National Portrait Gallery by Jamie Fobert Architects and Purcell is shortlisted for RIBA's Stirling Prize 2024.
Reimagining a historic cultural institution - National Portrait Gallery is a seamless blend of contemporary design and conservation of historical elements that reinvigorate this Grade I* listed cultural institution.
Visitor experience is enhanced by a welcoming new entrance of bronze doors featuring hand-drawn portraits by Tracey Emin, along with a light-filled learning centre and accessible public space carved from former offices. The entrance reorientates the gallery towards the bustling West End on which its back was previously turned, while crucial accessibility alterations have opened the building to all, including an entrance ramp and wider doorways. Careful interventions, such as using original windows to form new doorways, exemplify a harmony between heritage and adaptability.
Presented by the Royal Institute of British Architects since 1996, the Stirling Prize recognises the UK’s best new architecture.
