Assemble - first architectural practice - to be nominated for the Turner Prize

For the first time in the Turner Prize history an architectural practices' work is considered art, and hence Assemble is nomiated this year.

"Assemble have never claimed to be artists – and their shortlisting has no doubt raised some eyebrows in the rarified realms of the gallery world – but in both their approach to materials and the collaborative process by which their projects are made, their work transcends the norms of conventional architectural practice."Oliver Wainwright
