FAITH MUSEUM - GUBBIO PRIZE 2024

NOVEMBER 2024

Faith Museum - Gubbio Prize 2024

The Auckland Castle, Tower and Faith Museum received an Honourable Mention in the European Category of the Gubbio Prize 2024.

The jury praised the project “For its capacity to enrich the village through a new configuration of public spaces and through the insertion of a sophisticated and bold contemporary architecture, which integrates harmoniously into the historical context without falling into mere mimicry”.

The Gubbio Prize is Italy's most prestigious award for projects undertaken within sensitive historic and heritage settings. The prize is awarded every three years by the National Association of Historic-Artistic Centers ANCSA.

The project was a collaboration between Niall McLaughlin Architects and Purcell. Associate Anne Schroell travelled to Gubbio to receive the award and present the project.

The Tapestry Building has received reserved matters approval by the London Borough of Camden in a unanimous vote. The building contains residential dwellings, commercial premises, multi-storey car park and the site-wide energy centre.

The energy centre will meet the majority of the heating and power demands for the whole regeneration site. The leader of Camden Council said of the scheme’s approval, “We welcome the continued commitment to helping create a sustainable future environment for King’s Cross.”
