Buildings of the year 2012

"Buildings of the Year 2012 brings together all the Royal Institute of British Architects' award-winners, from regional awards to the RIBA Stirling Prize itself, won for the first time by Stanton Williams for their Sainsbury Laboratory in Cambridge. It also takes in awards given within and beyond the boundaries of the European Union, including the RIBA Lubetkin Prize, won by Wilkinson Eyre for their 103-storey convention centre in Guangzhou, China. And it reveals the specialist prizes for small projects, houses and the best client. The guide includes awards for architects as well as for architecture, from the Royal Gold Medal awarded to octogenarian Dutch architect Herman Hertzberger, to the student medals awarded to those just starting out in the profession."--Back cover.
