September 2004 – Inclusive Design Award Nomination for Chinese Arts Centre

Published by Chinese Arts Centre on September 20, 2004 in General News.

Chinese Arts Centre is one of four finalists in a new RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) award. The prestigious “Inclusive design award” is a national competition to find the UK’s most accessible building. The winner will be announced live on Channel 4 on the evening of 16 October 2004.The award looks at how welcoming the building is and how easy it is for people to use.Sarah Champion, Chinese Arts Centre’s Chief Executive Officer, said of the nomination:

“We are really proud to be a finalist for this award. Through our work we try to encourage people to discover and enjoy the work of Chinese artists. It was really important to us that we made our new centre as accessible as possible. By accessible we mean that everyone should feel welcome and included; whether or not they are a wheel chair user, six years old or a rowdy party of pensioners. When we designed the Centre we spent a lot of time talking to people about what they liked and didn’t like about other public places, all of this information got fed into the resulting building. This nomination is wonderful as it shows that we got it right”.Â
