Hawo r t h Tompk ins ’
Everyman Teatre has beaten the likes of the London Aquatic Centre and the Shard to be crowned this year’s RIBA Stirling Prize winner. The London-based prac-
tice had to fight off stiff competition from other illus- trious firms and their projects including Zaha Hadid’s afore- mentioned Aquatic Centre and Renzo Piano’s Shard, as well as Mecanoo’s Library of Birmingham, O’Donnell + Tuomey’s Saw Swee Hock and Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios’ Manchester School of Art. More than 4,500 people visited the theatre on

Haworth Tompkins won the Stirling Prize for the Everyman Teatre
its first day alone, with the total figure passing 30,000 since the Everyman opened in March. Situated in Liverpool, the Everyman was
built to replace its 19th century predecessor, formerly an icon for the city. Te most eye- catching element of the structure is the main facade, which consists of a large scale piece of public art, with 105 metal sheets showing images of contemporary Liverpool residents. Speaking at the Stirling Awards, RIBA president Stephen Hodder said: “Te success
of this exceptional new building lies in the architect’s close involvement with the local community throughout the project. Tis is reflected, not only in the community centred facade, but also through the building’s pri- mary use of serving the wider public.” With a total spend of approximately
£28m on the overall project – following a decade of planning and construction – it appears that the Stirling Prize winner Everyman Theatre has proven to be well worth both the wait and its considerable cost. Details:

Floating deckway for London cycling?
For how best to cater for cyclists in the UK’s capital, more ideas are being “floated” than ever. Te latest is the Tames Deckway, a 7-mile (11km) cycle path that would float alongside the banks of London’s famed river. Tames Deckway is a concept proposed
by River Cycleway Consortium, which is led by architect David Nixon and environmen- tal entrepreneur Anna Hill, in conjunction with Arup and David Broughton Architects. Running from Battersea to Canary Wharf, the waterside cycle path would decrease journey times by up to 30 minutes, the con- sortium predicted. One of the downsides of the seven miles of floating decking, which would potentially have to carry thousands of com- muting cyclists, would be its prohibitive costs. At an estimated £600m, the consortium sug- gested off-setting the costs by charging cyclists £1.50 per journey. A single Tube journey, by comparison, currently costs passengers £4.70.

Te proposed floating bikeway passes City Hall German Dector-Vega, London director for
sustainable transport charity Sustrans, expressed concerns. “It’s exciting to see innovation and new ideas focused so much on cycling, per- haps for the first time in our generation,” he told Leisure Opportunites. “But, despite being well intentioned, this scheme wouldn’t provide good value for money.” Details:
