The Stephen Lawrence Prize is sponsored by the Goldschmied Foundation and is intended to encourage fresh talent working with a budget of under £1 million.
The award is judged by architect Marco Goldschmied and Doreen Lawrence OBE, mother of the teenager who was setting out on the road to becoming an architect when he was murdered in 1993. The 2006 winner was Wrap House by Alison Brooks Architects and the 2007 winner was Wooda by David Sheppard Architects.
