The RIBA is proud to announce the forthcoming Stirling Prize presented to ‘the architects of the building which has been the most significant for the evolution of architecture in the past year’.
Whilst clearly the work of the shortlist of architects is worthy of distinction, just spare a few thoughts before you vote.
These are invariably the top architects at the top of their profession, in the enviable position of receiveing great briefs from accepting clients. None of these projects seem to be small. Iam sure that their respective fees would have reflected their skills.
Whilst their work should no doubt be rewarded, is a £20k prize really appropriate?
Imagine how the client feels after funding the project, including all the variations, pays the architect, only to hear that the architect receives an extra £20k bonus!
Channel 4 will showcase the buildings on Saturday 14th Oct.
