A pioneering health centre in London, an imposing winery in Spain, an elegant museum in Denmark and a mixed-use scheme residential scheme contributing to the regeneration of Liverpool were among the six building projects which made it onto this year's shortlist for the RIBA Stirling Prize 2009 in association with The Architects' Journal and Crystal CG.
The prize is awarded to the architects of the building that has made the greatest contribution to British architecture in the past year.
The RIBA Stirling Prize jury visited all six shortlisted buildings and then met for a final time on the day of the presentation to pick the winner. This year, the jury includes Benedetta Tagliabue – architect, Sir John Sorrell – Chair of CABE and Thomas Heatherwick – designer.
The winner of the RIBA Stirling Prize in association with The Architects' Journal and Crystal CG was announced at Old Billingsgate, London on Saturday 17 October 2009, and broadcast live on Channel 4.
