The infamous Carbuncle Award in Scotland has been relaunched after a four-year absence and is still unafraid of controversy.
The shortlist for this year includes the Richard Rogers Partnership’s pedestrian and cycle bridge in Glasgow. The nomination for the bridge criticised the scheme for being “hugely derivative of Wilkinson Eyre’s Millennium Bridge”, “not going anywhere” and costing £40 million. The winner when the award was last made in 2001 was the town of Airdrie.
