Celebrate the RIBA’s 175th anniversary with an exhibition of 175 images of remarkable RIBA competition winning projects.
The RIBA Competitions Office organises and runs competitions to encourage excellence in design. It does so for a wide range of clients – both public and private – which have resulted in a variety of landmark projects and iconic structures. These range from major public projects such as London’s Millennium Bridge, The Sage Gateshead, Baltic and Wembley Stadium to the Urban Splash Tutti Frutti housing project and smaller structures, such as the De La Warr Pavilion at Bexhill on Sea and the Swivelling Wind Shelter in Blackpool.
See some of the highlights of this fantastic archive of images at the CUBE Gallery in Manchester followed by the Architecture Centre in Bristol. The RIBA Competitions Office, established in Leeds over 25 years ago, holds a photographic archive of past projects from which images for the exhibition are drawn.
