RIBA unveils shortlist for 2022 Stirling Prize

Hopkins Architects’ net-zero 100 Liverpool Street office development and Panter Hudspith Architecture’s 228-home Orchard Gardens scheme in south London have been named on the six-strong shortlist for the 2022 RIBA Stirling Prize.

For Panter Hudspith and Mæ Architects – whose Sands End Arts and Community Centre in Fulham is also in the running for UK architecture’s highest accolade, 2022 represents a Stirling Prize shortlist debut.

Niall McLaughlin Architects’ New Library at Magdalene College, Cambridge, is the practice’s fourth shortlist placing. Reiach and Hall will also be hoping to make it fourth-time-lucky with their Forth Valley College – Falkirk Campus.

霍普金斯建筑事务所之前也三次入围斯特林奖，最近一次是在2011年赢得“人民投票”的2012年伦敦赛车场。它的第一个斯特林奖入围项目是威斯敏斯特的Portcullis House，当时该事务所被称为Michael Hopkins & Partners。

Henley Halebrown completes the 2022 shortlist with its Hackney New Primary School and 333 Kingsland Road project in east London, which judges described as a “unique” combination of education and affordable housing. It is the second time the practice has made the Stirling Prize shortlist, after its Chadwick Hall student-housing development for the University of Roehampton was selected as a finalist in 2018.

RIBA president Simon Allford said all six shortlisted projects gave cause for optimism by offering innovative solutions to current and future challenges at a time of housing, energy and climate crises.

“From major capital city regeneration programmes to new visions for higher education, they all share the ambition to deliver generous architecture fit for a low-carbon future,” he said.

“我们的四个入围方案提供了新的互动和学习空间。这些正式和非正式的环境——学校、大学和社区中心——是如何为持续的社区利益设计的缩影。此外，在紧凑而复杂的地块上，还有雄心勃勃的新住宅开发项目，为投资高质量、令人满意的城市住宅树立了基准。

“All six buildings are informed by close consultation and collaboration with clients, contractors and the community. The result: outstanding and welcoming architecture that lifts the spirit of all who engage with it.

“All six are also underpinned by their understanding of construction’s responsibility to mitigate and adapt to our climate crisis. From the reuse and upgrade of existing buildings to the conscious specification of low-carbon materials and technologies, to the thoughtful design of hybrid, flexible spaces – these schemes consider their environment and give generously to their community.

“建筑师对细节的关注，以及客户的决心和承诺，这六个项目脱颖而出，代表了当今英国最好的建筑。他们共同展示了卓越建筑改善生活的力量。祝贺所有参与其中的人。”

RIBA said the 2022 Stirling Prize winner would be announced on 13 October at the institute’s 66 Portland Place headquarters in London.
