Stirling Prize 2005 Winner



Stirling Prize - 2005

Scottish Parliament wins - 16 Oct 2005

RIAS announced 27.07.05 that the Scottish Parliament Building - as expected - is shortlisted for the Stirling Prize


RIBA Stirling Prize : 2005


Shortlist - Buildings:

Bennetts Associates: Brighton Library
EMBT/RMJM: Scottish Parliament
Zaha Hadid Architects: BMW Central Building in Leipzig
Foster and Partners: McLaren Technology Centre
O'Donnell + Tuomey: Lewis Gluckman Gallery in Cork
Alsop Design: Fawood Children's Centre

Early favourites vary wildly: the AJ state Bennetts are outsiders whilst BD state Bennetts' library is the bookies favourite. In fact Readabet's initial odds show it equal with Foster's McLaren building. No mention of the Scottish Parliament, except BD's Ellis Woodman who tips it for the Prize. Confused?!

PR re Stirling Prize 2005

The early favourites appear to be Zaha Hadid's almost universally praised BMW
building and the infinitely more controversial Scottish Parliament, while
Alsop's nursery and the Bennetts' PFI library are probably the outsiders.

This leaves O'Donnell + Tuomey's Gallery in Cork and the McLaren Offices by
Foster and Partners. Both would certainly be acclaimed as winners with the Irish scheme celebrated for its classy architecture and the Foster & Partners project backed by the office specialists.
The winner will be announced at an awards night held in Benson and Forsyth's
National Museum of Scotland extension on 15 October.

The judging panel for the Stirling Prize included AJ editor Isabel Allen,
engineer Max Fordham, architect Piers Gough, RIBA president Jack Pringle and
journalist Joan Bakewell.
