Lord's Media Centre, Media center building at Lord's Cricket Ground, London, England

The white aluminum structure rises 15 meters above ground level with a glass facade designed to minimize glare for media personnel viewing cricket matches.

The Media Centre, completed in 1999, received the RIBA Stirling architecture prize for its innovative use of aluminum semi-monocoque construction methods.

The lower level of the building houses more than 100 journalists in four stepped tiers of desks, supporting international cricket match coverage.

The structure includes two concrete stair towers, a lift, hospitality boxes, a restaurant, and specialized areas for photographers and broadcasting equipment.

British shipbuilding techniques and Dutch engineering expertise combined to create the first all-aluminum building of its type in architectural history.
