The Australian Federal Police\u2019s leading-edge Forensics and Data Centre designed by HASSELL was awarded the ACT\u2019s Territory\u2019s top architectural architecture award at the Australian Institute of Architects\u2019 2018 ACT Architecture Awards tonight.<\/p>\n
HASSELL was presented the prestigious Canberra Medallion by the Minister for Planning and Land Management, Mick Gentleman for the AFP facility. This project also took out the top honour in the commercial category winning the John Andrews Award for Commercial Architecture.<\/p>\n
Australian Institute of Architects (ACT) Jury Chair, Rob Henry, said for the first time, the new AFP building brings together 200 experts in digital, biological and chemical forensics, weapons intelligence and fingerprint and facial identification into one complex.<\/p>\n
\u2018\u201cThis brief could so easily have succumbed to an explicitly defensive architecture. Instead, the Forensics and Data Centre extracts generosity and openness from a highly sensitive program to engender a collaborative and collegiate workplace and find a welcome ease of fit between organisation and built form,\u2019\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
ACT Chapter President, Philip Leeson, said, \u2018\u201c\u2018wWe\u2019ve had a record number of entries in this year\u2019s awards, which is a promising sign that Canberra homeowners and business leaders see the benefit and return on investment achieved through architectural design. Many of the projects were commissioned by the private sector including a number of education buildings and several private residences.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
The CSIRO\u2019s new Black Mountain research facility, Synergy by BVN received multiple accolades winning the sustainable and public architecture categories with the Derek Wrigley Award for Sustainable Architecture and the Romaldo Giurgola Award for Public Architecture as well as an Award for Interior Architecture.<\/p>\n
The redevelopment of Australia\u2019s first fully enclosed shopping mall, Monaro Mall by Universal Design Studio and Mather Architecture was highly acclaimed by the judges receiving the JS Murdoch Award for Heritage, the W Hayward Morris Award for Interior Architecture, an Award for Commercial Architecture and the Robert Foster Award for Light in Architecture.<\/p>\n
\u2018\u201cAn ambitious project, the practice team has successfully and sensitively restored, revealed, reinstated and re-imagined Monaro Mall\u2019s heritage values, intent and finishes. Monaro Mall is now a light-filled and material-rich contemporary retail transformation which demonstrates the powerful potential of adaptive reuse of heritage buildings over demolition,\u201d ,\u2019 Rob Henry said.<\/p>\n
On the residential architecture front, Swan by Collins Caddaye Architects, a bold home on a semi-rural property, seven years in the making, received the Malcom Moir and Heather Sutherland Award for Residential Architecture \u2013 Houses (New).<\/p>\n
The Emerging Architect Prize was awarded to Shannon Battisson from The Mill: Architecture + Design. Robert Foster was acknowledged for his contribution to art and architecture through the Lifetime Contribution Prize.<\/p>\n
A total of 38 Named Awards, Awards and Commendations were presented on the night from a record field of 58 entries. Named Award and Award winners will now progress to the National Architecture Awards to be announced in Melbourne on Thursday 1 November 2018.<\/p>\n
