It was a brilliant strategy that intentionally  establishes the magnificence of the architecture.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about the  building, Roger Bright said:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Enormous care has been taken in restoring  the original structure with scholarly reference to historic documentation and  skilful consultation and collaboration with the local planning authority,  English Heritage and other bodies. The establishment and maintenance of such  relationships were critical to progressing the project. The result is that the  Barlow roof now lives up to its billing as the architectural and engineering  focus of the building \u2013 some would say the best example of its kind in UK  railway architecture.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The other shortlisted buildings for the award  were:<\/p>\n<p>1.
