This issue (read it here) is dedicated to the winners of the 2023 Architecture Today Awards for buildings that have stood the test of time.
We are hugely grateful to Timothy Soar who has travelled up and down the country to photograph these buildings as they are today. And to those who have taken the time to share their observations on the winning buildings and the way that they’ve evolved. Awards judges, designers, clients, but also, crucially, those whose lives have been enriched by the experience of inhabiting these buildings. Take Dr Paul Kelland GP, who explains how Rushton Street Surgery, conceived at the start of his career and still his base today, has shaped and facilitated his career. Or Rashan McDonald, who sat on the TNG Youth & Communty Centre steering group at the age of 13, and used the experience to build a career in youth and community work.
In AT329, Stuart Cade of MICA and Patrick Bellew of Atelier Ten discuss in the detail their work on the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford.
Together, they offer an eloquent testimony to architecture’s ability to effect change. Entries are now open for the 2024 awards. Visit architecturetoday.co.uk/at- awards/ to submit your building, and to celebrate the impact it’s made on people’s lives.
