Film maker Daniel Elliot has produced seven short films, each approximately 3 minutes long on each of the winning schemes. Beautifully shot, and entirely independently of the designers or clients of the building, they capture the qualities of these schemes that make them Hadrian Award winners.
If you would like a DVD version of the short films (£9 each) or the Brochure for the 2007 winner (no cost) please contact Northern Architecture.

An exemplary scheme that marries contemporary design with sensitive conservation of a landmark group of grade II listed buildings.
Dalton Park is a visionary scheme that has brought about a complete transformation of a disused colliery tip site into a striking landscape that offers diverse wildlife habitat, combined with a retail and leisure use. It is this symbiosis between commercial and ecological regeneration that ensures that the scheme will not only be well maintained and financially viable, but provide a catalyst for the widespread economic regeneration of the surrounding community.
Dance City's Studios, Dance:Lab Theatre, teaching spaces and offices for Dance organisations are arranged around the drama of a Social atrium: the building and dance community's creative focus. A cafe sits off at the front door, looking out over the new urban square, and a spiral of gathering spaces rise up from it around the main Social Space, acting as individual focuses for the whole building's constituent parts. Big, cellular spaces - Studios and Theatre - are contained in heavyweight diaphragm-brick box wings, with the flexible and open plan administration spaces in a complementary frame and glass L-shaped one.
Darlington Education Village is the first wholly integrated and inclusive school to be built in the country in line with new government policy. It successfully combines existing secondary, primary, nursery and special educational needs (SEN) schools into a single integrated campus developing a unique approach to inclusive schools bringing benefits for education both in Darlington and across the country. The village caters for children ages 0-16 and of all abilities.
The Devonshire Building is a flagship development for the University of Newcastle which, in many ways, embodies a new approach to providing academic facilities. It is an Environmental Research Facility and it is central to the design of the building that it is demonstrably `green` in terms of a sustainable approach and application of best practice in environmental standards.
Gateshead Council's new regional performance centre at Gateshead International Stadium, opened by Lord Coe in May 2006, has built upon the experience gained from a series of five specialist English Institute for Sport complexes completed by FaulknerBrowns Architects in the last five years. Its integration with the Gateshead College Academy of Sport has resulted in a truly sustainable, vibrant hive of activity, in which sport and education are united, and where budding sportspersons and elite athletes rub shoulders together.
The Generator Studios brand was evolved to appeal to all of the senses and leave a very distinct impression. The entrance is more cafe than reception - the smell of fresh coffee, the sound of the espresso machine and the opportunity to play table football are instantly appealing and welcoming.
Gunnerton is a small village of about 180 people. There are no facilities or amenities apart from the church building, which is listed as grade 2. St Christopher's Church, built in 1900, was based on an award-winning design submitted to the Royal Academy Exhibition in 1898 by J.C Hawes (1876 - 1956) who described it as ‘the best I ever did’. It featured in an article in the British Architect in 1902. Hawes became an Anglican and then a Roman Catholic Priest, and in later life a hermit. He continued to practise as an architect, particularly in Australia.
The Parochial Church Council commissioned Vincente Stienlet to repair and restore the church, but also to provide a meeting area with WC and kitchen at the rear of the building. The church has been restored to its former glory, and now is a community facility for social, education and leisure activities.
In 2004, the world class bio-medical researches of the University of Newcastle`s Cancer Research Unit formed the Northern Institute for Cancer Research in the purpose-built Paul O`Gorman building designed by FaulknerBrowns.
