Scottish Civic Trust - Awards PR 3 Aug 2005
Community groups asked to identify best new buildings for 2006 Civic
Trust Awards. The Civic Trust, the leading urban charity which campaigns
for a better built environment, is asking community groups to identify
the best new buildings in the UK's cities to go forward for a Civic Trust
Award.
The awards scheme is widely recognised as the largest and most comprehensive
of its kind in Europe. Glasgow City Council and other local authorities
from around the UK work in partnership with the Trust to organise the
project entries from their own areas.
For Glasgow, the awards team is calling for entries for building projects,
regeneration schemes, public art, urban design - anything that has made
an impact on the local environment - built in the city between 1 January,
2003 and 30 September, 2005.
Since the Civic Trust Awards began in 1959 more than 50,000 buildings
have been recognised not only for their architectural style but also for
their contribution to the fabric of the local community. Every year the
Awards are judged by the people really in the know - community representatives.
These local advisors canvas local opinion and judge what the building
means to its community. Architects, planners and access advisors provide
the technical and professional support.
Vivienne Newlands, Civic Trust Awards Manager, said: "Judging for the
Civic Trust Awards relies on examining the context - it is particular
to each place and each building. Every new development could be a winner,
if it is high quality design and also has a positive community impact."
The deadline for entries is Fri 16 Sep 2005 and anyone can enter a project
with the owner's and occupier's permission. More info: www.civictrust.org.uk/ctawards
