The Architects’ Journal Architecture News & Buildings
Citizens Design Bureau’s revamp of the historic Jacksons Lane theatre, which is housed in a Grade II-listed former church in Highgate, and CarverHaggard's 198 Contemporary Arts and Learning - a £1.1 million retrofit for a Brixton contemporary arts organisation - have both made the cultural and religious building up to £5 million category.
In the £5 million and over category, two 2022 AJ Architecture Awards-winning projects – The Burrell Collection by John McAslan + Partners and Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios’ Bath Abbey Footprint Project – have both made the shortlist.
TDO, ScottWhitbyStudio, New Practice and Freehaus all feature in the Health and Community category, with low-budget, high-impact projects including Freehaus’s Africa Centre in its new Southwark home.
