7 March 2019 at EXceL, London. The RIBA stand should help to attract visitors, promote our members and the profession while adding an exciting architectural element to the show.
This is an open call for RIBA Chartered Members and Practices and will run as a single-phase competition. It is an opportunity for Practices to showcase their creativity and architectural expertise to a unique audience. Teams are required to submit applications to RIBA competitions in digital format only.
