The RIAS Andrew Doolan Best Building in Scotland Award, supported by the Scottish Government and Mrs Margaret Doolan, has been awarded to two buildings for the first time in its history \u2013 Castlemilk Stables Restoration in Glasgow by Elder and Cannon Architects and the Potterrow Development at the University of Edinburgh by Bennetts Associates.<\/p>\n

Linda Fabiani MSP, Minister for Europe, External Affairs and Culture, announced the result of the UK’s richest architectural prize at 19.00hrs at a reception at the Scottish Parliament on Friday 7th November.<\/p>\n

From eleven shortlisted projects the judges selected three projects which they considered were of particular merit:<\/p>\n

– Castlemilk Stables Restoration, Elder and Cannon Architects
\n– Culloden Battlefield Visitor Centre, Gareth Hoskins Architects
\n– Potterrow Development, Bennetts Associates<\/p>\n

They concluded that this year’s award should go jointly to Castlemilk and Potterrow. The \u00a325,000 prize is shared equally between Elder and Cannon Architects and Bennetts Associates.<\/p>\n

Ms Fabiani said: “That the judges were unable to choose between this year’s joint winners is surely an indication of the tremendous design talent we are nurturing in Scotland. My congratulations go to Elder and Cannon Architects and Bennetts Associates. Both projects, and the short-listed entries, demonstrate how architecture and design can have a positive impact on our lives wherever we are and whatever we are doing.<\/p>\n
