The Hopkins-designed London 2012 Velodrome is one of the six schemes to be shortlisted for the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Stirling Prize 2011.
Folkwang Museum in Essen, Germany (David Chipperfield Architects) and Stratford-upon-Avon's Royal Shakespeare and Swan Theatres (Bennetts Associates) are also shortlisted. Two London schemes are also in the running for the accolade - the Evelyn Grace Academy (Zaha Hadid Architects) and The Angel Building, (Allford Hall Monaghan Morris).
Meanwhile, the sixth shortlisted project for the RIBA Stirling Prize 2011 is O'Donnell and Tuomey's An Gaelaras in Derry, Northern Ireland. It is the first time the shortlist comprises practices that have already been shortlisted for the prize, with the winner due to be announced on 1 October in Rotherham.
RIBA president Ruth Reed said: "'The RIBA Stirling Prize celebrates architectural excellence and this year we have another outstanding collection of culturally significant buildings on the shortlist." Meanwhile, Boston Museum of Fine Arts, US (Foster + Partners) and Guangzhou Opera House, China (Zaha Hadid Architects) are in the running for the RIBA Lubetkin Prize.
