A major modern art museum in Shanghai and a new entrance building and visitor centre to the Museum Island in Berlin, a pedestrian and cycle bridge through the heart of Copenhagen, a beautiful artists’ home in Sri Lanka, a new hospital where the healing power of nature becomes a central element: these are just a few of the sixteen architectures selected for the RIBA International Awards for Excellence 2021, the important biennial awards handed out by the Royal Institute of British Architects. In November, the winner of the RIBA International Prize 2021 will be selected from these sixteen finalist projects.
Starting on June 19, in London, visitors can enjoy immersive experiences into the creations of Charlotte Perriand, through the reconstruction of some of the artist’s works, such as the famous apartment designed for the 1929 Salon d'Automne and a number of iconic furniture pieces like the "Chaise Longue Basculante" and the "Fauteuil Pivotant". The exhibition dedicated to the French architect and designer, considered one of the founders of contemporary design, is currently on at The Design Museum in London and will run until September 5 of this year.
