Farringdon Station and the Elizabeth line have earned a place on RIBA Stirling Prize 2024 shortlist!
by AHR
We are delighted to see that the Elizabeth line in London has been shortlisted for the prestigious RIBA Stirling Prize 2024!
Working as part of a larger, multi-disciplinary design team working for Crossrail, we designed Farringdon Station, one of ten new stations created along the Elizabeth line, which has been shortlisted for the RIBA Stirling Prize 2024. This state of the art station prioritises accessibility, safety and comfort, feels modern and sleek, whilst acknowledging the rich, cultural heritage of the site.
As well as providing connections to the southwest and beyond, this key transport hub has become a catalyst for the regeneration of Farringdon, bringing visitors and commuters alike to this vibrant district.
The newly opened Elizabeth line has arguably had the most impact on London’s transportation in over 20 years. The line is the biggest expansion to the underground network in over a century, running 118 km east to west across the city through 42 km of new tunnels. We were part of a team appointed to design ten new stations along the line.
Awarded by the RIBA, the Stirling Prize has been presented since 1996 and recognises the best new UK architecture each year. We would like to congratulate the line wide design team; Grimshaw, Maynard Design Consultancy, AtkinsRéalis, and EQUATION Lighting Design teams, as well as our fellow architects behind the line’s other new stations: John McAslan + Partners, Hawkins\Brown, WilkinsonEyre, Weston Williamson + Partners, BDP, Adamson Associates, Allies and Morrison, and Fereday Pollard.
Good luck to all our fellow competitors and we can’t wait to see the results in October!
