Speaking today, Phil Howl, RIBA West Midlands Jury Chair said, \u201cThe 2015 Jury had a fascinating and varied collection of buildings to visit.\u00a0\u00a0Many were commissioned at the depth of the recession in what must have been demanding circumstances and doubtless with challenging budgets.\u00a0\u00a0It was therefore very rewarding to see how the architects had worked creatively with their clients to extract the greatest potential from their budgets to produce such well-crafted and thoughtful buildings. Sustainability was high on the agenda and the fact that several of the buildings had become catalysts for regeneration of an area demonstrates the wider value that great architecture can achieve.\u201d<\/font><\/div>\n
