The American Express Community Stadium, Brighton & Hove Albion’s new football ground, is one of four winners in this year’s Structural Steel Design Awards.
Also chosen were the Marks & Spencer distribution facility in Bradford; Cannon Place, London and Antony Gormley’s 26m high 'Exposure' sculpture in the Netherlands.
The awards, now in their 43rd year, recognise excellence in structural and architectural design with the use of steel. Judges selected the four winners from a shortlist of 18.
Judges’ chairman Mr David Lazenby said that “The old saying ‘when the going gets tough, the tough get going’ is well illustrated by the entries for this year's Structural Steel Design Awards. The skill, imagination and determination of these project teams is remarkable, at a time when the steelwork industry has inevitably been affected by the current economic climate.”
Commendations were also awarded to five structures
1. The St Botolph Building, London
2. ExCeL Phase 2
3. River Suir Bridge, Waterford
4. The Rose Bowl, Southampton
5. The Hauser Forum, Cambridge
Certificates of Merit went to the New Cross Gate Flyover, East London Line and the 2010 Festival of Speed Sculpture, Goodwood.
