PM Awards 2008



The Shetland Museum and Archives in Lerwick by BDP is one of 21 UK projects shortlisted.
Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, said: "Good design in building matters. It helps to foster civic pride, it fires the imagination, and it's something we're very good at in this country. The public buildings and projects on this year's shortlist are excellent examples of this. I am especially pleased to see the emphasis on sustainable design, regeneration and bringing life into communities shown by this year's selection."
