City revamp projects up for awards

REGENERATION projects at the Usher Hall and Morningside Parish Church are among the work shortlisted for this year's Edinburgh Architectural Association (EAA) Awards.

The EAA received 25 submissions in four categories - Building of the Year, Conservation and Regeneration, Small Projects and, for the first time, the Ambassador Award.

LDN Architects is shortlisted in the Conservation and Regeneration section for phase two and three of its project at the Usher Hall, as well as work at Morningside Parish Church and the University of Edinburgh Business School.

Reiach and Hall Architects is nominated in the Small Projects category for its Super Insulated House at Rosslyn Chapel.

The judging panel was chaired by Robert Black, past president of the EAA. He said: "We are encouraged that architects continue to produce architecture of an exceptionally high standard."
