This exhibition showcases the shortlisted entries in the Architects’ Journal 2010 Awards.

All the projects in this exhibition were built for less than £250,000.
From bridges to a pop-up-store and even a hut for gazing and canoodling these projects showcase the ingenuity of a cross section of architects’ work, located internationally.

Robert Powell Executive Director of Beam said;
“Working to a small budget tests the creativity and talent of those involved. This exhibition shows that great architecture can be achieved on limited resources.”

Haworth Tompkins architectural practice scooped the prize this year for Dovecote Studio, which forms part of the music campus at Snape Maltings, founded by Benjamin Britten, in derelict industrial buildings on the Suffolk coast.

The Studio inhabits the ruins of the Victorian structure in the form of a new prefabricated Cor-ten steel shell that was built adjacent to and craned into the ruined brickwork of the former Dovecote when complete.
The building is welded in a single piece, like the hull of a ship, to achieve weather tightness and lined in plywood to create a new studio space for artists in residence.
