Hepworth Gallery Wakefield was designed by architect David Chipperfield to house the Wakefield Permanent Art Collection, opening in 2011. Chipperfield won an architectural design competition organised by RIBA and his outstanding design was shortlisted for the Stirling prize in 2012.

The building lures you in across an elegant bridge. Then you are presented with ten trapezoidal blocks, each housing galleries, auditoriums, cafe's and other visitor facilities. The brutalist design is one of the highlights of British architecture in last decade.

Dimensions: 153 x 45 x 64mm
Materials: Plaster, etched brass, felt lined

In 2003 Wakefield Council launched an international RIBA competition to find an architect to design the new art gallery for Wakefield. The competition led to the selection of David Chipperfield Architects.When designing The Hepworth Wakefield, David Chipperfield Architects responded imaginatively to the gallery’s waterfront setting and industrial heritage of the site. The gallery is able to source the majority of its heating and cooling from the river’s flow. The building’s façades have been constructed of pigmented concrete which was created in-situ. This gives the building a sculptural appearance, which echoes the shapes and forms in many of Barbara Hepworth’s sculptures.
