The Winners

15 Oct 2004

Two Manchester projects picked up the top awards at this year’s Roses Design Awards. Manchester City Stadium by Arup won the Architecture Grand Prix, while John McAslan’s Faculty of Law building at Manchester Metropolitan University got the Chairman’s Award.

IF the results of this year’s Roses Design Awards tell a story, it is that Manchester’s investment in regeneration is paying off. The Architecture Grand Prix was won by Arup’s Manchester City Stadium, built for the 2002 Commonwealth Games and now home to Manchester City FC. Other city winners were John McAslan’s MMU Faculty of Law, which got the Chairman’s Award and a Bronze in the Best Commercial category, and Stephenson Bell’s Hacienda, which won a Silver Award in the Best Housing category. All three are impressive and significant additions to the fabric of the city.

Liverpool was represented by a Silver award in the Best Regeneration category for Union North’s Toxteth TV, and Preston by two Silver awards for Studio BAAD’s TFL International Headquarters in the Best Commercial and Best Low Budget categories. Scotland had just one award - a Bronze for The Drum, a housing project in Bo’Ness by Malcolm Fraser Architects.
