London’s Elizabeth Line has won the UK’s most high profile award for new architecture, the Stirling Prize.
Designed by Grimshaw Architects with a vast coterie of additional designers, engineers and consultants, the 62 mile landmark rail line saw off a six-strong shortlist to scoop the coveted gong. Taking 13 years to build with a budget of £18.9 billion, 26 miles of new tunnels and 41 stations, it is the most ambitious and complex project ever to win the award. How dull!
