Ever since 1966 the Royal Institute of British Architects has given annual awards for new architecture of particularly high quality. This year, nine awards have gone to projects outside the UK, including Frederiksberg Courthouse.

Its relevance and sensitivity to context is celebrated through the use of beautifully crafted in-situ and pre-fabricated panels of brickwork, and its fenestration enlivened by the use of external, folding, perforated aluminium shutters.
