East RIBA Regional Awards 2019

Cambridge construction boom results in high proportion of winners

The average standard this year was high, resulting in a high proportion of winners. There was a particularly strong ‘Cambridge effect’, a result of the large amount of construction activity in the city. The new city extension of Eddington alone attracted several entries, perhaps because it is sponsored by the University of Cambridge which commissions architects with an established reputation.

Housing schemes continue to feature, including large social housing projects, a number of which have concentrated on sustainability issues. Bringing Passivhaus standards, or near Passivhaus standards, to the mass market has also been a common theme and one to be applauded given increasing climate change warnings. The jury also recognised the architectural skill deployed in masterplanning housing schemes and was pleased to see an entry that concentrated on this aspect.
