The coveted Supreme Award for Structural Engineering Excellence, presented to the year’s most outstanding example of structural engineering design, was, for the first time ever, jointly awarded to Christchurch Town Hall, New Zealand (also received The Award for Structural Heritage) and Lille Langebro, Denmark (also received The Award for Pedestrian Bridges).
由前仪式总裁蒂姆·伊贝尔（Tim Ibell）主持的评审团在赞扬项目的结构工程师，福尔摩斯咨询公司（Christchurch Town Hall）和Buro Happold（Lille Langebro）方面一致一致。
他们强调了这两家公司的技术复杂性是两个项目的脱颖而出的功能，使他们与其他获奖者区分开来。
他们感到基督城市政厅（Christchurch Town Hall）在地球后环境中进行了升级，修复和修复，并提供了各种结构和岩土技术挑战。
For Lille Langebro, they highlighted the pedestrian bridge’s elegant design which, as it incorporates a complex geometry, had demanded excellence in structural design and detailing.
在这两个项目中，结构设计师的精确度也给法官留下了深刻的印象，尤其是在处理非常具有挑战性的限制和高度具体的要求时。他们增加了对两个最高获奖者的细节的关注，这是典范，并且很好地展示了全球结构工程师所需的护理和技能。
伊贝尔教授在评论今年的参赛作品时说：“非常祝贺所有获奖者，并感谢所有进入的人。今年的提交表明，如何改变了对绿色建筑的态度。毫无疑问，我们将看到可持续性成为不可谈判的项目要求，与结构完整性，安全性和舒适性一样重要。”
