On Thursday, July 22, the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) revealed the 16 buildings it deems among the world’s most significant and inspirational outside of the UK (where the best works are eligible for the Stirling Prize), awarding them this year’s prestigious International Awards for Excellence.
Spread across 11 countries, the winners of the biannual prize were judged by a diverse panel of local architects who visited each building.

Among this year’s selection two projects are located in North America: The Polygon Gallery in Vancouver, British Columbia by Patkau Architects; and The National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, Alabama by MASS Design Group.
