"Winner of the Best New Building Award (2012) is the sparkling white International Port Terminal in Mile End, designed by Joel Kempsey-Fagg of D5 Architects of Birmingham. It feels like a light airy airport - and the clarity of signs and routes needed to process 400,000 people to and from their ferries and cruise ships each year make their transit enjoyable. The sculptural anti-terrorism protection: giant anchors and concrete chain links enhance the perimeter, and the judges were impressed by the innovative use of seawater for cooling and heating via a heat exchanger. Halcrow were the lead design consultants for project management, civil engineering, structural, mechanical and electrical engineering. Mansell were the main contractors."
