EAA Awards 2010
The Edinburgh Architectural Association Awards were announced and presented at a drinks reception in the Balmoral Hotel on Thursday 1st April attended by 120 architects and their guests.
Over 40 entries were submitted this year and 12 short-listed projects were visited by the judging panel in February. Awards were made in three categories: Building of the Year; Conservation and Regeneration; and Small Project. The judging panel comprised Robert Black, President of the Edinburgh Architectural Association, Professor Andrew MacMillan OBE, leading landscape architect Eelco Hooftman and Ian Stewart, EAA Council Member. Robert Black said "It is gratifying and encouraging that the profession continues to achieve such a high standard of architecture across a wide variety of building types".
The Building of the Year Award was won by Nicoll Russell Studios for Howden Park Centre in Livingston. The Centre is West Lothian's major arts venue for professional and community groups as well as for functions, conferences and other events. It includes a 300 seat auditorium, rehearsal space and dance studios and is the home of Firefly Youth Theatre. The Building of the Year Award is sponsored by Levolux.
