Battersea Arts Centre has appeared in round ups of the best architecture of 2018 in the Guardian and Frieze Magazine. Olly Wainwright in the Guardian has BAC in his top 10 of the year, saying “architects Haworth Tompkins were given the chance to craft one of London’s most atmospheric performance spaces from the charred carcass.

The firm’s work on the Grand Hall is a masterful combination of conservation and reconstruction”. Read the full article here.
