Stirling Prize

摘要

If there is anywhere where corks should be popping at the announcement of this year's Stirling Prize shortlist, it is University College Dublin (UCD). It's an architectural school I know and admire, and it was the training ground for three of the shortlisted practices - Shelley McNamara and Yvonne Farrell of Grafton Architects, Niall McLaughlin, and Roisin Heneghan. And this is after UCD graduates and tutors Sheila O'Donnell and John Tuomey were Stirling-shortlisted in the previous two years, and could be yet again for their forthcoming LSE student building.
