David Chipperfield, Bjarke Ingels, Vo Trong Nghia and the late Zaha Hadid are among the architects whose buildings are included on the 30-strong longlist for the first RIBA International Prize Revealed today by the Royal Institute of British Architects, the longlist of buildings vying to be named the "most significant and inspirational building of the year" spans private houses, major cultural institutions, offices, hotels, civic structures, and places of worship. Dezeen is media partner for the RIBA International Prize, which is open to buildings of any type, size and budget by any qualified architect in any country if they have been completed in the past three years.
Zaha Hadid, who died suddenly in March, has two projects on the list – the Jockey Club Innovation Tower, which is Hong Kong Polytechnic University's design school, and the Heydar Aliyev Center in Baku, Azerbaijan, which was the London Design Museum's Design of the Year in 2014 despite attracting controversy over the human rights record of the country.
Months before her death, Hadid became the first woman to be awarded the RIBA's Royal Gold Medal in her own right.
