English Heritage Award for Sustaining the Historic Enviromnent
Background
The award is jointly awarded by RIBA London and English Heritage and is given to the building or other built environment project that, in the opinion of the jury, responds best to its historic location and surroundings. It is not necessarily a conservation award but the jury may chose to recognise exemplary conservation work.
The Award seeks to celebrate a new building or an addition to a building that has worked particularly well with the history that surrounds it, with the urban fabric or the materials of the past. It is awarded to the highest quality architecture of the present day for the way that it forms part of and contributes to the continuity and history of its London context.
The winner of the award will be selected from the RIBA regional award-winning London projects which are in conservation areas or are in or are adjacent or in close proximity to listed buildings.
