神马福利影片

The 神马福利影片鈥檚 Faculty of Arts building has been shortlisted for the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Stirling Prize 2023. 

The 拢60m building is one of six on the final shortlist for the prestigious award, and the only one outside of London.  

Designed by Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, the building brings together the departments and schools of the faculty under one roof.  

Providing a world-class centre for teaching and research, it includes an antiquities room, cinema, theatre studios and a media lab, along with multi-purpose events and exhibition spaces. 

Sitting at the heart of a campus which is designed to have a parkland feel, the building was conceived as four light-filled pavilions grouped around a central stair, sitting amongst the mature trees of its site.  

The footprint was designed to keep existing large trees including oaks, pines and poplars. Innovation is at the very core of the building structure, with four distinct pavilion buildings connected by a full-height atrium, creating an open space for creative thinking, and cross collaboration across the arts.  

The public realm extends into the exhibition, social learning, and caf茅 use on the ground floor. An internal 鈥渟treet鈥� provides a route through the building. Lit from above by natural light, it is designed to be a flexible space, providing breakout areas for the auditoria, theatre performance, and cinema spaces that open onto it.  

Commenting on the shortlisting, Vice-Provost and Chair of the Faculty of Arts, Rachel Moseley, said: 鈥淚t鈥檚 a huge honour for our Faculty of Arts building to be nominated for RIBA鈥檚 prestigious Stirling Prize.  

鈥淭he building is designed to encourage collaborative working and to inspire creative learning and research across and between disciplines. It's already become a much- loved space for students and colleagues from across the University, and as the only recognised building outside of London. 

鈥淭he building underlines our deep commitment to the arts and humanities at Warwick – we've invested over 拢100m in the FAB and improving our world class arts centre. It鈥檚 a testament to our passion for art and humanities subjects and the building really is a material expression of that.鈥�  

Keith Bradley, Founding Partner at Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, added: 鈥淏eing shortlisted for the Stirling Prize is very special as an acknowledgement of our work with the 神马福利影片 as well as with the wider consultant and contractor team on the Faculty of Arts Building. 

鈥淲hat we have created together is a place that students, academics, and other staff want to be - facilitating interactive learning and research in a set of 鈥榣ive鈥� physical spaces - having returned from the digital world that dominated in the Covid years. Warwick鈥檚 Faculty of Arts is a place that connects its people and the wider natural landscape setting. Essential requirements for wellbeing that makes Architecture a Social and Environmental Art鈥�. 

Following on from the successful shortlisting process, the University鈥檚 Faculty of Arts building will now go onto the RIBA Stirling Prize in recognition of architectural excellence on 19 October 2023.
