The Stirling Prize is one of the world's most prestigious
architectural awards. Named after Sir James Stirling (1926-1992),
one of Britain's greatest post-war architects, the prize is awarded
annually by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) to the
architects of the building that has made the most significant
contribution in the past year to the evolution of architecture and
the built environment. The list of shortlisted and winning
buildings since the prize began in 1996 - among them such diverse
projects as the Media Centre at Lord's Cricket Ground by Future
Systems; Herzog & de Meuron's Laban dance centre in Deptford,
southeast London; and the Maxxi National Museum, Rome, by Zaha
Hadid Architects - reads like a primer to the very best of
contemporary British architecture both at home and elsewhere in the
European Union. Insightfully written by Tony Chapman, the former
Head of Awards at the RIBA, this book honors all the shortlisted
and winning buildings from the first 20 years of the prize.
Authoritative, detailed commentaries explain how each winning
building was planned and constructed, and reveal the thoughts of
the Stirling jury; commentaries are also included for the
shortlisted buildings from the most recent decade of the prize,
2006-15. Chapman's introduction reviews the history of the award
from its low-key beginnings at a time when Britain was just
emerging from a period of economic recession to the present day,
when the prize, and indeed architecture in general, has a far
greater public profile. Illustrated throughout with photographs,
drawings and plans, The RIBA Stirling Prize 20 is a true
celebration of British architectural talent.
