Architecture 98: The Riba Awards

by Tony Chapman

The Royal Institute of British Architects' awards celebrate a range of excellent current architecture throughout Britain and continental Europe. This first book in an annual series describes and illustrates all the winners, chosen after a rigorous and exhaustive judging process. It includes the category awards (housing; commercial; sport and leisure; civic and community; health; education; conservation), the Client of the Year Award - recognition of the importance of the client's role in the creation of good buildings - and The Stephen Lawrence Award for a building costing less than 500,000, named in honor of the murdered black teenager who wanted to train as an architect. Finally, it includes the winner of The Stirling Prize, the UK's richest and most prestigious award.
