Dezeen Features the RIBA Reinvention Award Finalists
Axometric rendering of the site of the Museum of the Home in East London, Wright & Wright Architects.
RIBA president Simon Allford said the four projects "all demonstrate that the architecture of reinvention requires immense talent, vision and creativity".
Part of a growing trend in architecture towards celebrating the renovation of existing buildings over new builds driven by concern about embodied carbon, the RIBA Reinvention Award aims to recognise creative reuse projects.
It seeks to highlight that reuse projects can not only increase the longevity and energy efficiency of existing buildings reducing the need for new construction, but also deliver social and economic benefits.
Project Details
An award-winning, ecologically-minded design for a community-centric museum stems from a holistic redefinition of exhibition, storage and community spaces, all with no commensurate increase in energy use.
