Civic Trust Awards
From 333 national and international entries, 57 projects have been recognised by the prestigious Civic Trust Awards at a ceremony held at the People’s History Museum in Manchester. Awards were presented to the best new build, conservation, restoration and public realm by Civic Trust Awards Patron, architect and TV presenter George Clarke.
In total, 27 Awards were given, including 7 projects that were chosen to receive a Special Award, demonstrating outstanding credentials in a specific area.
Norwich Cathedral Visitors Centre by Hopkins Architects picked up the ‘Michel Middleton Special Award’, a memorial to the former Civic Trust Director given to a restoration project or new build within a conservation area.
The new inner city destination Stonebridge Hillside Hub in Brent by Edward Cullinan Architects received the ‘Special Award for Community Impact and Engagement’. This is presented to a scheme that has demonstrated how successful community buy-in can help deliver the highest standards of design whilst meeting the needs of local people.
The West Centre in Glasgow by Anderson Bell Christie which has brought together local health, social and voluntary services for the children, young people and families of West Glasgow, was awarded the ‘Special Award for Inclusive Design’, sponsored by the National Register of Access Consultants (NRAC).
The fiercely contested ‘Special Award for Scotland’ went to the refurbishment of Glasgow’s old fish market The Briggait by Wasps Studios/Nicoll Russell Studios.The Special Award for Scotland is supported by Glasgow City Council and The City of Edinburgh Council - the partnership approach adopted by these Authorities for the second year continues to set a benchmark for the Awards by promoting and recognising some of the excellent projects being designed and constructed. Successful entries from all regions of Scotland were eligible to win the Special Award and The Briggait was unanimously selected by the Civic Trust Awards National Panel as the winning recipient.
The Special Award for Restoration & Refurbishment was given to the Grade ‘A’ listed McManus Galleries in Dundee, judged to be sympathetic to its environment whilst providing a quality and innovative solution.
The Special Award for Sustainability went to the stunning addition to the V&A Museum in South Kensington, Medieval & Renaissance Galleries by MUMA
The Civic Trust Awards National Panel selected the visitor centre at Tyne Cot Cemetery in Zonnebeke, Belgium by Govaert & Vanhoutte Architectenburo as their favourite Award winner in 2011.
Civic Trust Awards Managing Director, Malcolm Hankey said “increased financial pressures on all aspects of the industry have once again dominated the last 12 months, but the Civic Trust Awards continue to encourage design excellence and promote the concept of positive civic contribution. 333 projects were submitted for consideration, including some intriguing international entries, three of which were presented with an Award. I would like to congratulate all of this year’s winners on their much deserved success.”
In addition to the 27 Awards, 24 projects received a Commendation and 6 schemes presented with a Community Recognition for providing a positive social, cultural, environmental or economic benefit to the local community.
