The RIBA Stirling prize is given each year to one selected building. And this year’s prize went to the Maggie Center by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners.
Richard Rogers on the Maggie’s Center building, by The Architects’ Journal
This small buildings has a great inside/outside integration, given by the combination of several transparent planes and the independent roof, as you can see on the photos.
After the break, more photos by architectural photographer José Miguel Hernández Hernández, and a short video by AJ.

Very rich and beautiful! Makes me realize how disconnected new up & coming architects really are! This is truly a breath of fresh air!
Anyone who know, please, the name of the chairs in the picture?
yes. so true. a beautiful lovely space.
Love Richard Rogers’ work. It is too bad most non-architects don’t get it.
Great use of color and material diversity.
very modest, yet playful, intimate
May be Richard Rogers have a great influence on the jury of Stirilng Prize.
..
hate the roof,
love the space inside :)
hard to find any progress from 50,60-ties in Scandinavia
anyone, care to guess the other two countries which come close to britian’s architectural prowess?as mentioned in the video.
I would guess Switzerland and Denmark. Or Japan. Or Holland. I think, as is often the case in with stuff that gets published in the AJ, vastly out of touch with the reality.
not convincing at all. where’s the innovation? what’s so interesting about this?
What is captcha code?, pls provide me captcha code codes or plugin, Thanks in advance.
