04 architectural study
six buildings go head-to-head
for the RIBA Stirling Prize 2017
An apartment development, a conservation and exhibition centre, a dockyard redevelopment, a college
campus, a restored pier and a photography studio make up this year’s RIBA Stirling Prize shortlist.
As diverse as they are innovatory, all six projects have qualities which prove their award-winning worth...

Barretts Grove by Groupwork + Amin Taha is a refreshing take

conservation project which demonstrates a restrained, needs-
must approach to repairs, while borrowing from the strong
industrial design language of its environment to create a
striking addition to the dockyard in the form of the new
visitor entrance, clad in black zinc. Jane Duncan said:
“Command of the Oceans brings a bold and accessible new
visitor experience to Chatham Historic Dockyard. A striking,
black visitor entrance, exciting approach to conservation
and inventive raised route around the complex have given
the dockyard a dramatic new lease of life.”

the bar for higher education buildings.”
Hastings Pier by dRMM Architects is not only built on the iron
remains of its Victorian predecessor but uses the reclaimed
timber to create a sense of continuity between the past and
the present. dRMM was selected for this project as part of a
RIBA competition and went above and beyond to realise the
finished structure; writing the brief and helping raise the
funds before design work had begun. Jane Duncan said:
“Hastings Pier has been driven by the passionate local
community in response to the fire that destroyed their
Victorian pier in 2010. This versatile and beautiful
contemporary pier and visitors centre sits upon the repaired
Victorian iron work of the original pier and is kick-starting the
town’s renaissance.”
Photography Studio for Juergen Teller by 6a is a refined,
yet flexible workspace for the celebrated photographer,
comprising a series of three buildings and gardens.
The detailing, from the finely formed stairs to the delicately

beaded timber frames, is exquisite. Jane Duncan said:

“Despite its constrained and semi-industrial plot in west
London, the Photography Studio for Juergen Teller is an oasis
in which the architects and landscape designer, Dan Pearson,
have created a seemingly modest yet sublime light-filled
studio and garden. Every single detail created by this
exceptionally talented architect is precise and highly
considered.”
The winner of the RIBA Stirling Prize 2017 will be announced
on Tuesday 31 October at the Roundhouse, London.

Bringing together six major faculties in 300 high-tech
classrooms, multi-purpose lecture theatres and specialist
teaching facilities, City of Glasgow College is both immense in
scale (60,000m2) and considerate of details. Jane Duncan said:
“The City of Glasgow College’s new City Campus is an
immensely confident contribution to the architecture of the
city, and is testament to Scotland’s commitment to invest in
high-quality further education. Unique elements like street-
front shops for the college’s trainee hairdressers and chefs to

refurbishment is a towering success
Marcus Lee, sales director of IKO’s Specification Division, explains how repairs to London’s iconic
Tower Bridge were completed ahead of schedule...
September 2016 for three months, to allow contractors to
replace decking and resurface walkways, made for a very high
profile project. Bam Nuttall, the main contractor working for
The City of London, employed O’Rourke Contracting to
reconstruct the carriageway and walkways. O’Rourke sub-
contracted the mastic asphalt work to Infallible Systems
working with IKO.
The challenge for Infallible was to strip back the existing
mastic asphalt and replace it on the pedestrian areas around
the base of the bridge’s main towers and walkways while,
at the same time, minimising disruption to the daily
pedestrian and river traffic. Weight restrictions prevented the
contractor from using heavy lorries or machinery on the
bridge, so the material could not be delivered directly to
where it was used. It was also necessary to complete the
project as quickly as possible to re-open the road to vehicles.
The old mastic asphalt had performed well so it was decided
to use a similar material for the refurbishment. Mastic asphalt
provides a hard, durable and long-lasting material and,
with no joints or trip hazards, it was suitable for a pedestrian
walkway in such a busy location. Infallible proposed a
polymer-modified mastic asphalt which is used extensively
as the surface course for expansion joints on both raised
structures and a ariety of bridge decks. No compaction
was required, saving time and resources.

Mastic asphalt also offers high stability and no impact
TowerBridge is an instantly recognisable symbol sensitivity, accommodating structural movements without

We were particularly happy to open the Bridge a week early
as a Christmas present to all Londoners. I would like to thank
local residents, businesses and, of course, commuters for
their patience while we undertook this essential work.
Tower Bridge will continue as a defining landmark for
London, as well as a vital river crossing of the Thames,
for decades to come.”
John Chapman, director of Infallible Systems, on the
challenges of the project: “We knew the schedule was tight,
but achievable if the weather was reasonable. Having hot
charge deliveries from the manufacturer –approximately 400
tonnes of material ready to lay as and when we needed it –
helped us keep to the tight schedules and minimise
disruption. However, when we started work on the main piers,
we found the asphalt we had to remove was 160mm thick –
much more than expected. We replaced it with a 10mm
waterproofing layer and a bridge surfacing layer to an
average depth of 30mm. We broke out 400 tonnes of material,
cleared it and replaced it with new –handling 800 tonnes
altogether – all without having any lorries or machinery on
the bridge due to weight restrictions.”
Wayne Perrin, business development manager for IKO,
which supplied the mastic asphalt, commented on the
carbon impact of the project: “Carbon emissions from
400 tonnes of mastic asphalt product were offset through
a selection of projects, most notably CO2balance’s Kenyan
Energy Efficient Stove Project.”
IKO and Infallible Systems were shortlisted for the
Tower Bridge project in the Mastic Asphalt/Hot Melt
category in the NFRC UK Roofing Awards 2017.
