Architects of QUAD win prestigious prize

The Riba Stirling prize, an annual architectural competition, made in association with the Architects' Journal has been won by the design team behind QUAD.
The winning building was Accordia, a new housing scheme in Cambridge, a composition of varied flats and houses with courtyards, rooftop gardens and commonly shared public gardens. The scheme was designed by collaboration between architects Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, Alison Brooks Architects and Macreanor Lavington. Now in its 13th year, the Stirling claims to be architecture's Turner prize.
Feilden Clegg Bradley were the architects who designed QUAD, Derby’s £11 M new centre for art and film. The £11 M venue, which opened on 26th September, is based on the Market Place in Derby city centre. QUAD is a gallery, cinema, café bar and workshop that anyone can use, and aims to be an organisation and building that is of local, national and international significance. QUAD strives to best serve the needs of the people of Derby and the region by attracting the most significant and important names in the world of art and film and bring them to the city.
