Mr Karotkin comes to the National Presidency following three years as WA Chapter President. In this role, he strongly advocated for the profession in that state. Now, the profession will benefit from his passion, leadership and advocacy at a national level.

‘I am honoured by the responsibility of representing our membership in this role and am dedicated to making a meaningful contribution throughout the year.

‘The role of National President is part of a continuum, from a term as National Councillor and President Elect through to support as Immediate Past President. And while I’ll continue to work with my fellow councillors in implementing strategic initiatives currently in development, I would also like to promote some issues that I am particularly interested in, including mandatory use of architects for the design of certain types of buildings and improved member engagement with the Institute,’ Mr Karotkin said.

Mr Karotkin received a Bachelor of Architecture, First Class Honours from Curtin University and is Managing Director of award winning Perth-based architectural consultancy Sandover Pinder, where he has worked since 1995. He has practised in the United Kingdom, Israel, Asia and Australia across a diverse portfolio of architectural projects including healthcare, education, law and order and community developments. Recently he led the firm’s expansion into the Indonesian healthcare industry, which has helped to set new international standards.

Taking over the role from Paul Berkemeier, Mr Karotkin thanked Mr Berkemeier for his leadership and contribution to issues including gender equity and diversity, and architectural education over the past 12 months.

‘Paul has been hugely valuable as a mentor and an advocate for the profession and his work in developing Australia’s bid for the UIA 2020 Congress is to be commended,’ Mr Karotkin said.

Former Victorian Chapter President Jon Clements has been appointed President Elect.

It’s all in the detail – Brisbane Regional Architecture Awards announced

Thirty projects from across Brisbane were honoured at the Australian Institute of Architects’ 2014 Brisbane Regional Architecture Awards announced tonight at special ceremony held at the Edmund Rice Performing Arts Centre.

Queensland 2014 State Awards Jury Director, Liam Proberts, presented 30 Regional Commendations to projects spanning a range of sizes and purposes, which now progress to the Queensland State Architecture Awards, announced in Brisbane on 20 June

The winners of the John Dalton Award for Building of the Year, House of the Year and an Enduring Architecture Prize were also announced.

The John Dalton Award for Building of the Year went to UQ Advanced Engineering Building by Richard Kirk Architect and HASSELL (Joint Venture) in addition to receiving two Regional Commendations for Public Architecture and Interior Architecture.

‘The UQ Advanced Engineering Building (AEB), a collaboration of Richard Kirk Architect and HASSELL exquisitely embodies a significant benchmark in sustainability within a complex building program of research, teaching and learning. AEB expertly embraces setting and place and has created an exemplar of engagement with renewable resources and local industry.

‘The project provides teaching, research and laboratory facilities either side of a five storey timber clad, elongated central atrium with a double glazed roof. The axis terminates in an expressive timber trussed off-form concrete lecture theatre with the lake setting as backdrop. Thoroughly considered and exquisitely detailed,’ the jury said.

Highgate Hill House by Twofold Studio and Cox Rayner Architects was awarded the Brisbane House of the Year.

‘A sublime piece of architecture, expressed through intricate detailing that is seamlessly engaged with an ironically humble brief. A visceral experience of occupation is manifest through a series of spatially modest but poetically executed rooms. A bespoke, controlled garden and a sequence of outdoor living zones complete the project,’ reported the jury.

The jury nominated and awarded a special Enduring Architecture Prize to AH Job and RP Froud for their 1960 project Torbreck, Queensland’s first multi-storey home unit development.

Risky business – 2015 National Architecture Conference creative team to explore risk in architecture

National President Elect, David Karotkin, has announced the creative team for the 2015 National Architecture Conference on the final day of Making: 2014, this year’s conference, held in Perth.

Donald Bates, Hamish Lyon and Andrew Mackenzie have partnered to explore the changing role of risk in architecture for the 2015 Conference, which will take place in Melbourne, 14-16 May.

2015 National Architecture Conference Creative Directors - Hamish Lyon, Andrew Mackenzie and Donald Bates
2015 National Architecture Conference Creative Directors – Hamish Lyon, Andrew Mackenzie and Donald Bates

‘No one wants to be a safe architect; to be conventional and predictable. Yet what client would choose the risk of the unknown over the safety of the known?

‘Risk will explore this troubled nexus; between the professional necessity to take calculated and creative risks and a world incapacitated by risk minimisation,’ the team said.

‘From the domestic risk of the Farnsworth House to the spatial risk of Bilbao Guggenheim, from the construction risk of Sydney Opera House to the cultural risk of the Pompidou Centre, all great achievements in architecture have been the result of calculated risks, by both architect and client.

The multidisciplinary team will focus their attention on four aspects of risk within the profession: risks related to cultural relevance, architectural pedagogy, professional practice and the discipline of architecture.

Professor Donald Bates is a Director of LAB Architecture Studio in Melbourne and is Chair of Architectural Design at the University of Melbourne. Widely published, he has completed works in a variety of countries across Asia, the Middle East and Great Britain, in addition to local projects including Melbourne’s Federation Square precinct. Donald has participated in lectures, seminars, reviews, workshops and programs at over 95 universities and schools of architecture and professional venues.

Principal of NH Architecture, Hamish Lyon leads the firm’s design thinking and direction. He is involved in projects of all scales within the office and has completed a wide range of architectural projects, urban initiatives and masterplans including Melbourne’s world class 6 Star Green Star Convention Centre on the Yarra River and the redevelopment of Myer’s flagship Bourke Street store in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD. He began his architectural career with the national Robin Boyd Medal, awarded under the chairmanship of the pre-eminent Australian architect, Glenn Murcutt. His ongoing commitment to architecture as a public advocate was recognised in the Age’s 2009 poll where he was voted one of Melbourne’s 100 most influential people.

Andrew Mackenzie is Director of CityLab, a consultancy he founded in 2011. His clients include Major Projects Victoria, Monash University, Gold Coast City Council, Waterfront Auckland and Integrated Design Commission South Australia. He is also an independent publisher of architecture and design books under the imprint Uro, which publishes practice monographs as well as architectural history and theory. He is also an architecture writer for the Australian Financial Review and a Contributing Editor to Architecture Australia.

Shortlist announced for 2014 NSW Architecture Awards

Ninety-one projects have been shortlisted for this year’s NSW Architecture Awards the Australian Institute of Architects announced today.

The winners of each of these categories will be announced at the 2014 NSW Architecture Awards presentation evening on 26 June along with the COLORBOND® Award for Steel Architecture which, like the award for Sustainable Architecture, is selected from across the entire field of entries.

A host of prizes will also be announced on the night including the Blacket Prize for regional architecture, the NSW President’s Prize, the NSW Premier’s Prize and the City of Sydney Lord Mayor’s Prize.

NSW Chapter President Joe Agius said the shortlist reflected the broad range of architectural activity happening across New South Wales from large scale public placemaking through to the latest in residential design at any budget.

‘This year we saw an increase in the number of entries for the NSW Architecture Awards which is a very positive sign for the profession and we look forward to celebrating the best in current architectural practice at the Awards presentation evening in June,’ Mr Agius said.

The 2014 NSW Architecture Awards will be announced on Thursday 26 June at the heritage Doltone House venue at Jones Bay Wharf.

Tickets for the presentation night are now on sale and available to purchase online via nswawards.architecture.com.au.

Region’s best celebrated at Far North Queensland Regional Architecture Awards

Seven outstanding local projects have been honoured at the Australian Institute of Architects’ 2014 Far North Queensland Regional Architecture Awards, held tonight at the Cairns Foreshore, The Wharf Shed 2.

Ten projects including a research institute, educational medical facilities, houses, public infrastructure and tourism buildings were entered in the Awards with six projects (see list below) being awarded Regional Commendations by the jury and progressing to the Queensland Architecture Awards to be announced in Brisbane on 20 June.

In addition to a Regional Commendation, JCU Dental by Phillips Smith Conwell Architects was presented with the Eddie Oribin Award for Building of the Year.

‘JCU Dental flips the typical clinical arrangement by putting a positive experience for the client first and foremost. The spaces focus on the lush landscape through well placed and expansive shaded glazing. An interior palette uses a fan palm motif that creates wayfinding and visual interest for patients. This building sets a benchmark for this building type in the tropical regions,’ the jury commented.

Stamp House by Charles Wright Architects was awarded the Far North Queensland House of the Year by the jury.

‘This house is an extraordinary response to a very personal and adventurous brief for a new type of tropical house in a remnant paddock in the rainforest. The concrete fabric chosen for permanence, robustness and thermal mass is placed on a man-made lake and shaped and patterned around its quirky personal spaces to somehow make its otherworldly presence take its place in the world’s oldest and most pristine landscape.’

To celebrate the work of local architects, Far North Queensland regional jury members selected Malanda Falls Visitors Centre by Charles Wright Architects as the inaugural recipient of the Regional Project of the Year.

‘The simple and strong idea of directly linking the building to country has generated a unique form that is fitting for its role as a tourist catcher and a symbol of the Malanda landscape. The approach has helped such a building be realised from a challenging brief and delivery process.’

A special Enduring Architecture Prize was presented to Mareeba Uniting Church by Eddie Oribin.

‘This church is an exquisitely conceived and executed building that has a sense of completeness from its external brick and timber fabric to its bespoke furniture and religious elements. The building has a sense of enduring quality – and has endured – due to the skillful use of beautiful materials and details that are used sparingly yet are absolutely suited to their purpose,’ the jury noted.
