Global recognition for city buildings
Two Liverpool buildings have made the shortlist for the first ever World Architecture Festival Awards, a three-day event being held in Barcelona in October to celebrate architectural excellence over the last 18 months. The Bluecoat and the ACC Liverpool have been shortlisted in two categories – old and new, and production, which includes business parks, factories and exhibition complexes. The international judging panel, headed by Lord Norman Foster and including architect Will Alsop, will announce the winners at the festival. The Manchester Civil Justice Centre has also been shortlisted in the civic category. An overall World Building of the Year 2008 will be chosen from the category winners
