The Royal College of Physicians building was designed in 1959 and completed in 1964 by the late Sir Denys Lasdun. The building is a modernist masterpiece and one of the few buildings of its era to be awarded the accolade of Grade 1 listing in recognition of its architectural importance.
Sir Denys Lasdun, “regarded as one of the greatest architects of the 20th century”, was awarded the 1992 Trustees’ Medal of the Royal Institute of British Architects in recognition of his achievements at the College. This medal was awarded to the designer of a building considered to be “the best architecture of its time anywhere in the world”.
