2021 Winners Announcement Presentation
Posted on 5th March 2021
The Civic Trust Awards is in a unique position having been able to deliver the judging programme over summer, with restrictions eased and with the support of applicants and our wonderful assessors.
Remarkably, we were still able to deliver the 2021 application round, albeit in a slightly adapted fashion, accounting for social distancing and the many access restrictions to certain buildings. Applicants and building users were extremely accommodating to our judges visits and for that support and flexibility, we are extremely grateful.
It is the agile nature of the Civic Trust Awards that has proven to be its greatest asset and it is with great pride that we can claim to be the only architectural awards scheme in the UK that has continued without interruption, despite the debilitating restrictions placed on the entire Country.
Thank you to sponsors Derwent London for their long-standing sponsorship of the Sustainability Award and our appreciation also goes to the National Judging Panels for their support and to the Members whose continual support helps to underpin the Awards scheme as we move forward.
There are four Special Awards recipients:
- National Panel Special Award - Selected by National Panel members as their favourite scheme from this year’s Award winning projects - Aberdeen Art Gallery, Aberdeen, Scotland by Hoskins Architects for Aberdeen City Council.
