Their British Embassy in Warsaw has just completed and is a step up in scale from earlier projects, such as the Lisson Gallery in London. Tony Fretton's key projects in my view are his powerful Chelsea house and restrained Faith house in Dorset. Despite its humble scale the London Maggie's Centre brings great comfort and help to those suffering from cancer. Whilst I firmly believe the state should be providing this quality of health provision and building I fully support Maggie's Centres for not only filling the void with sensitive support but for commissioning a series of really good architects. This building has obvious quality - simple articulated forms, red-coloured rendered walls providing warmth and solidity. it is one of an increasingly long list of Maggies Centres by celebrated architects. The Client is surely due a special award. Previous Stirling Prize controversies have included whether a bridge should win an 'Architecture Prize' (the Gateshead Bridge went on to win in 2002) and in 2009 there have been rumblings about a 'shopping centre' being shortlisted. The Liverpool ONE masterplan is a welcome addition in that it is not a stand-alone building, nor private - it is used by thousands of people every hour and my feedback tells me it is well-liked by the people of Liverpool. The project is instrumental in making the city centre work and is a major and successful intervention that eschews look-at-me styling. The Times describes the 2009 shortlist as "more subdued than in recent years". Tony Chapman, RIBA head of awards, said: “It is possibly quieter than in some years [but] we would call this a pretty vintage year.” BD's Ellis Woodman boldly states "Kentish Town Health Centre and the Fuglsang Kunstmuseum are surely the only real contenders", describing Bodegas Protos as "just a big roof" and maintaining some of the Liverpool One buildings are "grisly".
