The eyecatching projects, says judging panel chairman Peter Cartwright, cover "a wide range of sectors with many schemes reinventing existing buildings rather than building new, which is great to see. We are very interested in the operation and performance of buildings, as opposed to purely how they look – their beauty must be more than skin deep." Winners will be announced at an awards evening in Sheffield on June 4.
