Scottish Parliament building on long-list for 10th anniversary RIBA
Stirling Prize
The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) tonight celebrated
Scottish architecture by giving RIBA Awards to three buildings across
the country.
Projects honoured range in size and use from an office building in
Glasgow with an innovative LED lighting system incorporated into its
glass cladding which permits the exterior to go through colour changes;
to affordable housing at Rothesay on the Isle of Bute with impressive
sustainability built in; to the major achievement of the Scottish
Parliament Building. The jury said of the Scottish Parliament Building:
It is a remarkable architectural statement
The list of
admirable achievements in the building is a long one and the ability
of both the design and construction teams to realise a building of
this complexity is truly remarkable.
All three buildings are honoured for their excellence in design quality
and their contribution to the local environment. The awards were announced
this evening,
17 June, at a dinner in London at the Hilton Hotel to mark the start
of Architecture Week 2005 (17-26 June).
All three buildings will be competing with the other RIBA Award winners
for the prestigious RIBA Stirling
Prize in association with The Architects Journal which is
presented for the 10th time this year. In total, 71 new buildings
across the UK and EU have received RIBA Awards. These will form the
longlist for The RIBA Stirling Prize in association with The Architects
Journal, which Channel 4 will televise for the sixth year running
on 15 October, presented live by Kevin McCloud.
The three RIBA Award-winning buildings in Scotland are:
AChrannag,
Rothesay, Isle of Bute - G. Deveci Chartered Architect
Sentinel
Office Development, Glasgow - Gordon Murray Alan Dunlop Architects
Scottish
Parliament Building, Edinburgh - EMBT / RMJM Ltd
Speaking at the awards dinner RIBA President George Ferguson said:
The RIBA Awards process has come up trumps again, recognising
a remarkable selection of buildings from almost every sector. I am
particularly delighted to see a record number of buildings designed
for children, including three ground-breaking nurseries, two highly
innovative nursery/children's centres and an unusual and highly popular
playground. There is, I am pleased to say, a greater recognition for
conservation with the best examples being recognized by RIBA Conservation
Awards: the Derngate house by Rennie
Mackintosh, the Isokon apartments in Hampstead and the fine transformation
of the Peter Jones store on Sloane Square. It is so clear that good
architecture impacts on people's lives, and these awards are a vitally
important part of the continuous process of raising standards. We
all look forward to seeing how this great range of buildings fares
in the RIBA Stirling Prize stakes, to be televised live on Channel
4 in October. It is quite clear that it will be another thrilling
year.
Jonathan Stock, Publishing Director of The Architects Journal
added:
The AJ is committed to promoting good architecture. As the UK's
premiere award for architecture, the RIBA Stirling Prize, enters its
10th anniversary year, we are delighted to continue our support for
the RIBA Awards, and the RIBA Stirling Prize itself. The awards have
been critical in setting an international benchmark for design quality
that is respected the world over."
The shortlist for the 10th anniversary RIBA Stirling Prize in association
with
The Architects Journal will be announced on 9 September 2005.
The RIBA Awards and RIBA Stirling Prize are managed by the RIBA Trust.
The RIBA Trust manages the cultural assets of the Royal Institute
of British Architects and delivers a public programme of awards, exhibitions,
lectures and other events throughout the year.
The RIBA Award-winning buildings will be eligible for the following
prizes which will be announced alongside The RIBA Stirling Prize in
association with
The Architects Journal on 15 October 2005:
The Stephen Lawrence Prize (Sponsored by the Marco Goldschmied Foundation)
for buildings with a construction budget under £500,000.
This prize rewards the best examples of smaller projects which are
the mainstay of the profession. £5,000 will continue to go to the
winning architect and £10,000 will fund the Stephen Lawrence Scholarship
at the Architectural Association. This will enable a single student
to study at the AA for a full year. The £5000 increase makes
it second only to the Stirling Prize as the most valuable award in
British Architecture.
The RIBA/Arts Council England Client of the Year Award - to honour
the key role that a good client plays in the creation of fine architecture.
The prize is a work of art worth £5,000.
The RIBA Sustainability Award rewarding the building which
demonstrates most elegantly and durably the principles of sustainable
architecture.
The Crown Estate Conservation Award - rewarding the best work of conservation
which demonstrates successful restoration and/or adaptation of an
architecturally significant building.
The Architects Journal First Building Award (Sponsored by The
Architects Journal and Robin Ellis Design and Construction)
rewarding the first stand-alone building by a British architect.
The RIBA Inclusive Design Award (in association with the Centre for
Accessible Environments and Allgood plc.) rewarding inclusivity
in building design. The award demonstrates that good design results
in environments that are safe, convenient and enjoyable to use by
people, regardless of disability, age or gender.
The Manser Medal (in association with the Best of British Homes) -
rewarding the best new one-off house. Substantial extensions to existing
houses will also be considered for the prize.
Architecture Week, the annual celebration of contemporary architecture,
takes place from 17-26 June 2005. Many of the RIBA Award-winning buildings
will be open to the public during the week. Over 450 events are taking
place throughout the country. Architecture Week is organised and managed
by Arts Council England and is an Arts Council England and Royal Institute
of British Architects joint initiative, in association with the Architecture
Centre Network.

Speaking at the RIBA Awards dinner RIBA President Paul Hyett said,
'The large number of winners this year is testament to the fact that
our built environment continues to change for the better. It is clear
that those who commission buildings understand and appreciate, more
and more, the benefits that good architecture can bring to them and
the local community. I am particularly delighted to see two primary
schools, a hospital and several social housing schemes on the list
of winners proving that good architecture does not have to be the
preserve of the rich and elite. The inclusion of a waste treatment
plant also illustrates clearly that architecture can 'lift the spirit'
in even the most unpalatable of surroundings!
'We are grateful to Channel 4 for their continuing commitment to architecture
on our television screens. 2003 looks set to be another exciting year
for the RIBA Stirling Prize.'
Paul Finch, Deputy Chairman for the Commission for Architecture and
Built Environment (CABE) and Editorial Director for The Architects’
Journal who spoke at the awards dinner commented, 'The past year has
seen an exceptionally high level of quality of entry for these awards;
this is most welcome, and continuing evidence of improved standards
which the RIBA Awards promote.'
