The Laban Centre for Dance, winner of the Stirling Architecture Prize 2003, by architects Herzog & de Meuron. Translucent polycarbonate cladding in lime, turquoise and magenta with a reflecting reception area. Looked rather like a mirage to me, and doubtless it's an inspiring building for the dance students — at night, light is transmitted out like a lantern. Inside includes a 300-seat theatre and there are also landscaped grounds for outdoor rehearsal and performance. Deptford, London Borough of Lewisham.
