  The Royal Institute of British Architects' awards celebrate a range of excellent current architecture throughout Britain and continental Europe. This book - the fifth in the series and the first in a larger format - again describes and illustrates all winners, chosen after a rigorous and exhaustive judging process. It includes the category awards (housing; commercial; sport and leisure; civic and community; health; education; conservation), the Client of the Year Award - recognition of the importance of the client's role in the creation of good buildings - and The Stephen Lawrence Award for a building costing less than [pound]500,000, named in honour of the murdered black teenager who wanted to train as an architect. Finally, it includes the winner of The Stirling Prize, the UK's richest and most prestigious award.
