"Involving RIBA Competitions allowed us to reach a larger pool of architects within the UK and internationally. The process allows a wider spectrum of practices to put themselves forward for consideration where they may not have otherwise had the opportunity. The LSE are committed to the design competition process and it will be the cornerstone of future major developments."
