RIAI Public Choice Award

27.05.19

This year the RIAI are celebrating 30 years of the RIAI Architecture Awards, one of the longest running and most prestigious architectural awards.

The purpose of the Awards is to promote the quality of current work by RIAI Members at home and abroad and to create awareness of the contribution that architects make to society for everyone’s benefit. Awards are made over a number of categories and the RIAI Awards offer a fascinating insight into current architectural practice in Ireland and tell the story of what is happening in Ireland’s built environment.
