Ken Worpole Imagination Ken Worpole This essay looks at the contribution which good architecture and design can make to successful modern towns and cities. It examines, in turn, how this is achieved through securing greater value for money through technical and intellectual expertise, through providing more enjoyable and productive settings at home and in the work-place, through greater energy-efficiency and adaptability, and finally through creating attractive – and crowd-pulling – places and spaces in their own right. RIB Ken Worpole is a Senior Associate of both Demos and Comedia, two well-known policy consultancies. He is the author of a number of books A and reports on urban and cultural issues, and his latest book, Here Comes Studies Future the Sun: Architecture, Modernism and the Open Air, will be published by Reaktion Books in 2000. In 1999 he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate by Middlesex University for his work on social policy.

  • Continuity and Development in Architecture Transcript
    Continuity and Development in Architecture Transcript Date: Thursday, 5 June 2014 - 6:00PM Location: Guildhall 05 June 2014 The Gresham Special Lecture Continuity and Development in Architecture Stephen Hodder MBE President of the Royal Institute of British Architects I am deeply honoured to have been invited to give this year’s Gresham Special lecture. For this I have chosen the subject ‘Continuity and tradition, an exploration of the value and impact of architecture’, using the Stirling Prize as a vehicle for this exploration. But I would like to start with a quotation; ‘Good design builds communities, creates quality of life, and makes places better for people to live, work and play in. I want to make sure we’re doing all we can to recognise the importance of architecture and reap the benefits of good design.’ Ed Vaizey MP, in his foreword to the Farrell review Established in 1996 the RIBA Stirling Prize is awarded to a building that has made the most significant contribution to the advancement of architecture and the built environment in the European Union in a given year. But first a little background. The RIBA Awards have been running annually since 1966, and the Building of the Year since 1993, initially the gift of the President. Buildings are initially entered and assessed regional. Regional award-winning buildings are then considered nationally, from which a shortlist of six national award-winning buildings go on to be considered for the premier prize. It is a most rigorous process with each building being visited by a panel comprising of both architect and lay judges.
