So, what is on the Stirling menu thistime? A minimally correct pavilion combining asubtle reading of its rural site with some echoes of Mies; a riverside campus in Glasgow with a good planning rationale but a clumsy and cliched architectural expression; a suave insertion of glazed cylinders in the Oxford urban landscape which reinvents the atrium; aseries of urban art spaces in London with a gutsy industrial brick exterior but oddly proportioned and formulaic interiors; a competent refurbishment of a stodgy library building by Giles Gilbert Scott; a worthy housing project that integrates public spaces.
