French architect Ren\u00e9e Gailhoustet has been awarded the prestigious 2022 Royal Academy Architecture Prize. Given to\u00a0an individual or practice \u2018whose idea or body of work has made a positive contribution to the public and had a significant impact on society\u2019, this accolade has in the past been bestowed to\u00a0Cristina Iglesias...
In that spirit, Gailhoustet’s work seems a fitting winner. The architect, who was born in Oran in French Algeria in 1929, set up her own studio in 1964 in Paris. Public housing projects, such as La Maladrerie in Aubervilliers and Le Liégat in Ivry-sur-Seine, make her stand out in her field for her innovative approach and striking form-making.‘Renée Gailhoustet’s achievements reach far beyond what is produced as social or affordable housing anywhere today.
The big prize announcement has been followed by the highly anticipated reveal of the shortlisted practices that will compete for the 2022 Royal Academy Dorfman Award. This year, the emerging architecture studios that form the shortlist are Apparata , Dot Architects , Semillas , and Wallmakers . The final winner will be presented at a dedicated ceremony during the Royal Academy Architecture Awards Week, 12 – 16 September 2022, and they will win £10,000.
