Rick Mather Architects win BD Public Building Architect 2009

Rick Mather Architects has been awarded Public Building Architect of the Year in the 2009 Building Design Awards.

"Rick Mather has produced some of the best designs for public buildings and the urban realm in the late 20th and early 21st centuries", said the judges.

"His recent public buildings, including the Towner Gallery, a contemporary art gallery in Eastbourne, the Art & Design Academy for Liverpool John Moores University and the Girls' Boarding House at Stowe School demonstrate his concerns with energy efficiency and a continuing capacity for innovation.

Mather's work at the newly opened Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, with its classic, modern style, has already been hailed as a masterpiece."
