The winner of the 2007 Stirling Prize for Architecture will be announced tonight, with David Chipperfield, the architect in charge of designs for Turner Contemporary, a strong favourite to win.

Indeed, Chipperfield is the only candidate with two buildings on the shortlist - the Museum of Modern Literature in Marbach am Neckar in Germany and the America’s Cup building in Valencia, Spain.

He says the English have a problem with modern buildings. “We either go for the bombastic or pastiche”.

Read more about the award on the BBC article Buildings at Risk (Of Being Different) and watch the award ceremony live on Channel 4, tonight at 8pm.

UPDATE: It’s fantastic to be able to tell you that David Chipperfield won the Stirling Prize for his Museum of Modern Literature in Marbach am Neckar in Germany.
