The 2011 RIBA Stirling Prize judges will now visit each of the
six shortlisted buildings and judge them on a range of criteria
including design vision, innovation and originality, capacity to
stimulate engage and delight occupants and visitors, accessibility
and sustainability, how fit the building is for its purpose and the
level of client satisfaction and then they will meet for a final
time on the day of the presentation to pick the winner.
The winner will be announced at the RIBA Stirling Prize dinner
on Saturday 1 October 2011, and broadcast on a special edition of
BBC TWO's The Culture Show, presented by Kevin McCloud. This year's
venue is Magna Science and Adventure Centre in Rotherham, winner of
the 2001 RIBA Stirling Prize.
Benchmark would like to wish all the above practices the best of
luck and look forward to seeing who is crowned the 2011 winner.
