11 buildings shortlisted for RIBA Yorkshire awards 2020
RIBA Yorkshire Judging Panel Chair, Peter Cartwright, said:
“This year’s shortlist of potential RIBA award winners in Yorkshire covers a wide range of sectors with many schemes reinventing existing buildings rather than building new, which is great to see. We are very interested in the operation and performance of buildings, as opposed to purely how they look – their beauty must be more than skin deep. We believe awards should go to buildings which will continue to look good for years to come, taking into consideration their low carbon strategy and approach to whole life cost.”
The buildings that have been shortlisted are:
- Barrow House, North East Lincolnshire by ID Architecture
- Doncaster Enterprise Market by Bond Bryan
- Leeds Playhouse by Page\Park Architects
- Manor Ridge Barns, North Yorkshire by TAS Architects
- Nexus, Leeds by Associated Architects
- St Albans Place, Leeds by Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios
- The Old School, North Yorkshire by ArkleBoyce Architects
- The Longhouse, Heslington York by Bramhall Blenkharn
- Thorney Barn, Calderdale by Gagarin Studio
- University of Huddersfield, Barbara Hepworth Building by AHR
- University of Sheffield, Engineering Heartspace by Bond Bryan
This year's awards sponsors for special awards include Michelmersh for the Sustainability Award, Taylor Maxwell for the Project Architect of the Year and Emerging Architect of the Year award and Equitone for the Building of the Year award.
