Royal Academy Architecture Awards Week

Join us in September for Royal Academy Architecture Awards Week, September 12–16, 2022, to celebrate the Royal Academy Architecture Prize, and the Royal Academy Dorfman Award.

Royal Academy Architecture Awards Week is an international celebration of architecture at the Royal Academy of Arts in London. The week-long public programme will explore the future of architecture, bringing the four finalists of the Royal Academy Dorfman Award to London for a series of events featuring the Royal Academy Architecture Award Jury, and leading architects and designers.

Following a week of public events and private jury sessions, the winner of the 2022 Royal Academy Dorfman Award will be announced at a prize-giving ceremony that will also mark the official investiture of Renée Gailhoustet as a Royal Academy Architecture Prize-winner, in acknowledgment of her career-long contribution to generous public architecture.
