The Scottish Parliament, Edinburgh - EMBT / RMJM Ltd won the Stirling prize. The judge's statement: "It is good that for once the government spent a Lot of money well rather than little inadequately".
Well deserved! great colophon for a great career, the fourth ace of 20th century catalan architecture together with GaudÃ, Sert and Coderch, and the most extraordinary artistic eye and plastic sensibility since Josep Maria Jujol.
maybe zaha's building was an altogether better piece of Architecture, but it wasn't plagued by all the difficulties the scottish parliament had. At last the talent of one of the most gifted Architects of the generation recognized by the general public for a building with a strong social conscience.
