	NEO Bankside Stirling Prize nomination RIBA, London, Thu 15 Oct 2015
	and throw the leaflets Which land near the door as people enter Architects walk in past the protesters T he other schemes up for the prize are socially desirable. A comphrensive school, social housing, a cancer care clinic, a university building and an art gallery.NEO Bankside sticks out like the sore thumb it is (as it does on some riverside views).Luxury for the wealthy few at the expense of the poor who need homes in London where they have to work.
	An architect stops to talk with the protesters The O J Simpson 2015 Prize for getting away with murder is announced; its winner NEO Bankside. No one came to claim it The protest - and the award ceremony inside - were continuing when I left. The Stirling Prize went to AHMM for Burntwood school and NEO Bankside, who appear to have seriously misled RIBA about some aspects of their scheme, left empty handed. Perhaps next year RIBA will think carefully and avoid putting such a socially divisive scheme on their shortlist.
