Five of Australia’s best emerging architects will embark on a tour of Copenhagen, London and Lisbon, as winners of the prestigious Australian Institute of Architects Dulux Study Tour 2019.
Carly McMahon (Liminal Studio), Jennifer McMaster (TRIAS), Phillip Nielsen (Regional Design Service), Ben Peake (Carter Williamson Architects), and Alix Smith (HASSELL) were today announced as the award recipients following a rigorous selection process.
Anthony Balsamo has worked on a range of private and public projects that have been awarded at state and national level by the Australia Institute of Architects. As an associate director at Walter Brooke and Associates, Anthony is recognised for his diverse range of skills and passionate pursuit of quality architectural outcomes.
In 2004, Anthony co-established the New Architects Group to provide support to young professionals. This was subsequently formalized by smaller groups nationally, forming what is now EmAGN (Emerging Architects and Graduates Network). Anthony went on to become the national president of EmAGN and has most recently served as a councillor for the Institute’s South Australian Chapter.
Anthony was a co-creative director of the Festival of Architecture and Design. He is a current board member of ArtSembly and the creator of Design Festival in association with the Adelaide City Council. These contributions have been balanced with design teaching at the University of Adelaide.
Anthony Balsamo is very deserving of the National Emerging Architect Prize. His work highlights the contribution that individuals make within larger practices and across many realms, and he has defined himself as a current and future leader within the industry.
