NEWS COLLABORATIVE WORKING


Spanish trio wins Pritzker Prize


Rafael Aranda, Carme Pigem and Ramon Vilalta, founding partners of Catalonian firm RCR Arquitectes, have been selected as the 2017 Pritzker Architecture Prize Laureates, the first time three architects have jointly won. According to the Hyatt Foundation


which sponsors the award, their work demonstrates an “unyielding commit- ment to place and its narrative, to create spaces that are in discourse with their respective contexts.” It added: “Harmonising materiality with transparency, Aranda, Pigem and Vilalta seek connections between the

exterior and interior, resulting in emo- tional and experiential architecture.” Tom Pritzker, chairman of Hyatt


Foundation commented: “The jury has selected three architects who have been working collaboratively for nearly three decades. They have had an impact on the discipline far beyond their immediate area, in works ranging from public and private spaces to cultural venues and educa- tional institutions. Their ability to intensely relate the environment spe- cific to each site is a testament to their process and deep integrity.” One of the reasons for the architects


being awarded the prize was their “intensely collaborative way of working together, where the creative process, commitment to vision and all responsibilities are shared equally.” Notable recent projects include La


Cuisine Art Center (Nègrepelisse, France, 2014), and Soulages Museum (Rodez, France, 2014) in collaboration with G. Trégouët.


AECOM and 7N Architects have secured planning permission in principle consent from Glasgow City Council for their mas- terplan which will mean a significant expansion of the University of Glasgow’s Gilmorehill Campus. The masterplan provides a development


and placemaking framework for the campus, which is on the site of the former Glasgow Western Infirmary in the heart of the West End of the city. It will provide up to 85,000 m2


of learning, teaching and


research space within a mixed use quarter which “will integrate the historic core of the campus with the surrounding neigh- bourhoods to the west, and form a new frontage to Kelvingrove Park to the south,” AECOM commented. AECOM and 7N Architects collaborated


on the design of the masterplan, which is “focused on creating an environment that will strengthen the university’s position as one of the world’s leading research-inten- sive universities.” The placemaking approach “uses the public realm as the spatial framework to cultivate social and intellectual interaction between colleges and stimulate collaborative learning and research,” said AECOM. The AECOM-led team also includes Simpson and Brown, Muir Smith Evans and Spaces that Work.


WWW.ARCHITECTSDATAFILE.CO.UK The masterplan will be delivered on a


phased basis, and will be informed by “extensive design guidance” on form, height, massing, frontages, articulation and materials to give coherence to the new development. Professor Anton Muscatelli, principal and


vice-chancellor of the University of Glasgow, commented: “An initial financial envelope of around £430m will be spent over the next five years on the first phase; this is part of a wider £1bn investment which includes significant spend on refur- bishing and improving the existing estate. This will be one of the biggest educational infrastructure projects in Scotland’s history and is certainly the biggest development undertaken by this university since it moved to Gilmorehill 150 years ago.” Jonathan Rose, architect and principal –


Design & Planning, AECOM, said: “The development will transform the campus with world-class facilities while sensitively reflecting the historic character of the city’s West End.” Ewan Anderson, managing partner of 7N


Architects, said: “The masterplan is princi- pally about making new connections – bringing the university’s colleges together, bringing the university and the city together, and bringing people together.”
