The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has announced the winners of the 2009 RIBA Awards today. RIBA Awards for architectural excellence were presented across Europe today with 97 buildings in the UK and 6 in the rest of the EU winning awards.
David Millington Northwest architectural photographer was commissioned to photograph 4 of the 2009 Riba award winning projects. They were:-
• The Paradise Street Bridge - Wilkinson Eyre Architects
• Liverpool ONE Master Plan - Building Design Partnership (BDP)
• Building 13B, Liverpool ONE - Allies and Morrison Architects
• The Castleford Bridge - McDowell+Bendetti Architects
The Paradise Street Bridge designed by architects Wilkinson Eyre links the John Lewis car park on Liver Street off Strand Street to the new John Lewis Department Store. The footbridge was constructed in three sections and is 55.5m in length, weighing 180 tonnes.

Liverpool ONE (The Paradise Project) was masterplanned by BDP it regenerates 42 acres of Liverpool City centre creating new shops, leisure and living accommodation. It comprises six distinct districts, 30 individually designed buildings, 1.6 million sq ft of retail space, a 14 screen cinema, 230,000 square feet of restaurants, cafés and bars, together with more than 600 new apartments, two hotels, offices, the Bali Award winning five acre Chavasse Park, and the new Merseytravel public transport interchange.

The McDowell+Bendetti Castleford Bridge's gently curving-shape meanders across the river Aire. The £4.8 million footbridge reopened access to the town’s forgotten waterfront and has enabled pedestrians to cross the river safely. The road bridge's narrow footpath meant that it was often dangerous to cross and the heavy goods vehicle's spray would make it a dirty crossing!

RIBA President Sunand Prasad said about the 2009 RIBA Award winners:
"The RIBA Awards are a thermometer to indicate the state of health of British architecture and for 2009 the results are good: both quality and quantity have been maintained. This year's list accurately reflects both the diversity, and the workload of UK architecture, with more schools and health buildings than usual winning awards. It is particularly heartening to see more schemes that are about regenerating our cities, towns and countryside. These awards, which are judged on a regional basis, reflect and reward the good things that are going on all across the UK, and they also form the basis of what promises to be another interesting year for the RIBA Stirling Prize."
