RIBA International Awards 2026: Three Indian-linked projects win
Three Indian-linked architectural projects have been recognized in the 2026 RIBA International Awards for Excellence. The winning designs were selected for their focus on climate resilience, community integration, and the use of local craftsmanship.
Why it matters
Recognition by RIBA highlights the growing global influence of Indian architecture and the importance of sustainable, context-aware design in addressing modern urban challenges.
The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) awards outstanding architectural projects each year. This year, 34 projects have been awarded the RIBA International Awards for Excellence from across 15 countries such as Austria, Australia, Bangladesh, and Belgium.
This wide-ranging tier of 34 winners is now in the running for the RIBA International Prize, which is awarded by a grand jury to the building considered the most significant outside the U.K. This 2026 cohort has been picked for its direct response to climate change, migration and rapid urbanisation.
