Public Architect of the Year

Edward Cullinan Architects are this year's AYA Public Building Architect of the Year. The jury admired our concern for sustainability and the buildings' relationships to their landscape settings, including two recently completed buildings at the Royal Botanic Gardens of Edinburgh (John Hope Gateway pictured above) and Kew (Herbarium, Library Art and Archives) and the future Maggie's Cancer Caring Centre in Newcastle.

Also this November we have won:

• 3 awards at the Islington Giant Green Business Awards: overall winner, energy and CO2 reduction and sustainable transport categories
• 2 awards for the Stonebridge Hillside Hub; Building Better Healthcare Award for Best Primary Care Design and a Building For Life Award
• the Arts or Entertainment Structures category at the Structural Awards (entered by the Structural Engineers Buro Happold) for the John Hope Gateway.
