The Grenfell Tower Memorial Commission and the RIBA have shortlisted five architecture firms to design the memorial to be built on the site of the tower.
The studios selected from the 28 applications received are Curl la Tourelle Head Architecture, Freehaus, George King Architects with Grow to Know, New South and Office Sian.
The Memorial Commission, which is made up of representatives of the bereaved, survivors and local residents, said that due diligence checks were carried out to ensure none of the companies or people potentially working on the project bear any responsibility for the fire that killed 72 people in June 2017.
Over the next six months, the five studios shortlisted will go through a second round of evaluation, which includes meetings with bereaved families, survivors and the immediate community that lives close to Grenfell Tower.
