Stirling Prize Shortlist Media Coverage

STIRLING PRIZE SHORTLIST MEDIA COVERAGE

SEPTEMBER 2013

In a conversation on BBC Radio 4‘s Front Row, journalist and broadcaster Tom Dyckhoff has described this year’s Stirling Prize shortlist as representing “a completely new outlook on architecture…the voice of a new generation.” Together with architect and chair of the judges Philip Gumunchidan, the two critics reflected on what the shortlist says about the state of British architecture and the growing appetite for commissioning innovative contemporary buildings. During the broadcast, Front Row’s John Wilson described the chapel as an “absolutely stunningly beautiful” geometric structure.

UNIT 17 EXHIBITION, BARTLETT SUMMER SHOW 2013

JUNE 2013

With direction from tutors Niall McLaughlin, Yeoryia Manolopoulou and Michiko Sumi, this year’s Unit 17 Masters students have designed and fabricated a thirteen-seat table as the focal point of their exhibition space.

The table is intended to become a platform around which architects, artists and academics can debate the ideas and questions raised by the students’ work in relation to the wider context.

The exhibition opened on Friday 21st and has since held the first of four lively debates. The next will take place on Wednesday 26th at 12:30pm.
