Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.SIR DENYS LASDUN has been awarded the 1992 Royal Institute of British Architects Trustees' Medal, not for his most famous building - the National Theatre on London's South Bank - but for the earlier Royal College of Physicians in Regent's Park, London.
The jury described the college, now more than 25 years old, as 'an eloquent demonstration of the marriage of old and new in terms of the Classical and Modern traditions'. The college says the building 'surprises and pleases all those who attend the many activities, and is a centre of pilgrimage for numerous students of architecture'.
