The Royal Institute of British Architects<\/a> has unveiled the shortlist for the 2025 Stephen Lawrence Prize<\/a>. The annual series is intended to \u201cencourage new talent and inspire others in the early stages of their architectural career\u201d by exclusively recognising projects by early-career project architects.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Stephen Lawrence prize celebrates the achievements of early career architects and this year\u2019s shortlist reflects the eclectic magic of architectural endeavour,\u201d jury chair Matthew Goldschmied said about the six projects. \u201cMany stories are told through these buildings; narratives of delight, integrity and generosity to people, place and planet.\u201d<\/p>\n

The winning project will be announced at the RIBA Stirling Prize ceremony on Thursday, 16th October 2025. In the meantime, the six shortlisted projects for the prize are detailed below. You can compare this year\u2019s projects to those of previous years by reviewing our ongoing coverage of the prize here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
