Exterior and interior architecture of the  stunning Hepworth Wakefield by architect David Chipperfield. The purpose built gallery was constructed in 2011.

Consisting of ten trapezoidal blocks, the gallery cost £35 million to build. A neo-brutalist aesthetic, the exterior of the building is clad with self-compacting pigmented concrete made on type (a first in the UK).

Inside, the upper galleries are lit naturally by large windows in the roof space.

The Hepworth Wakefield was named Regional Building of the Year 2012 by the Royal Institute of British Architects.
