Chapman Taylor

Chapman Taylor is an international firm of architects, designers and masterplanners operating from 16 offices in 12 countries. Headquartered in London and established in 1959,[1] it has won a number of awards; including those that recognise its contribution to sustainable practices and its commitment to local markets.[2] In 2008, Chapman Taylor completed 27 projects in 11 countries.[3] In the UK, four of those new schemes won five awards from the British Council of Shopping Centres.[4]

Drake Circus Shopping Centre (Plymouth, U.K.).
SouthGate (Bath, U.K.).
H2O mall (Rivas-Vaciamadrid, Spain).

One scheme, Drake Circus Shopping Centre in Plymouth, was nominated for and won the inaugural Carbuncle Cup, a sarcastic response to the coveted Stirling Prize. It was lauded as "how bad architecture and bad planning can combine to produce something truly awful".[5]

In Bath, there was concern that a steel-framed faux-Georgian shopping centre would lose the city its UNESCO World Heritage status.[6] However in 2010, the centre was awarded "Best Building in a Georgian context" by The Georgian Group, acclaiming: "The materials, detailing, morphology and urban design combine to form a highly satisfying composition."[7]
