Scottish Crime Campus by Ryder Architecture and BMJ Architects
The Scottish Crime Campus, which brings together key law enforcement agencies within one facility to promote collaboration and innovation across multi agency services, is a key addition to Scotland's architectural landscape, not simply in terms of its sheer formal bravado. The building is also the first built product of the Scottish Government's new architecture policy. The facades of the £75 million state of the art facility, which provides 25,000 sqm net of high quality office accommodation over four levels for up to 1200 people, are inspired by the DNA double helix converted into a barcode. This motif refers to the forensic work carried out inside and is also reflected in the plan, which features four wings arranged around a central atrium. The Scottish Crime Campus recently won a GO (Government Opportunities) Excellence in Public Procurement Award.

Bannockburn Battlefield Visitor Centre, Bannockburn by Reiach and Hall Architects
The design approach to the new Bannockburn Battlefield Visitor Centre, according to Prof. Neil Gillespie of Edinburgh based Reiach and Hall Architects, is an 'attempt to find an equivalent memorable and indelible image that alludes to the importance and seriousness of the battle, made manifest through ordinary forms and materials'. In this case the form alludes to the blackhouses of the Highlands, 'an example of an enduring iconic architectural image,' explains Gillespie. This recognisable shape has here been transformed through an exploration of material, surface, shadow, texture and pattern. Brick is robust and durable, improves with age, but also makes this cultural building stands apart from its domestic white rendered neighbours. The centre was unveiled on the 700th anniversary of the Battle of Bannockburn.
