The building envelope reconsidered - the Cork House

The project has received widespread attention through publications in professional and academic journals, as well as videos. Notably, it has won several awards from the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), claimed the Stephen Lawrence Prize and was named among the six finalists for the Stirling Prize, the highest honour in British architecture. The article ‘Cork Construction Kit’, in which Oliver Wilton and Matthew Barnett Howland outline the research conducted into the construction system, was awarded the RIBA President’s Award for Research.

The event will take the form of a screening followed by a discussion, during which Oliver Wilton will present the project before engaging with the audience and answering their questions.
