RIBA Awards
Debate rumbles on re inclusion of a 'Singing Ringing Tree' in Burnley but exclusion of Zaha Hadid's first UK building. Gareth Hoskins wins but shortlisted Richard Murphy and Malcolm Fraser Architects don't make RIBA Awards short shortlist.
Compare Edinburgh and Cork: Edinburgh gained no RIBA National Awards yet Cork, which isn’t even in Britain of course, gains 3 from the Royal Institute of British Architects. Edinburgh’s population is around 449,000. Cork’s population? Just 123,000. You could draw many conclusions from this, that Scotland is under-performing or that the RIBA Awards system needs changing, or you could of course simply (and logically) say evaluate this over many years, a snapshot can be misleading. But, with a new system in place that meant Maggies Fife didn’t even make the starting line (whatever you think about it) it is right to raise questions.
