Hoy 20 de Mayo, han sido anunciados los ganadores del premio RIBA 2010, el cual se ha transformado prácticamente en el reflejo de aquellos edificios que representan un aporte a la Arquitectura Británica. Este año han sido premiadas 102 obras de las cuales 98 están dentro de UK y solo 9 en el resto de la Unión Europea.
En relación a los premios anteriores, este año destaca un aumento en los edificios educacionales y además la inclusión de una nueva categoría de “espacios públicos”, la que incluye monumentos, pabellones, etc. Además, aparte de las grandes firmas que resultaron premiadas, existe un muy destacable número que corresponde a oficinas jóvenes y más pequeñas que por primera vez están recibiendo este reconocimiento.
Un punto aparte al que hace mención la RIBA tiene que ver con el estado de la economía. En estos 45 años que se ha entregado el premio, este es el período de recesión más profundo y este año refleja que a pesar de que la situación actual es difícil, la calidad en la producción arquitectónica no ha decaído.
A continuación la lista de los 102 premiados.
