Premio Stirling

Il Premio Stirling (Stirling Prize) è un concorso annuale di architettura organizzato dall'associazione britannica Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). I vincitori del concorso ricevono un premio di 20.000 sterline.
Prende il nome dall'architetto James Stirling (1926-1992).

Lo Stirling Prize della RIBA è assegnato all' "architetto dell'edificio che ha dato il più grande contributo all'architettura britannica nell'ultimo anno". L'architetto dev'essere membro della RIBA, ma l'edificio può trovarsi in un qualsiasi luogo dell'Unione europea.

Il premio fu istituito nel 1996, ed è considerato uno dei più prestigiosi premi per l'architettura nel Regno Unito. È pubblicizzato come l'equivalente per l'architettura del Premio Booker e del Premio Turner. La cerimonia di presentazione è trasmessa da Channel 4 e il premio è sponsorizzato dalla rivista Architects' Journal.
