Elizabeth Tower shortlisted for RIBA London Award

The conservation project has been the most extensive in the tower's 160-year history, and has seen the tower comprehensively repaired while undoing previous interventions, and extending its life cycle before the next refurbishment to 50 years, safeguarding its future as a cultural monument and heritage site.

This immense project wouldn't be possible without the joint up effort of a huge multidisciplinary team: project managers, quantity surveyors, structural engineers, and craftspeople, who used a variety of traditional trades - stone masonry, gilding, glass cutting, and horology - celebrating our architectural heritage and preserving skillsets in decline.

The V&A Photography Gallery, a collaboration with Gibson Thornley Architects, has also been shortlisted. Last year the National Portrait Gallery renovation, with Jamie Fobert Architects, was shortlisted for the RIBA Stirling Prize.
