Haworth Tompkins’ ambitious rebuild in glorious detail
Riba last night awarded the annual Stirling Prize to Haworth Tompkins’ Everyman Theatre in Liverpool, beating bookies’ favourite the Saw Swee Hock Student Centre for the LSE, by O’Donnell & Tuomey Architects.
Riba President Stephen Hodder described it as an exceptional new building that “struck the perfect balance between continuity and change” in order to become “a ground-breaking example of how to build a daring bold and highly sustainable large public building in a historic city centre.”
The judges said the new Everyman was “truly for every man, woman and child”, cleverly resolving the issues of context and scale architects grapple with every day.
