Speirs + Major has won a 2010 FX Design Award for its illumination of Infinity Bridge in Stockton-on-Tees. The awards, organized by FX Magazine, have become an annual showcase for the best in international design.

The bridge, whose lit arches reflect in the water to form an eponymous infinity symbol, has already won its creators a number of prizes, including the Supreme Award for Structural Excellence in 2009, and the IALD Award of Excellence for lighting in 2010.

We’re pleased to announce that two schemes by Speirs + Major – Devonshire Square in London and Stockton’s Infinity Bridge – have been shortlisted for the 2011 Lighting Design Awards. The final winners will be announced at the event held on 10 March, 2011 at the Hilton Hotel, Park Lane, London.

The Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS) has presented Jonathan Speirs with its Lifetime Achievement Award - the highest accolade within Scottish architecture. The event took place at a ceremony in the Scottish Parliament on Tuesday 5 October, where Jonathan had been invited to receive a Fellowship of the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland.

Quite unexpectedly, it was also announced that Jonathan would receive the RIAS’s Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of his long career during which he has promoted the highest standards of professional excellence in architecture and light and acted as an ambassador for Scottish design and architecture throughout the world.
