The heat is on for the Royal Institute of British Architects' latest edition of the biennial RIBA International Prize. Grafton Architects and Shell Arquitectos won the inaugural prize in 2016 for their design of the Universidad de Ingeniería y Tecnología (UTEC) building in Lima, Peru, and today the longlist was revealed for the 2018 contest.
The grand jury, chaired by DS+R's Elizabeth Diller, narrowed down the vast field of submissions to 62 outstanding buildings from 28 countries. The final winner is scheduled to be announced in December 2018.
Check out the full set of longlistees and a selection of photos below, and let us know your thoughts in the comment section: Which building has the greatest potential of winning the prize? Any recent buildings that should be deserving of the prize but haven't made the list?
