# Every Stirling Prize winner, 1996–2025

The RIBA Stirling Prize goes each year to the building that has made the greatest contribution to British architecture. From the Centenary Building in Salford in 1996 through the Gherkin, the Scottish Parliament and Zaha Hadid's back-to-back wins to Witherford Watson Mann's Appleby Blue almshouse in 2025: every winner with its architects (there was no prize in 2020).
