RIBA announces Stirling Prize 2019 shortlist
An experimental cork house, Grimshaw's London Bridge Station, and Feilden Fowles Architects' visitor centre at Yorkshire Sculpture Park are among the projects shortlisted for this year's Stirling Prize.
The Royal Institute of British Architects has announced the six finalists vying for the accolade, which is awarded annually to the building judged to have made the greatest contribution to British architecture.
This year's shortlisted projects are: The Macallan Distillery by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, Nevill Holt Opera by Witherford Watson Mann Architects, Cork House by Matthew Barnett Howland with Dido Milne and Oliver Wilton, London Bridge Station by Grimshaw, Goldsmith Street housing by Mikhail Riches and Cathy Hawley, and The Weston by Feilden Fowles Architects.

"The RIBA Stirling Prize shortlist epitomises the enviable global reputation of UK architecture," said RIBA president Ben Derbyshire.
"These six buildings could hardly be more diverse in typology and scale ? from a rustic stable block-turned- theatre to a vast national railway station," he continued.
"But what they have in common ? ground-breaking innovation, extraordinary creativity and the highest quality materials and detailing ? sets them apart, rightfully earning them a chance to win the highest accolade in architecture."
