now glasgow college, this is altogether different. and one of the favourites. d of gleaming temple to practical skills in the centre of glasgow. a sector that often does not get celebrated. when you meet the stewardesses, what you think. it is a real feat, they‘ve squeezed in all the functions of a city in one building. all these different skills in one building. the second year running that the same client and architect have been on the short list so i would take away the winner. and right on top of the hill to give it a degree of civic status. it is like the parthenon, really gleaming on the parthenon, really gleaming on the rare occasions you have glasgow sunshine. and chat, tiny in comparison, a little black building on the old dockyard. it is very subtle, like a kind of surgical intervention. in the middle of a rambling series of old ship shared. and an old man a historical discovery. you're taking on a atmospheric journey to discover these old ships timbers. and again altogether different, the huge jewish museum, the back offices. 70% of this project is un

today, we look at the city of glasgow college by reiach & hall architects and michael laird architectsere is actually technical and professional education on an immense scale. the college wanted a building that exuded quality and ambition and aspiration for their students, we have put a building of scale, of character, of quality. they walk in and say, wow, this is a place i want to be part of. the building is special, it is located at a high point in the city, that vocational training is raised to the same level as any institution within the city. the new building is a new once—in—a—lifetime opportunity for the college to transform the way we teach and the way the students learn. we previously operated out of 11 quite dated buildings across the city. these new campus buildings and this one in particular brought together a hugely diverse curriculum, hugely diverse communities into two state—of—the—art campus sites. a really brilliant transformation for staff and students. all the nominated buildings are on the bbc arts website. you can find out the results live on tuesday at nine o‘clo

now the second on the list, altogether different, the glasgow college. more, once the great of the ages, they found some pieces of the ages, they found some pieces of it and then they had to display it. the story is about reuse and of course chatham and the history of the dockyards was about the reuse of timberand the dockyards was about the reuse of timber and machinery from the navy and from warand timber and machinery from the navy and from war and what the architect had done was to create an environment which is about adaptation and reuse. another museum, much bigger now, the british museum. and these are the back offices, a huge work space going right down on the ground. how do you compare that with the tiny project? of course it is iceberg of a building and a great feat of ingenuity. a talented team and an extremely technical programme. of course it is a very wide range on the short list and that is not a problem because we are a very diverse profession. now then we have a small block of flats, looks fantastic on the outside, almost like a cartoon b

buildings, that block of flats with both straw and wood and brick, and then the giant products like glasgow collegefelt like, how do we actually come back from that? did you think it was all over? i did and a lot of people did. but it was actually the opposite. seven years after that fire, hastings pier has been reborn. these three women are shareholders. the local community now owns the pier and it has been rebuilt. this curtain of glass, it finally gives the people of hastings a panoramic view out to sea. the woodwork here is the original timber from the pier. there are still some of the scorch marks from the fire of 2010. the most important innovation is this, nothing. what they chose not to build, the empty space. there is no end of the pier. and there is a good reason for all of this space. the history of britain's piers is a story of recurring disaster. flimsy wooden attractions that have a habit of going bankrupt and burning down. so much to listen to, so much to see, and everything must be the finest in the world, even the potato peeler. the old seaside attractions have gone. in their marke
