National Urban Design Awards 2019

摘要

Over the years, the Urban Design Group has managed to choose interesting venues for its annual awards event, and this year was no exception. Until a few years ago the Tab Centre was a derelict Victorian church in the middle of a site ripe for development. Some members attending this event as well as this writer remembered that the site was used as the basis of a project for the University of Westminster Master's in Urban Design course. Since then the site has been redeveloped and the listed Grade Ⅱ church refurbished by Matthew Lloyd Architects, and converted into a mixed use building with offices leased to charities, and what would have been the nave used for various events, the UDG awards one in this case. The space is attractive and very suitable, with the balcony available for drinks and the lower level for the dinner and presentations.
