In March this year, I spent three days chairing he RIBA Awards jury for projects in south-west London – the winners of which were announced today.

Along with my esteemed co-judges Julian de Metz, Vicki Macgregor and Euan Millar-McMeeken and co-ordinated by the RIBA’s Jessica Davies, we visited homes, schools, spaces for London’s diverse communities and buildings for national institutions.

We met clients and stakeholder who talked about the amazing journeys their architects had taken them on and architects who had navigated technical, legislative and contractual challenges to deliver such incredible buildings over what has been a very difficult few years for all of us.

We discussed sustainability, social value and architectural enquiry and how the buildings we design contribute to the places we inhabit, the cities we live in and the development of architectural discourse.

A big congratulations to all the winners – very well deserved.
