This annual review highlights some of the new buildings in the Yorkshire and Humber region; and showcases those that won RIBA Awards and RIBA Yorkshire White Rose Awards for Design Excellence in 2005. Sixty-three buildings from across the Yorkshire and Humber region were entered for the White Rose Awards in 2005. Eighteen were shortlisted and twelve awards were given. The quality and standard of the entries was extremely high, and the range of projects entered was diverse, ranging from the new Underground Gallery at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park to an innovative school classroom and several domestic extensions. David Smith Regional Chairman The RIBA Yorkshire White Rose Student Medal Awards continue to recognise the skills and talents of students from Architecture Schools around the region, together with other allied professional courses within the construction industry. In 2005, four students from Architecture Schools at Leeds Metropolitan University, the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University received awards. The highly successful 4x4 Making Places lecture series goes from strength to strength, with a strong line-up of participants in the 2006 ‘International Green’ sessions held in March. The series is now a nationally-recognised entry on the architectural calendar. For more details, see the website www.makingplaces.com. RIBA Yorkshire Region covers Yorkshire and The Humber: it is directed by a Council elected from amongst its 1,320 Chartered Members. Across the Region are nine local Branches, which promote design excellence locally and support the profession. The RIBA Regions fulfil a vital co-ordinating role between RIBA Members and the public. We provide core services for RIBA Members and administer key RIBA strategies. The Regions promote architecture and RIBA Members, through events and initiatives. We also ensure that RIBA Members maintain their professional competency through provision of a Continuing Professional Development programme.

The classroom itself is a large space whose volume is formed by a series of portal frames clad in corrugated steel, oak and polycarbonate sheeting. Internally, the classroom uses natural light and a variety of materials as natural stimulation. This building has made a huge impact on the daily lives of children, staff and adults who use it, offering imaginative design solutions, flexibility of use and access for all. The White Rose Award jurors found this project delightful and an exemplar for new school buildings. Much of this was due to the close involvement of the teaching staff in the briefing process and throughout design development, hence the RIBA Yorkshire White Rose Award judges awarded the school’s staff and pupils the Client of the Year Award. 01-16 YRIBA MAY 06 Intro 5/6/06 3:44 pm Page 3 Contents Published on behalf of RIBA Yorkshire by Introduction 5 What is the RIBA?

As quite a large college on a tight site, it is laid out over several storeys and is relatively compact in its planning. The jurors were impressed by the way the building provided such an interesting range of spaces, generating such a pleasant and dynamic atmosphere for learning that many of the students delay going home after school is over. This is a completely new college and is a good example of how design can have a critical, positive effect on the well-being of the institution and on its neighbourhood. 01-16 YRIBA MAY 06 Intro 5/6/06 3:45 pm Page 5 What is the RIBA? The RIBA is the first and most famous architectural institute in the world. Founded in 1834, its mission is: To advance architecture by demonstrating benefit to society and promoting excellence in the profession. It is a registered charity and has more than 32,000 members in over 100 countries. The RIBA is its architect members. A voluntary, democratic, self-financing and independent worldwide association, who share the same knowledge base and the same concern for the built environment. Jack Pringle, RIBA President The RIBA is an international knowledge-based network, committed to the improvement and enjoyment of architecture. The collective voice of its membership is powerful and is used effectively in dialogue with Government, clients and the construction industry. RIBA is governed by a Council of 62, elected from its Chartered (ie architect) members. The RIBA President, Jack Pringle, is separately elected by the Chartered members and he chairs RIBA Council. The 190-strong staff of the RIBA are led by the Chief Executive, Richard Hastilow. There is a structure of regions and branches, with 14 regional offices across the UK.

Wherever possible original elements were retained and repaired using traditional materials. The existing and new buildings have been laid out to create a variety of external spaces linked by pedestrian and vehicle routes. The area has been given a new lease of life by such a vibrant redevelopment of the existing derelict site. The judges awarded the Regeneration Award for this sympathetic restoration that sits well with contemporary new build. 01-16 YRIBA MAY 06 Intro 5/6/06 3:47 pm Page 7 Client Services Regardless of the type or size of your intended project, if you are looking for an architect, RIBA Client Services provides a range of services to ensure an informed selection of the best architect for the job.

The RIBA Competitions Office is able to advise on the most appropriate competitive process for your project, and has the resources to smoothly manage and administer the whole process for you, through to the appointment of a winner. If you are planning to select your architect or design team through competition, the RIBA Competitions Office is able to advise on the most appropriate competitive process for your project, and if required, can manage the process smoothly through to the appointment of the winner. An RIBA approved competition provides a client with several valuable benefits – RIBA endorsement, which is critical in the eyes of many clients; agreed costs and timescales; co-ordinated publicity; alternative architectural designs; and not least a tangible atmosphere of excitement in the selection of a quality building through a well structured and auditable process. There are two distinct forms of competition: 1. Find the right architect or design team for a project Finding the right architect is usually done through Competitive Interview. This process is relatively quick and is especially suited to projects where appointing an architect is required to help the client develop the project brief. ● Competitive Interview: Expressions of interest are requested from registered architects, with a shortlist being selected for interview. Only a broad project brief is required, and a commitment to build. 2. Find the most appropriate design solution for a project Finding the most appropriate design solution requires a detailed brief to be issued to all participants to enable comparative design submissions to be made. ● Open Ideas Competitions to identify a range of possible design solutions, against a broad conceptual brief, with no commitment to build. ● Open Project Competition to find a single design solution. Often a two-stage competition, open to all registered architects with a detailed project brief and a commitment to build. ● Invited Competition to find a single design solution. Restricted to selected architects, with a detailed project brief and a commitment to build. 7 01-16 YRIBA MAY 06 Intro 5/6/06 3:48 pm Page 8 Winner, Sport & Leisure Category, RIBA Yorkshire White Rose Awards 2005 Yorkshire Building of the Year, RIBA Yorkshire White Rose Awards 2005 Project: The Underground Gallery, Yorkshire Sculpture Park Architect: Feilden Clegg Bradley Architects LLP Bath Brewery Toll Bridge Road Bath BA1 7DE Tel: 01225 852545 Fax: 01225 852528 Email: [email protected] Client: Yorkshire Sculpture Park Photo: Dennis Gilbert/VIEW 8 One of the largest purpose-built galleries to have been constructed in Britain in a number of years, the brief was to create a series of indoor gallery spaces which would be capable of accommodating large scale pieces. A particular focus was ensuring a sensitive intervention in the historic landscape. The solution was to tuck the Gallery under the sloping lawn of the 18th century Bothy Garden, with extensive views over Bretton Park. The 300m long gallery concourse is clad internally in Pennine Sandstone. The south-facing front elevation is fully glazed. Large sliding timber doors can be used to vary the degree of enclosure. The continuous rooflight washes the rear wall with daylight. The White Rose Award judges admired the intelligently simple concept of this scheme. They describe it as a fantastic, atmospheric building with the architects’ use of space providing a calming atmosphere. 01-16 YRIBA MAY 06 Intro 5/6/06 3:48 pm Page 9 Why use an Architect? Whether you intend to construct a new building, expand your current facility, or adapt an existing structure to a new use, it makes sense to consult a professional who shares your concerns. Are you a commercial client commissioning architecture? Architects are trained to take your brief and can see the big picture – they look beyond your immediate requirements to design flexible buildings that will adapt with the changing needs of your business. Architects solve problems creatively – when architects are involved at the earliest planning stage, they gain more opportunities to understand your business, develop creative solutions, and propose ways to reduce costs. Architects can save you money by maximising your investment. A well-designed building can reduce your bills now and increase its longterm value. Architects can manage your project from site selection to completion. In many building projects the role of the architect includes co-ordinating a team of specialist consultants such as landscape architects, engineers, quantity surveyors, interior designers, builders and subcontractors. Architects can save you time – by managing and co-ordinating key project elements, allowing you to focus on your organisation’s activities. Architects can help your business – they create total environments – interior and exterior – which are pleasing and functional for the people who work and do business within them.

Rationalising the accessibility was one of the principal challenges. A new building was built to link the two wings of accommodation and to provide a single central entrance using lightweight steel and glass. The restored cell corridor is a focus for heritage activities. The new environmental technologies included in the refurbishment works provide an education and advocacy showcase.

The house is set in a gorgeous rural location with a fabulous garden, of which the fullyglazed south façade allows uninterrupted views. Ancient and modern have been tastefully combined. The use of slate, stone and exposed green oak beams give the space a natural, rustic feel. The extension is a light and airy building which takes its inspiration from the proportions and materials of the original house. 14 The owners say that the extension has totally transformed the way in which the house can be enjoyed and has become the centre of family life. 01-16 YRIBA MAY 06 Intro 5/6/06 3:53 pm Page 15 RIBA Regional Network 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 RIBA East The Studio, High Green, Great Shelford, Cambridge CB2 5EG T 01223 566285 F 01223 505142 E [email protected] www.architecture.com/ribaeast RIBA East Midlands Art, Architecture & Design, University of Lincoln, Brayford Pool, Lincoln LN6 7TS T 01522 837480 F 01522 837136 E [email protected] www.architecture.com/ribaeastmidlands RIBA London RIBA, 66 Portland Place, London W1B 1AD T 020 7307 3681 F 020 7307 3788 E [email protected] www.architecture.com/ribalondon For Client Services call 020 7307 3700 RIBA North East School of the Built Environment, Northumbria University Ellison Building, Ellison Place, Newcastle-upon-Tyne NE1 8ST T 07875 492 659 E [email protected] www.architecture.com/ribanorth 9 10 11 RIBA Wessex 12c Church Farm Business Park, Corston, Bath BA2 9AP T 01225 874700 F 01225 874422 E [email protected] www.architecture.com/ribawessex RIBA West Midlands Birmingham & Midlands Institute, Margaret Street, Birmingham B3 3SP T 0121 233 2321 F 0121 233 4946 E [email protected] www.architecture.com/ribawestmidlands RIBA Yorkshire The Green Sand Foundry, 99 Water Lane, Holbeck Leeds, West Yorkshire LS11 5QN T 0113 237 8480 F 0113 237 8488 E [email protected] www.architecture.com/ribayorkshire 12 13 14 Scotland - RIAS The Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland 15 Rutland Square, Edinburgh EH1 2BE T 0131 229 7545 F 0131 228 2188 E [email protected] www.rias.org.uk Northern Ireland - RSUA The Royal Society of Ulster Architects 2 Mount Charles, Belfast BT7 1NZ T 028 9032 3760 F 028 9023 7313 E [email protected] www.rsua.org.uk Wales - RSAW Royal Society of Architects in Wales Cymdeithas Frenhinol Penseiri yng Nghymru Bute Building, King Edward VII Avenue, Cathays Park, Cardiff CF10 3NB T 029 2087 4753/4 F 029 2087 4926 E [email protected] www.architecture-wales.com RIBA North West RENEW Rooms, The Tea Factory 82 Wood Street, Liverpool L1 4DQ T 0151 703 0107 F 0151 703 0108 E [email protected] www.architecture.com/ribanorthwest RIBA South 2A The Stables, Sandford Farm, Woodley, Reading RG5 4SU T 0118 969 8051 F 0118 969 6954 E [email protected] www.architecture.com/ribasouth RIBA South East 17 Upper Grosvenor Road, Tunbridge Wells, Kent TN1 2DU T 01892 515878 F 01892 515904 E [email protected] www.architecture.com/ribasoutheast RIBA South West The Hoe Centre, 161 Notte Street, Plymouth PL1 2AR T 01752 265921 F 01752 663747 E [email protected] www.architecture.com/ribasouthwest 15 17-28 Residential 6/6/06 11:38 am Page 20 Architectural Bespoke Joinery External Doors Sliding Sash Windows Staircases Internal Doors Mouldings Summer Houses Conservatories Visit our website - the-joiners.com Bishopdale Joinery Ryshworth Bridge Crossflatts, Bingley West Yorks BD16 2DX Telephone: (01274) 565323 Fax: (01274) 568294 EMAIL: [email protected] Website: www.mhallidayandsonsltd.co.uk 2nd Floor, Kings House, King Street, Leeds LS1 2HH Tel: 0113 247 1577 Fax: 0113 247 0689 Email: [email protected] Web: www.cardgeotechnics.co.uk Planning and design service for the residential and commerical sectors.

To arrest decay in the vaulting, the aisle roofs have been reinstated for the first time since the Reformation, using traditional materials. Along with the conservation of stonework there has been a programme of enhancements to enable more public access to the Abbey, and provide a sensitive floodlighting scheme. The Laybrothers’ Reredorter, formerly a medieval toilet building, has been converted and extended for use as a Visitor Centre and sensitively conserved to present evidence of the building’s use over time. A concealed modern structure now supports the 17th century barn roof timbers. A section of the Laybrothers’ toilets has been recreated, so visitors can interpret how the building may have looked in the Middle Ages. The sensitive conservation of the wellpreserved ruins was a key aim Public Leeds City Council, in conjunction with a range of specialist consultants and contractors, led by Purcell Miller Tritton, has completed an ambitious programme of conservation and improvement to this fine Cistercian Abbey and its surrounding parkland, which is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The aim of the work is to preserve the beautiful ruins and parkland for present and future generations of Leeds to enjoy. Works were funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and the City Council.
