St Pancras restoration wins RIBA award
Written: 30th May, 2008
The restored St Pancras Station in London has been awarded the RIBA London and English Heritage, Building in a Historic Context, accolade for 2008.
The award, which seeks to celebrate a new building or an addition to a building that has worked particularly well within the historic context that encases it, with the existing urban fabric, or the materials of the past, was announced at a breakfast briefing hosted by the RIBA.
Philip Davies, English Heritage's Planning and Development director for the South, said: "Without doubt, the renaissance of St Pancras is an outstanding achievement for which all those involved should feel incredibly proud.”
"It is absolutely right that St Pancras has been recognised by the RIBA today and English Heritage believe that the success of this development clearly demonstrates the powerful contribution that heritage can make to economic and physical regeneration on an epic scale."
