Every year the Australian Institute of Architects\u2019 SA Architecture Awards sees projects of all budgets and sizes – in 2018 the projects with some of the most modest budgets, smallest footprints or most challenging parameters are architects\u2019 own homes and workplaces.<\/p>\n
Even more impressive is that each of these entries have received commendations or awards. As South Australian Awards Director Pippa Buckberry observes \u2018architects are not only experimenting, exploring and stretching the boundaries of their craft but demonstrating the role we can all play by leading by example.\u2019<\/p>\n
The Darling Building by Williams Burton Leopardi (WBL), described by jurors as an \u2018adaptive re-use poster project\u2019 received two named Awards – the David Saunders Award for Heritage and the Keith Neighbour Award for Commercial Architecture. The project also won an Award for Sustainable Architecture, and The City of Adelaide Prize \u2013 People\u2019s Choice. Its interior – WBL Studio – also received an Award for Interior Architecture. Designed by EH McMichael in 1916 the Darling Building had fallen into disrepair until WBL as part investor and key tenant rejuvenated the building to its current iteration as an alternative workplace offering within the city.<\/p>\n
Larger scale projects including the Adelaide Health and Medical Sciences Building, the Adelaide Convention Centre Redevelopment East and The Royal Adelaide Hospital were awarded and commended for having worked hard with their scale and unavoidable monumentality to still engage with the public realm and focus on people through their interior design. As Chapter President Mario Dreosti noted \u2018the projects have embraced architecture as a vehicle and a process to bring benefit which is greater than creation of the icon or the pursuit of client only benefit.\u2019<\/p>\n
In a pleasing symmetry Max Pritchard, LFRAIA received the Jack Cheesman Award for Enduring Architecture for the Pritchard House (1990), while his daughter Tess Pritchard received a commendation for her home in the Residential Architecture \u2013 Houses (New) and the Sustainable Architecture categories.<\/p>\n
A total of 38 Named Awards, Awards and Commendations were presented on the night from a field of 69 entries. Named Award and Award winners will now progress to the National Architecture Awards to be announced in Melbourne in November.<\/p>\n
