Surface Architects won the RIBA award in 2008 for their graphic revival of a building they designed and built for Birkbeck College’s Centre for Film & Media in Gordon Square, London. The project was completed in February of 2007 for with a budget of £1.15 M for the project. “The college had a particular wish for the Centre to engender a sense of community, even commerciality, and give a strong sense of visual identity – and the architect has interpreted this brief in a wonderfully imaginative and spatially inventive way.”
