Shortlisted for the RIBA Stirling Prize 2018

Tate St Ives was one of six buildings shortlisted for the RIBA Stirling Prize 2018, for the best building in the UK.

The RIBA Jury said: ‘The evolution of this iconic south west attraction has overcome huge challenges, navigating vociferous local stakeholders and significant site constraints. By architectural ingenuity, a building has been delivered where there appeared to be no site available, with minimal intrusion on an already crowded horizon. It has created an intriguing new public landscape and pedestrian connection from hilltop to beach and, with subtle reordering of the original gallery, it achieves a seamless environment to in which to enjoy art.’
