The RIBA Stirling Prize has captured the public imagination. It shows what good contemporary architecture can offer and highlights the very best of British architectural talent.
The prize is now celebrating its tenth year, and this exhibition explores the nine projects that have won to date. The tenth winner will be announced on 15 October 2005, live on Channel 4.
Drawings, plans, photographs and models on show offer a detailed view of how each of the nine prize-winning buildings were conceived, planned and constructed.

A gift in your will
You may not have thought of including a gift to a museum in your will, but the V&A is a charity and legacies form an important source of funding for our work. It is not just the great collectors and the wealthy who leave legacies to the V&A. Legacies of all sizes, large and small, make a real difference to what we can do and your support can help ensure that future generations enjoy the V&A as much as you have.
