Recipients of the $1 million triennial prize include an affordable modular structural system for flood-impacted Bangladeshi communities and the redevelopment of a major metro station in Tehran.
Gina Bocra, Emily McGlohn, Chandra Robinson, Roberta Washington, and Cynthia Weese will be honored at a September 9 event held at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago.
The global prize spotlights the group’s initiative to change EU laws so that renovating existing buildings for housing, in lieu of demolition, is easier and more affordable.
