Newly-arrived RIBA head Harry Rich is pushing for a new award to be given to buildings that remain successful several years after completion
He said: 'Inevitably a lot of the good awards we have around at the moment tend to focus on aesthetics – even if they're not [intended to be] focused on that'.
'Great design in the built environment adds massive value to our economy and society. The more we can do as an organisation to demonstrate that, the more effective we'll be."
