The weather having reached the required degree of dreadfulness, it is time for the chosen assessors to consider the schemes which are eligible for the 2008 New City Architecture Award. This Award is presented annually (usually at the Livery Banquet) to the building or scheme which makes the most significant contribution to the streetscape and or skyscape of the City of London in the qualifying year. Buildings must be deemed, by the City Planning Department, to be complete free of planning conditions.
The assessors this year are: Paul Finch (Chairman), Alderman Sir Robert Finch, The Master, The Renter Warden, Assistant Dr Mervyn Miller and Liveryman Mrs Anne Markey. They will be assisted / shepherded by the Clerk.
While they make no promises that such views will be taken into consideration the Assessors would, nonethe less, welcome any views readers may have on the merits of the following short-listed schemes:
1 Old Jewry / 36-39 Poultry; architects - Sheppard Robson
120 Cheapside; architects - Fletcher Priest
