RIBA announces four shortlist finalists for the 2023 Neave Brown Award for Housing
The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has kicked off its annual awards programming with the announcement of the shortlisted projects for the 2023 Neave Brown Award for Housing. The four projects in the running for the award’s fourth overall edition are all examples of “how innovative architectural design can play a significant role in helping to address wider societal issues,” according to the jury. They will each compete for the title, which selects the best new affordable housing schemes nationwide in honor of its namesake, the late modernist social housing pioneer who was finally recognized with the RIBA Gold Medal the year before his death in 2018. Last year’s winner Henley Halebrown went on to see their combined primary school and housing block added to the shortlist for the 2022 Stirling Prize. This year's announcement also comes at a pivotal time, as the government's Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities recently handed back £1.9 billion in funds (worth about $2.49 billion) that had been earmarked for affordable housing in a potential exacerbation of a situation that is considered by many to be a nationwide crisis.
