The RAIC International Prize honours the belief that exceptional architecture can transform society by promoting humanistic values such as social equity, respect, and inclusiveness, and by creating environments for the well-being of all people. The prize recognizes international architects, practices, and organizations beyond Canada that exemplify the RAIC’s values of integrity, climate action, reconciliation, social justice, and innovation. Through this initiative, the RAIC seeks to elevate exemplary global practices within an identified annual theme of relevance within Canada’s architectural community. Turenscape, based in Beijing and led by Dr. Kongjian Yu, has shaped the urban landscape of over 250 cities worldwide through more than 1,000 projects. Guided by their philosophical foundation of “Nature, Man, and Spirits as One,” Turenscape seeks to promote harmony between land (Tu) and humanity (Ren) and to create sustainable environments for the future. Turenscape’s foundation and body of work resonated with the selection committee, who noted that Turenscape “celebrates beauty and ecology, drawing lessons from natural systems to develop holistic responses that regenerate degraded urban ecosystems, increase resilience to flooding and sea level rise, cultivate natural habitats in urban areas, and create inspiring spaces that foster human reconnection to our natural world.” This year, the RAIC International Prize Selection Committee has also recognized five other individuals, projects, and firms for the ways they address and respond to climate action. They include the following. DnA Design and Architecture – Xu Tiantian, China Joar Nango – Tromsø, Norway NLÉ – Lagos, Nigeria / Amsterdam, Netherlands Salima Naji – Morocco Te Uru Taumatua, Te Wharehou O Tūhoe, Jasmax -Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland, Aotearoa / New Zealand For more information, click here.
