Buildings

摘要

Welcome to an explosion of architecture! Two hundred and twenty-six real, completed projects across the length and breadth of the UK, for us an unprecedented visual survey of the best work of RIBA members. Why this, why now? Well, usually in our June issue we'd be bringing you the finalised RIBA regional awards, first step in the process that leads on to national awards, thence to the Stirling Prize shortlist and the various special awards. This year, given that the judging process has yet to be concluded for obvious reasons, we are covering all the shortlisted projects. This being a lot more buildings, places and things than usual, we decided to clear the whole issue for it. As a result we have suspended our normal sections and regular slots for this month only. Though as ever, you can find a very great deal of extra material online at ribaj.com. There, for instance, you will find more photos of all the shortlisted projects we publish here in print.
