This week the winners of the EU Prize for Contemporary Architecture 2011 were announced in Barcelona. The main prize went to David Chipperfield Architects for their work on the Neues Museum in Berlin alongside Julian Harrap.

The Emerging Architect Special Mention went to Ramon Bosch and Bet Capdeferro for the Collage House in Girona. The winners won 60,000 and 20,000 euros respectively to go along with the accolades and the considerable boost to reputation that these awards represent.

The winning formula for these particular projects appeared to be the marriage between new and old materials, giving historical structures a new lease of life.
