Jennifer Frewen of Takero Shimazaki Architects has been awarded the MJ Long Award for Excellence in Practice for her work leading the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) London’s new global headquarters scheme from concept to completion.
Working within the existing envelope, Frewen and her team reimagined the building’s footprint as a continuation of the surrounding city, with studios and study spaces connected through a network of interior “streets” and “town squares”. Internal windows with views into the studio ensure that dance enlivens the entire building.
“What’s remarkable is how comprehensive and impressive Frewen’s practice is. When she talks about each project, you can really feel the heart of them: she’s clearly in complete control of everything she touches. Deep understanding. Frewen is one of those insightful, sensitive leaders. Those who listen and communicate well almost always do it in secret – a person is so busy doing their job that they don’t get a chance to step back Look what you achieved,” the judges said.
