The RIBA Stirling Award (Royal Institution of British Architects) is the highest British architectural Prize. The award is given to the architect of the building thought to be the most significant of the year for the evolution of architecture and the built environment.
Extract of the jury’s comment on Tintagel Castle Footbridge by Ney & Partners and William Matthews Associates:
“This new bridge is beautifully executed at all scales, from the way it respects the silhouette of the landforms it abuts, down to the tactile detail of its path, made from slate on edge…
This is much more than a bridge. It is a connector, an enabler, an interpreter and a spectacle all within its own right.”
The winner was announced on November 10 and is Kingston University London – Town House designed by Grafton Architects.
