Stirling Prize 2008 - Change
Revisions made to the Stirling Prize to strengthen the prizes British
connections. Eligibility remains unchanged for all other awards, with
the pyramid structure introduced in 2007 where RIBA Awards
are judged and presented at local level.
For next year the description built or designed in Britain
will have to apply to all schemes shortlisted for the Stirling Prize.
The rule change will restrict eligibility to buildings in the UK designed
by RIBA chartered members and International Fellows, and to buildings
built elsewhere in the EU as long as the practice has its principal office
in the UK.
Tony Chapman, RIBA Head of Awards, says the new pyramid structure has
been judged successful and better reflects the diversity of architectural
practice.
The RIBA Awards reward the best buildings throughout the regions
and nations of the UK, allowing for responses to local contexts of style,
scale and materials, while the RIBA National Awards compare schemes nationally
and by building type. From these a shortlist will be derived for the RIBA
Stirling Prize in association with the Architects' Journal. Chapman
explained.
Another recent change to the awards was the call this year for statements
on the sustainability of buildings, reflecting the institutes climate
change commitments - energy performance statistics, signed by an engineer,
are now highly desirable for all entries and mandatory for
all projects with a contract value over £1m. For 2008, there will
also be a requirement for a statement on how projects address the principles
of inclusive design.
