DRIFT Featured in February RIBA Journal Celebrating the McEwen Award Projects

Written By Rachel O'Grady

DRIFT Longlisted for RIBA MacEwen Award 2025

An inspiring collection of 12 projects make up this year’s MacEwen Award shortlist, ranging from a floating events venue to a woodland retreat centred around a repurposed military parachute, but all embodying the concept of architecture for the common good

This floating pavilion opened up the River Lagan to the public in two locations last summer. It amplified the multisensory experience of the river and encouraged people to connect with related issues through sonic performances in collaboration with artist Matilde Meireles, plant-identification workshops, ecology presentations, river-themed films, mindfulness and stargazing.

The 12 Entries are listed here in the RIBA Journal Website here and the February edition of the RIBA journal here.
