IN 2019 RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) launched an annual Neave Brown award (NBA) for housing.
Brown was the celebrated architect, who worked in Camden’s architectural department led by the remarkable Sydney Cook, and is responsible for the iconic Alexandra estate.
The 2021 NBA winner is Peter Barber. Barber’s winning entry (one of two shortlisted, the other, 95 Peckham Road, won RIBA London Award 2021) is the McGrath Road estate.
