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.

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!

Love Richard Rogers’ work. It is too bad most non-architects don’t get it.
