Sixty three new buildings across the UK and the EU have been rewarded with RIBA Awards for their high architectural standards and their contribution to their local environment. Projects selected for their design excellence range in size and use from 30 St Mary Axe (Swiss Re Tower) in London to a steel maze in the Kielder Forest Park in Northumberland. Projects by Frank Gehry, Studio Daniel Libeskind and Foster and Partners are amongst the winners.

The buildings from Scotland that received awards:

Clavius Building, Elder & Cannon, "It is clear that the close involvement of the college at each stage of the design development has ensured that the building supports the educational ethos of the school and seemingly offers a stimulating environment for learning."

Dick Place, Andrew Doolan, "This is the product of a remarkable trust between client and architect. The whole is an experimental fantasy in light and water - a shimmering object of desire. This sadly was the architect's last work, as he died suddenly in the week the judges made their unanimous recommendation of an award."

Maggie's Cancer Caring Respite Centre, Frank Gehry with James F Stephen, "This beautifully put together respite centre sits, seemingly isolated, in an elevated position overlooking the Tay Estuary. With its stainless steel clad undulating roof, it is an inspirational piece of architecture in conception and detail."

The 63 winners will form the long-list for the RIBA Stirling Prize in association with The Architects' Journal , which Channel 4 will broadcast for the fifth year running on Channel 4 on Saturday 16 October.

During the RIBA Awards event, six additional buildings from around the world received an RIBA Worldwide Award. These new awards, in association with The Architectural Review, recognised significant international projects by practices including Zaha Hadid Architects, Richard Rogers Partnership and Alsop Architects.

Speaking at the awards dinner RIBA President George Ferguson said: “The RIBA Awards process has come up trumps again, recognising a remarkable selection of buildings from almost every sector. I am particularly delighted to see a good number of buildings designed for children, including two nurseries and five schools, amongst this year's winners. Other buildings which range from a cancer care respite centre, a public swimming pool, a dental clinic and a department store to arts centres indicate that yet more of the UK population will experience the benefits that good architecture can bring. The health of the profession has never looked better. We all now look forward to seeing how this great range of buildings fare in the RIBA Stirling Prize stakes, to be televised live on Channel 4 in October.”
