Does it work for everyone?

摘要

The new RIBAJ MacEwen Award is a journalistic investigation. We want to find and publish the best examples in the UK and Ireland of projects with a clear social benefit, right across society. This is a magazine award - free to enter, open to all - which recognises that an ethical approach is a key part of good design. We want you to nominate schemes: your own, or by others you admire. Architects and their fellow professionals - especially engineers, landscape architects and town planners - have all the skills to make better places and thus better lives for people. Going beyond the basic brief is an almost instinctive part of what the best professionals in the built environment do. But at a time of great pressure on time and cost, in a system increasingly geared towards private profit more than public benefit, we feel it is time to reclaim some of that idealism.
