Housing Project Wins Architecture Prize
Accordia, a new housing project in Cambridge, has taken Britain's 13th annual Riba Stirling architectural prize. Accordia is the first public housing project to win the prestigious award. "Today, the big architectural concern in Britain is decent housing, and to their credit the Stirling judges have plumped for one of the very best schemes Britain has to offer,” Jonathan Glancey writes a Guardian column, continuing, “This is some of the very best new housing anywhere in Britain, and it is good new housing that we find it so very hard to design and build today." All the flats at Accordia face common gardens, and “and each is as unpretentious as it is generously planned and well-detailed.”
