Hence confusion. Lubetkin is given either to UK-based architect building outside EU or non-UK architect (but still RIBA member) building within or outside EU. Hence confusion.

Poor old us here in Dublin...and outside the EU?? put all our eggs in one building boom balloon. At least we got some great architecture out of it while it lasted. The birds nest is captivating.

The structure of the stadium is outstanding, the architecture is great. However, let me express my constructive critic: I was disappointed to see the seats have no rest arms. Also the rest rooms (WC) are not properly designed. You have to pull the door to get in, and either entrance and exit using the same door. Maybe the most beautiful stadium in the world, but it has lack of comfort when compare with a stadium in USA. I had been in the National Stadium (Bird nest) in Beijing last year.

The award should have been given to a structure that was able to retain the function that it was designed for. Granted it still could hold events, but no one can afford to pay for it... leaving only a shell of intent. Empty nest... This should not have been the winner. Exactly neuhaus.
