RIBA Stirling Prize nomination for Newport Street Gallery

Newport Street Gallery has been shortlisted for the RIBA Stirling Prize, the UK's most prestigious award for architecture.

The gallery has been chosen from a list of 47 RIBA National Award winners to be part of the final shortlist for the prize. 

Writing for the Financial Times, architecture critic Edwin Heathcote described the gallery as ''perhaps the best the city has seen for decades, a return to a kind of Edwardian civic architectural grandeur."

Commenting on the projects, RIBA president Jane Duncan, said: ‘Every one illustrates the huge benefit that well-designed buildings can bring to people’s lives. As with Trafalgar Place and Newport Street Gallery, they can kick-start regeneration in neglected urban pockets to create new, desirable destinations and communities.'

The RIBA Stirling Prize will be announced on 6th October.
