The Patera Prototype, recognized as a significant piece of high-tech architecture from the 1980s, is featured in the Twentieth Century Society's (C20) 2025 Risk List, highlighting structures at risk of being lost due to neglect or demolition. Constructed in 1982 by Michael Hopkins Associates, it was created to be transportable and replicable, embodying the principles of high-tech architecture with visible structural elements. The Patera is one of only two surviving prototypes, emphasizing its architectural importance as the sole entry from London on the list, urging advocates to save this unique design from potential future loss.
The Patera Prototype is a significant example of high-tech architecture from the 1980s, designed to be flexible and transportable but is now at risk from neglect.
C20's 2025 Risk List aims to call attention to outstanding twentieth and twenty-first century buildings in the UK that face threats of demolition or dereliction.
