Deal Pier nominated for design award
Comments |
The new cafe at the end of Deal Pier has been
shortlisted for another award.
The Royal Institute of British Architects announced the
nomination for the 2009 special awards today.
Drawn from the 103 RIBA award-winning buildings announced
earlier this year, the winners will be announced on Saturday
October 17.
The Stephen Lawrence Prize, for which the pier scheme has been
nominated, is sponsored by the Marco Goldschmied Foundation and
rewards the best examples of projects that have a construction
budget of less than £1 million
The £5,000 prize is intended to encourage fresh talent working
with smaller budgets. The award is judged by a panel including
architect and past President of the RIBA Marco Goldschmied, and
Doreen Lawrence OBE, mother of the teenager who was setting out on
the road to becoming an architect when he was murdered in 1993.
The Deal Pier project was designed by Niall Mclaughlin
Architects. Ironically, the work was carried out by Dover-based
company Barwick Construction, which has become of the latest
victims of the recession and gone into administration.
The other shortlisted entries for the award are The Long Barn
Studio in Maulden, Bedfordshire, by Nicolas Tye Architects, El Ray
at Dungeness by Simon Conder Associates, Hind House, Wargrave by
John Pardey Architects, and House in Highgate Cemetery by Eldridge
Smerin.
