SULTAN NAZRIN SHAH CENTRE WINS RIBA AWARDS

MAY 2018

Sultan Nazrin Shah Centre Wins RIBA Awards

We are delighted that our project Sultan Nazrin Shah Centre has won one of this year’s RIBA Regional Awards and the RIBA South Building of the Year. The project for Worcester College was won through a competition in 2013 and provides a new auditorium, dance space, seminar rooms, an e-hub and ancillary facilities on a site overlooking the spectacular Worcester College sports field.

The judges commented “To not only preserve but enhance this context would require a building of assured calm and grace. It would need to use materials with a tactile gravitas and be imbued with a timelessness which would make it feel as if it had always been there and need never leave. The Sultan Nazrin Shah Centre does all this and more.”

WELCOME TRUST BUILDING TALK

MARCH 2017

Welcome Trust Building Talk

On the 6th March Niall and Yeoryia Manolopoulou are giving a talk to the Welcome Trust on their Losing Myself collaboration that explores dementia, architecture and drawing, particularly through the contrast between the architect’s intention for a building and its subsequent inhabitation. The work represented Ireland at the 2016 Venice Biennale.
