Architect of the year went to Arup Associates, which had showcased excellence in this field – particularly with its Singapore National Stadium.

UK ‘fourth worst’ for obesity cancers
Te UK is the fourth worst country in the world for rates of cancer caused by obesity in men, a recent study has discovered. The research published in The Lancet
Oncology, which compared 176 countries, found that only men in Argentina, Jordan and the Czech Republic were worse off, with Britain reporting 4.4 per cent of cancers being linked to obesity each year, a total of 7,217 cases. In the USA – which is renowned for its obesity issues – the figure stood at 3.5 per cent, while the global average is 1.9 per cent. British women are even worse off, with
13,000 cases a year (8.2 per cent) being obe- sity linked – the global average is 5.4 per cent – but it is lower down the overall table, with only 38 countries faring worse. Te figures are thought to be high in women
