Sir David Adjaye named as RIBA Stirling Prize 2018 jury chair
Renowned British architect Sir David Adjaye has been named jury chair for the 2018 Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Stirling Prize.
Adjaye, whose recent endeavours include SPYSCAPE – an interactive spy museum in New York – will head the panel deciding the award winner, with other judges including RIBA president Ben Derbyshire, 2017 RIBA Stirling Prize winner Alex de Rijke and Woman of the World Festival founder Jude Kelly.
"This year’s shortlist demonstrates sensitive and engaged thinking across a wide range of projects – from cemeteries to nurseries and from galleries to workspaces," said Adjaye.
The prize, which awards the best new British Building annually, features Jamie Fobert Architects’ New Tate St Ives among its six nominees.
The contest winner will be announced in London on 10 October 2018.
