This awards scheme was established by the Royal Institute of British Architects' Research and Development Department to reward and encourage outstanding research in architecture carried out by PhD students, academics and practitioners.
 
The awards promote and champion high-quality research and encourage its dissemination and incorporation into the knowledge base of the profession. They contribute to raising the profile of architects, practitioners and academics engaged in outstanding research, and raise awareness of the need for research across the profession to foster innovation and strategic thinking. 

 

The awards are given in three categories: PhD, University and Practice-located Research. To find out more about the eligibility criteria, and how to apply, please see the downloads below.
