Oliver Wainwright, architecture critic for The Guardian, writes his top ten list of architecture for 2018, finding plenty to celebrate around from the other side of the pond.

The list includes buildings in Paris, Ramallah, London, Glasgow, and Dundee. Also included on the list is the Sloane Medal going to Denise Scott Brown, "a small way to making up for an entire career of being ignored in the shadow of her husband Robert Venturi."
