Facade of the Year 2015-New Build; Facade of the Year 2015–Refurbishment; and an additional category Outstanding Facade Innovation 2015. The winners will be presented in December 2015 at the prestigious Glass Supper conference and dinner that attracts the highest echelon of facades-focused architects and engineers from around the world. This year the venue is the celebrated ‘Sky Garden’ in the City of London. International applications are welcome
from individuals, companies and project teams. The prizes will be awarded by a
panel of judges that includes some of the foremost experts from the field of facade engineering and design to entries that demonstrate: • A clear demonstration of excellence in technical design and/or research that has made a significant contribution to the discipline of facade engineering
• In the development of technologies, product designs, systems or buildings
The contribution may be demon-
strated in the form of technical advances, innovations or advanced engineering systems that result in practical design solutions for the completion of a project. Entries can relate to projects that are agreed, under construction or completed. Announcing the competition on
behalf of the SFE, Competition Organiser Graham Hackley said: “The discipline of facades engineering has
come of age and there is a wider recognition of the technical engineering and scientific underpinning that is required to be able to push the industry to new heights and levels of achievement. Some of the world’s most treasured structures are appreciated because of the key element of their facades. “The SFE FACADE2015 Competition
seeks to highlight the skills and vision that are creating the best of these projects.” All entries must be received by 2nd
November 2015 and those shortlisted will be notified by 21st November 2015.

Visitors to St Andrews will be able to enjoy the most famous view in golf from some of the most luxurious accommodation in the country after Macdonald Hotels were this week granted planning permission for a 44-suite extension to the Rusacks Hotel, overlooking the 18th green at The Old Course. The £7 million extension to the 128-year-old hotel in the
‘Home of Golf ‘ will also include a rooftop restaurant, bar and terrace, as well as glass-fronted suites allowing visitors to witness up-close the grandeur of golf ’s most historic course. Macdonald Hotels deputy chairman Gordon Fraser warmly welcomed the planning decision: “This is a tremendously positive announcement for our company and for St Andrews,” The new restaurant, bar and 1,050sq ft roof terrace will
all offer spectacular views over the Old Course and the West Sands, additions which the company is confident will achieve ‘5 Red Star’ status for the Macdonald Rusacks Hotel. Stephen Gallacher, member of the winning 2014 European Ryder Cup Team and golf ambassador for
Macdonald Hotels, said: “I’ve seen the plans for this fantastic development at the Macdonald Rusacks Hotel and they are stunning. The group is committed to developing a truly world-class hotel in keeping with its fabulous location, overlooking the most famous hole on the most famous golf course in the world.” The extension to the hotel, which will also provide valet
car parking on the lower ground floor, has been designed by Scottish firm WCP Architects and will be built using traditional materials in keeping with its location in the historic town of St Andrews.
