UK - London - Newport Street Gallery - Spiral 02_DSC3720
The Caruso St John designed Newport Street Gallery is I'm sure delighted to find itself on this years RIBA Stirling shortlist. Having been very impressed when I visited it's good to see such a refined, restrained building amongst it's more showier competitors.
Regular visitors to my photostream will not surprised to hear that I've more spiral stair shots as this one waiting for upload.........

From Wikipedia : "In 2010, Hirst was among the unsuccessful bidders to take over the Magazine Building, a 19th-century structure in Kensington Gardens, which reopened in 2013 as the Serpentine Sackler Gallery after its conversion by Zaha Hadid. In March 2012, he outlined plans to open a gallery in Vauxhall, London specifically designed to exhibit his personal collection, which includes five pieces by Francis Bacon. Located in a former theater carpentry and scenery production workshops redesigned by Caruso St John, the space runs the length of Newport Street in Vauxhall and will include six galleries, office space and a restaurant. It is due to open in October 2015.
Commenting on his collection, Hirst has said "As a human being, as you go through life, you just do collect. It was that sort of entropic collecting that I found myself interested in, just amassing stuff while you’re alive.""
