"The A650 Bingley Relief Road had some tricky site conditions to negotiate and a history of local opposition. But aside from the technical skills displayed, it shows what an excellent job was done in terms of public consultation – with exhibitions, neighbourhood forums and a project website all playing their part."
"A technically demanding project, which demonstrates how an integrated team can complete sensitive projects on time and budget."
"This road replacement project took an enlightened view of both sustainability and highway life cycle management with significant re-use and recycling of materials and components."
"This scheme is a very good example of a project which uses natural ventilation and light where possible - and even had to cope with nesting swans during the construction period. As befits a building devoted to the study of architecture, it also scored by showing a highly integrated design and construction approach."
"These toilets are an attractive addition to the landscape, allied to a thoughtful response to this building type's requirements for easy ventilation and cleaning. A refreshing, high quality new look at an area which is often neglected."
"This example of part-refurbishment, part-rebuild is an exemplary case of blending old and new. But it is also a perfect example of an education project doing so much to kick-start the urban regeneration of the area in which it sits."
"This is a fine example of a design which is both attractive and makes good sense. The circular form cuts costs in terms of energy and construction - it is a fortress, but one which has not sacrificed looks for safety."
"This scheme has already won a CABE/DfES award for the new and imaginative thinking it has brought to the table in designing facilities in which children can learn and think. Sensitive and subtle, it uses robust materials, but the design makes them appear airy and welcoming."
"The Masshouse Circus Redevelopment was the key to opening up Birmingham 's Eastside redevelopment, replacing the old inner ring-road's concrete collar, elevated structures and uninviting subways. Impressive, intelligent touches also included the use of reinforced earth structures to increase construction speed. Urban regeneration at its best."
"A successful response to the challenges of working in the rail environment with the safety requirements that that entails and a careful, sensitive treatment of a valued listed building."
"This scheme represents a vitally important contribution to the defence of the sea wall in Weymouth . But more than that, it is an excellent example of a contemporary promenade with a 'corniche' atmosphere."
"This repair and conservation project, funded by the lottery, was for three nationally important canal structures and exemplifies how a programme of community activities can support a tricky scheme which had to remain operative throughout. A total transformation."
"Raines Court is an important project in more ways than one. It is high quality residential accommodation, produced under a partnership agreement. But perhaps more importantly it represents a valuable body of research to progress the cause – an experimental project where the lessons learnt have been recorded and taken forward into other projects."
"This is a key element in the ambitious art and architecture regeneration programme for the centre of Coventry. Its strong form helps to tie the ideas together."
"High standards of school design are what we've come to expect from Hampshire County Council and this building was no exception – well conceived and well delivered."
"The Wolfson demonstrates superbly how design for the education sector can be beautiful as well as functional. It has been created to allow for new methods of medical teaching, but also to provide a fitting landmark for Glasgow 's West End in the University's 550th anniversary year."
"This project has taken more than a decade from conception to delivery – but has proved well worth the wait. Trafalgar Square is now a cleaner, safer, and more pleasant place to visit."
