Sixty three new buildings across the UK and the EU have been rewarded with RIBA Awards for their high architectural standards and their contribution to their local environment. Projects selected for their design excellence range in size and use from 30 St Mary Axe (Swiss Re Tower) in London to a steel maze in the Kielder Forest Park in Northumberland. Projects by Frank Gehry, Studio Daniel Libeskind and Foster and Partners are amongst the winners. The awards were announced at a special dinner in London in the run up to Architecture Week 2004 (18-27 June).
The 63 winners will form the long-list for the RIBA Stirling Prize in association with The Architects’ Journal , which Channel 4 will broadcast for the fifth year running on Channel 4 on Saturday 16 October.
During the RIBA Awards event, six additional buildings from around the world received an RIBA Worldwide Award. These new awards, in association with The Architectural Review, recognised significant international projects by practices including Zaha Hadid Architects, Richard Rogers Partnership and Alsop Architects.
