The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has announced this year's winners of its annual National Awards and EU Awards. The competitions offer an excellent opportunity to look at some of Europe's most interesting new architecture. This year's UK winners include a variety of building types, and most of the country is well-represented (except Wales, which didn't snag a single win). A chapel in a back garden in Edinburgh, a visitor museum in Northern Ireland's Giant's Causeway, and a commercial building on London's Regent Street all attest to the range of buildings which took the judge's fancy. However, educational facilities were the big winners this year, with a full third of the winners dedicated to learning.
The standout offering from mainland Europe, meanwhile, must be the striking Enzo Ferrari Museum in Italy, which sports a 3,300 sq m (35,000 sq ft) yellow sculpted aluminum roof. The roof comes complete with functioning air intake vents that offer additional ventilation to the building.
"Risk-taking is not for the faint-hearted in recessionary times, but amongst this years crop of truly exceptional buildings, I am delighted to see such a variety of projects doing just that," says RIBA President Angela Brady. "From Jesmond Gardens, an open-plan primary school in Hartlepool with rooms divided simply by acoustic curtains, and the mould-breaking North London day-care hospice modeled on an over-sized house to appeal sensitively to its patients, to the Hive in Worcester, the first library for shared use by both the public and a University."
All 43 UK-based National Awards winners and nine winning entries from the EU Awards now qualify for a chance at winning the RIBA Stirling Prize competition. RIBA will whittle down the entries to announce a shortlist in July, before announcing the winner at Central Saint Martins in London on September 26.

In the aftermath of a disaster, many people come forward to volunteer to help those in need. But sometimes, those who want to help cant offer their professional services because they fear there is a liability risk.
"We're advocating for Good Samaritan liability protection for architects, engineers, landscape architects and land surveyors who volunteer their services following a declared disaster," says Timothy Boyland of the American Institute of Architects, New York State.
Boyland and Lance Jay Brown are from the American Institute of Architects. They are pushing state lawmakers to follow 25 other states in passing Good Samaritan legislation so architects, engineers and others in related fields are indemnified when they offer professional help after a disaster.
After Hurricane Sandy, hundreds of architects and engineers wanted to help the overtaxed city agencies with home assessments and structural evaluations, but AIA had to warn them not to get involved in the recovery efforts because they could be sued if there was an issue later on, a lesson learned after the September 11th attacks.
"After 9/11, there were engineers on the ground who were sued for air quality issues for which they took no responsibility and had no engagement," Brown says. "They were there just as structural engineers, but they were included in class-action suits."
The proposed bill would only offer the indemnity to these volunteer professionals for a set period of time after a disaster.
The bill is facing strong opposition from members of the legal community. But as the debate continues, time is ticking. AIA hopes to have it passed quickly so they can develop a plan of action.
"We would have people trained to be boots on the ground the next time there is a disaster, to be out doing assessments, doing structural work and helping these neighborhoods as quickly as possible," Boyland says.
So what do you think? If you strongly support or disapprove of the bill, now is the time to let your voice be heard. The legislative session ends next week, and many hope it can come to a vote before then.
