Civic Trust Awards Managing Director, Malcolm Hankey has been nominated for an Honorary Fellowship of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA).
The Royal Institute of British Architects’ (RIBA) Council today approved 14 new RIBA Honorary Fellowships to reward individuals from a wide range of backgrounds, including politics, journalism, architecture, engineering and the arts.
RIBA Honorary Fellowships are awarded annually to people who have made a particular contribution to architecture – in the broadest sense. This includes its promotion, administration and outreach; and its role in building more sustainable communities and in the education of future generations.
The 2012 RIBA Honorary Fellowships will be awarded to:
Nicole Crockett - Chief Executive, Building Exploratory
Robert Elwall - Assistant Director, Photographs Collection, British Architectural Library, RIBA
Adrian Forty - academic and writer
Malcolm Hankey - Managing Director, Civic Trust Awards
Boris Johnson - Mayor of London
Doug King - environmental engineer, King Shaw Associates
Fiona MacCarthy - writer
Frank McDonald - Environment Editor, Irish Times
Sandra O’Connell - writer and curator, Open House Dublin
Peter Wynne Rees - Chief Planning Officer, City of London
Peter Salter - academic and writer
Richard Simmons academic and former Chief Executive, CABE
Chris Smith - National Planning Director, English Heritage
Ai Weiwei - artist
The RIBA Honorary Fellowships will be presented at a ceremony at the RIBA in London on 9 February 2012.
Speaking today, RIBA President Angela Brady said “Each of this year’s Honorary Fellows has made an enormous contribution to architecture, whether as a practitioner, designer, curator, writer or policy maker. The RIBA values everything that they have brought – in their very different ways – to the knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the world of architecture. I look forward to presenting them with their Honorary Fellowships in February.”
This year’s RIBA Honours Committee was chaired by RIBA President Angela Brady and included architects David Adjaye, Yvonne Farrell, Niall McLaughlin, Sarah Wigglesworth, and Sir Terence Conran.
This lifetime honour allows recipients to use the initials Hon FRIBA after their name.
