Australian architects working on projects abroad have been celebrated at the Australian Institute of Architects\u2019 International Chapter Architecture Awards.<\/p>\n

National President Ken Maher announced the seven awards and one commendation at an event in London on Thursday 9 June, chosen from a field of 16 entries across five categories.<\/p>\n

In announcing the winners, Maher noted the size, scale and location of the projects and congratulated Australian architects on their considerable contributions to projects beyond Australian shores.<\/p>\n

\u2018Asia has been a significant growth area for Australian practices in recent years and it is exciting to see the variety of works emerging, including some of immense scale. This is a testament to the talent and creativity of Australian architects in an increasingly international and competitive design arena.\u2019<\/p>\n

Of particular note is the National Gallery Singapore by studioMilou Singapore with CPG Consultants, which is South East Asia\u2019s largest modern art institution. The jury praised the \u2018masterful interventions [which] allow the elegant and powerful original colonial spaces a new and sophisticated life whilst still preserving their historical character\u2019.<\/p>\n
