RIBA has named the UK's best buildings of 2024... 👀 The annual National Awards established in 1966, aims to celebrate the country's best new buildings and give insight into its architectural design and social trends. The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) announced 26 winners this year, including projects designed by NIALL MCLAUGHLIN ARCHITECTS LTD, Waugh Thistleton Architects and WilkinsonEyre. Projects ranged in scale from rural houses and restorations to major projects like London's Kings Cross masterplan and Elizabeth Line railway. "The sheer breadth of work is quite astounding, with large infrastructure schemes sitting alongside high-quality detailed smaller projects," said RIBA president Muyiwa Oki PRIBA. "This is a testament to the standard of architecture in the UK right now, as we maintain a sense of ambition and consider how design must evolve to meet future needs."

• when light meets design • Light transforms architecture in ways that go beyond mere illumination - it carves space, defines mood, and brings structures to life. When natural sunlight filters through a building, it highlights the interplay between shape and shadow, turning spaces into living art. By understanding and harnessing light, architects can evoke emotions and create dynamic experiences that connect us to our surroundings.

🌊🐬🐠🪸Recently, the integration of underwater architecture with modern buildings and contemporary architecture has become quite popular. Many countries, including Dubai, are pursuing the construction of modern structures that blend the beauty of the ocean's depths with the tranquility and silence of the deep sea. However, ensuring the strength and durability of these buildings, especially in the salty waters of the sea, will be very challenging.🌊🐬🐠🪸 Do you agree with this integration? 🌊🐬🐠🪸🌊🐬🐠🪸🌊🐬🐠🪸 #UnderwaterArchitecture #ModernArchitecture #SustainableDesign #OceanInnovation #ArchitecturalDesign #MarineEngineering #FutureCities #BuildingTheFuture #UrbanDesign #InnovativeConstruction #EcoArchitecture #SmartCities #ArchitecturalInnovation

One fascinating aspect of architecture is the concept of biomimicry, where architects draw inspiration from nature to design buildings that are more sustainable, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing. This approach not only creates visually stunning structures but also promotes harmony between human-made environments and the natural world.

On World Architecture Day, we ponder the theme "Empowering the next generation to participate in urban design". Let's imagine our cities as living canvases, where each building tells a story. Emerging talents are not just sketching the future; they're also tasked with reviving the colours of our architectural treasures. To achieve this, they employ a form of invisible architecture, where subtle interventions highlight the beauty of our heritage while aligning it with contemporary requirements.🏙️✨ 🔍 Curious to see how innovation fuels Lemay's heritage projects?

It’s World Architecture Day and a good time to appreciate the buildings that shape our world – from the iconic to the everyday. Whether it's a cutting-edge skyscraper or a well-preserved heritage mill, architecture is all about creating spaces that shape how we live, work, and interact with our surroundings. Let’s also remember that sustainability is key. The most sustainable building is often the one that already exists. Repurposing and adapting our existing built environment doesn’t just preserve heritage – it’s better for the planet too. Cheers to all the architects, technologists, and designers out there pushing the boundaries and bringing visions to life. #WorldArchitectureDay #SustainableDesign
