<strong>Architect</strong>s, Assemble<br />

Assemble, a five-year-old London-based design collaborative made up of 18 young architects, artists, and designers, won the<br />

2<strong>01</strong>5 Turner Prize. The annual prize, which comes with £25,000 bestowed by the Tate Gallery, has recognized British visual<br />

artists under the age of 50 since 1984. This year, however, is momentous on two fronts: It is the first time a group of architects<br />

and designers have won and it is only the second time the prize has gone to more than one person. The Brutalist Playground<br />

installation (above) ran last summer in the gallery of the Royal Institute of British <strong>Architect</strong>s in London. —chelsea blahut<br />
