Practice which took the Young Architect of the Year award in 2007 beats seven others to house dear old Dolly and the swanky EsperanceThe London architects Carmody Groarke have won the design competition for Windermere's new steamboat museum, beating seven others on a shortlist from 114 initial expressions of interest.Their collection of simple but practical buildings was chosen in a 'blind viewing' of anonymous submissions for the centre north of Bowness, which will have a dock for the museum's wonderful collection of dainty craft, a conservation workshop and a visitor centre.The £10 million museum is a slimmed-down version of a grandiose project costing £24.7 million which failed to raise enough funding. Money has been found for the more modest scheme which will be run by the Lakeland Arts Trust whose other flagships, Abbot Hall in Kendal, Blackwell south of Windermere and the Museum of Lakeland Life, are all highly-rated attractions.Carmody Groarke is a relatively new practice which won the Young Architect of the Year award in 2007. Its other flagship project has been the memorial for the victims of the July 7 bombing in London in 2005.The judges, who took into account people's views at a brief public display of the shortlist in Windermere, say of the winning design:Carmody Groarke has produced a memorable and sensitive set of design proposals which demonstrated an excellent understanding of the multi-faceted nature of the Brief and the Trust's requirements. The conflicting demands of providing a functional museum to house, display and conserve the historic boat collection within a facility that will create a high-quality visitor experience and have broad audience appeal to encourage repeat visits had been addressed particularly well. The simple forms of the cantilevered buildings were considered to resonate well with the heritage of the site, as well as the Lakeland landscape and steamboat architecture.The others on the shortlist were: 6a Architects Adam Khan Architects Niall McLaughlin Architects Reiach and Hall Architects Sutherland Hussey Architects                 Terry Pawson Architects Witherford Watson Mann ArchitectsThe steamboat museum has been closed since 2007 but has now passed the first stage of approval for a potential Lottery grant of £7.4 million, with the approval of a £494,000 to develop the full bid. Its collection includes Dolly, salvaged from Ullswater after sinking in the great frost of 1895, and the oldest working mechanically powered boat in the world. Another star exhibit will be Esperance, a luxurious craft commissioned by the multi-millionaire ironmaster Henry Schneider who commuted on it and his personal train to Barrow-in-Furness. The Esperance stood in as Captain Flint's houseboat in films of the Swallows and Amazons stories written by the Manchester Guardian foreign correspondent Arthur Ransome. Other exhibits will include the Dawn, the UK's oldest surviving sailing yacht, built in 1780, and Beatrix Potter's odd, square-shaped rowing dinghy.Lake DistrictMuseumsMuseumsBoating holidaysWindermereTourism, transport and travelMartin Wainwrightguardian.co.uk © 2011 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

At the beginning of the year we introduced you to the new 52 weeks project our communities team are running on Flickr to document the year in pictures – here's an update on the and showcase of some of the best photos from week fiveSince we started the 52 weeks project to document the year in pictures – a collaborative effort with Flickr users – we've seen the group taking part grow to more than 700 members and so far more than 1,000 photos have been submitted.From fireworks and storms in week one, to back-to-work blues and foggy sunsets in weeks two and three, we have now reached week five and the first week of February has been dominated by the snowy scenes. The aim of the group is to not only chronologically track 2012 in pictures – but to explore the ways we are taking and sharing photos in 2012. The news Kodak was filing for bankruptcy sparked this thread with users showcasing their favourite snaps taken on a Kodak and reminiscing on their favourite Kodak products. The group has also been sharing links to other places where these photography themes are being explored – including Timeout London's instagram albums, and soundcloud's storywheel.Finally 52 weeks users are sharing their favourite iPhoneography apps they use to add to the feel of the moment on their android snaps – this thread has a great list of apps for android including RetroCamera and Paper Camera and this thread looks at the top apps for the iPhone including Camera+ and Tiltshiftgenerator. As the group continues members are exploring and experimenting with taking photos on all sorts of devices - but especially new photograph apps and how phones are styling the day-to-day images of our lives. If you're interested, join the 52 weeks project here - we're now in week six but it's not to late to get involved!See all the Photos of 2012: 52 weeks project images so far in this slideshow:Thanks to all the readers who have got involved so far.

Now that anyone can be a publisher, the attorney general has a duty to educate the public about contempt - before an ill-informed tweeter goes to jailIf Joey Barton is not prosecuted for contempt of court over his tweets about John Terry's trial, it will be more by luck than by design.Barton, never at a loss for words, made his views on the Terry case very plain in a series of robust tweets on Friday evening. It was clear he thought Terry's would be a jury trial. The fact that it will be held at a magistrates court, whose justices and district judges are regarded as harder to sway than a jury, might save Barton an appearance in the dock himself. Whether he is prosecuted would appear to hang on whether the attorney general, Dominic Grieve, takes the view that his tweets may have caused a serious impediment to John Terry's case by influencing a witness.This latest example of the use of social media leading to potential contempt of court should sound alarm bells at the Ministry of Justice, because the attorney general faces a potentially serious challenge to the ability of the courts to give people a fair trial. It is only a matter of time before someone with as many followers as Barton - almost 1.2m, at the last count - and as loose a grasp of the law causes the collapse of a crown court trial.The law on contempt, as enacted in 1981, places the burden on the publisher not to cause a substantial risk of serious prejudice to active proceedings – 'active' being as soon as someone is arrested, or a warrant is issued for their arrest. Back then publishers were invariably established media – newspapers and broadcasters. They know how to avoid contempt, and they pay the often very heavy price when they stray across the line. The Sun, Mirror, and Daily Mail have all faced actions over the past year after having published prejudicial material, in print or online. But as Barton's tweets (now deleted) showed, he had no knowledge of contempt law. Ignorance of the law is no excuse, and the fact contempt is a strict liability offence also removes Barton's intent from the equation in any potential prosecution too.Being pragmatic, though, does Dominic Grieve really want to allow a situation to continue where the tweets of a celebrity or sports star with a million-plus followers bring a high-profile trial to a halt, at great cost to the taxpayer? Prejudicial conversations about ongoing trials which were once confined to the dinner table, pub or dressing room are now conducted with an online audience of millions.In portraying himself as a martyr for free speech, Barton unfortunately fails to recognise the competing right to a fair trial and the presumption of innocence that is central to that right. The Law Commission is looking at how to deal with contempt by publication on the internet, but work does not start on that until 2014, with a report due in winter 2016. By that time Twitter may be dead and buried and new forms of social media throwing down newer challenges to the judicial system.What is needed now is a more proactive approach than simply bringing prosecutions, as Grieve has shown himself willing to do. That concentrates the minds of newspaper editors, but it will not prevent the sort of contempt that Barton flirted with on Friday evening. The Ministry of Justice cannot police Twitter and other social media, but what it can do is make the public more aware of the right to a fair trial and how that can be put in jeopardy. A campaign of public information, waged on the very social media that can prejudice a trial, might go some way to preventing public figures with large followings damaging a defendant's right to a fair trial.Contempt of courtMedia lawTrial by juryUK criminal justiceDominic GrieveJoey BartonTwitterDavid Banksguardian.co.uk © 2012 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.
