Hopkins triumphs in Twickenham Riverside contest

摘要

Hopkins has beaten a strong shortlist to land the job of redesigning Twickenham Riverside. The architect beat Haworth Tompkins, Cullinan Studio, Allies & Morrison and Baynes and Mitchell Architects with Outpost. Hopkins is the second architect to be appointed to the Thameside project in south-west London – after Francis Terry was chosen in 2016 but then dropped after a campaign by residents against his Regency-style proposals. It was Terry's first competition win after splitting from father Quinlan Terry's practice, which also entered. Quinlan Terry is the architect of neighbouring Richmond Riverside which was opened by the Queen in 1988, sparking anger from modernists who decried it as a pastiche.
