Re-thinking Home: The Davidson Prize 2024 Awards Ceremony

As the UK faces a housing shortage amid a climate crisis there is an urgent need to reimagine what the ideal home of the future might be.

To achieve net zero while bridging the gap between housing demand and supply, the adaptive reuse of existing structures will be an important part of the solution but is something only good design can successfully solve.

With the theme 'Rethinking Home - Adapt and Reuse', the 2024 Davidson Prize called for teams to choose any existing non-residential structure/s and explore how it could be upcycled, retrofitted and/or mined to provide exemplary sustainable housing.

Ideas ranged from empty office blocks to abandoned quarries to electricity pylons.

The winner of the 2024 Prize will be announced during a live ceremony and the longlist and finalist entries will be showcased on the night.
