RIBA Stirling Prize 2023 shortlist announced

The RIBA Stirling Prize awards have been presented since 1996 to ‘the architect of the building thought to be the most significant of the year for the evolution of architecture and the built environment’. The award is ‘judged on a range of criteria including design vision, innovation and originality, capacity to stimulate engage and delight occupants and visitors, accessibility and sustainability, how fit the building is for its purpose and the level of client satisfaction’. The winner of the RIBA Stirling Prize 2023 will be announced live in Manchester at the Stirling Prize ceremony on 19 October 2023.

The shortlisted architects for the 2023 Stirling Prize are Apparata Architects for a House for Artists in Barking, Adam Khan Architects for Central Somers Town Community Facilities and Housing in Camden, Sergison Bates architects for Lavender Hill Courtyard Housing in Clapham, Witherford Watson Mann Architects for Courtauld Connects – The Courtauld Institute of Art, Mæ for the John Morden Centre in Blackheath and Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios for the University of Warwick – Faculty of Arts.

RIBA jury comments: ‘The project provides a delightful set of meandering spaces which expertly combines recreational and more tricky medical facilities without feeling institutional. Such stimulating spaces are vital to conquer loneliness and isolation. It is beautifully yet robustly detailed and should be a joy to use for years to come’. Photo Jim Stephenson
