RIBA Stirling Prize 2023 winner: John Morden Centre

John Morden Centre by Mæ has been announced as the RIBA's Stirling Prize 2023 winner.
Founded in 1695, Morden College is a charity dedicated to providing older people in need with a home for life, including the provision of residential and nursing care. Residents live on the Grade I-listed college site in Blackheath, which is attributed to English architect Sir Christopher Wren. The John Morden Centre is a daycare centre housing social and medical facilities for all residents.
The brief was to bring functions from across the college into a single building. These include a medical centre, café, lounges and administrative offices. Mae’s concept was to provide a meandering timber ‘spine’ that stitches together a series of brick ‘pavilions’ housing the various care and enrichment programmes.
The RIBA Stirling Prize is the UK's most prestigious architecture award given to the architect of the building thought to be the most significant of the year for the evolution of architecture and the built environment.
