Last November, the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) announced the launch of the Reinvention Award, a new award program joining an already-robust array of annual accolades recognizing built projects in the United Kingdom and beyond including the affordable housing–focused Neave Brown Award, the RIBA International Award, House of the Year, and the coveted Stirling Prize.

True to its name, the Reinvention Award is squarely focused on adaptive reuse and recognizes the crème de la crème of U.K.-based projects that breathe new life into existing buildings. Somewhat of a pet project of RIBA president Simon Allford, the prize is described as celebrating “achievements in the creative reuse of existing buildings through transformative projects that improve environmental, social, or economic sustainability.”
