Haworth Tompkins has received a Selinunte Prize, from the AIAC (Italian Association of Architecture and Criticism). Director Chris Fellner attended the annual symposium in Sicily to receive this honour and deliver a lecture on our work in relation to this year’s topic, ‘Regeneration, Renovation, Restart’. Over the course of the festival, eight architectural awards are presented, and Haworth Tompkins have received their only International prize. The jury, led by AIAC president Luigi Prestinenza Puglisi, selected HT for ‘their elegant yet functional approach and attention to context. For their use of materials, interpreted in creative, innovative, and sustainable ways capable of generating design solutions endowed with intelligence, especially when applied to cultural regeneration projects such as schools and theatres. And finally, for always placing people at the centre: their collaborators to whom they always give a voice, but also - and above all - everyone who will enjoy and use their spaces, recognising the social purpose of architecture.’ Image by Moreno Maggi - courtesy AIAC Architects meet in Selinunte 2022

Haworth Tompkins is working with lead architects and masterplanners Maccreanor Lavington alongside Sergison Bates, Architecture Doing Place and East on the regeneration of the Aylesbury Estate in Southwark. The vast 28.5 hectare estate, one of Europe's largest, is being regenerated over a 30-year programme, providing 3500 new homes, of which over 50% will be affordable and prioritised for existing and former Aylesbury Estate residents.
Our appointment, through the Notting Hill Genesis Framework, delivers over 200 homes as part of Phase 2B, alongside a new neighbourhood park, with play areas, landscaping, and spaces for community use. Our plot includes a 25 Storey tower designed to maximise dual aspect homes.
Cllr Helen Dennis, Cabinet Member for New Homes and Sustainable Development, said: “I’m delighted to see these new high-quality, safe, and warm homes given the green light to go ahead on the Aylesbury Estate. It is vital that the estate renewal continues to progress, delivering affordable, decent housing and green spaces for Southwark residents, including existing Aylesbury residents and those on our housing waiting list."
