The Architects' Journal have produced films of the six shortlisted buildings on the lead up to the announcement of this years winner on the 13th October at London's RIBA. The film of the New Library, Magdalene College can be viewed here.
Niall McLaughlin has written an essay for the Architects Journal titled ‘A Lifetime of Renewal’. He explains his view that ‘it should no longer be possible for an architect to finish their education. I propose a more comprehensive model of life-long learning. If practitioners return to education throughout their careers, they will be constantly invigorated and, by extension, so will the schools to which they return’.
