Japanese studio SANAA, which is led by Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa, has been awarded the 2025 Royal Gold Medal by the Royal Institute of British Architects.

Described by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) as “unassuming yet impactful”, SANAA was awarded the annual accolade in recognition of its contribution to the advancement of architecture.

The prize, regarded as one of the most prestigious in the field, adds to SANAA’s impressive list of honors, which already includes the 2010 Pritzker Architecture Prize, the 2022 Praemium Imperiale for Architecture, and the 2025 Le Prix Charlotte Perriand.
