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.

3. Doncaster Enterprise Market
Doncaster Enterprise Market, by Bond Bryan. Grade II-listed structure has been used for market stalls which, prior to this refurbishment, had fallen into disrepair. New stalls are connected with the civic public realm outside - drawing the visitors into the central heart of the Wool Market space with a horseshoe shape of food stalls, arranged around a central eating space.
