Optus Stadium has been presented the most esteemed accolade, the George Temple Poole Award, at the Australian Institute of Architects\u2019 2018 WA Architecture Awards.<\/p>\n
Designed as a joint venture by HASSELL, COX and HKS, the Stadium has been recognised as a city-defining architectural icon, offering a fan\u2019s first experience for Western Australian sport and entertainment events.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Optus Stadium project excels as an outstanding example of a multi-sports and entertainment infrastructure, creating an iconic architectural entry statement to the city,\u201d the jury said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe facade delivers the gravitas of a global city destination without sacrificing user experience. Visitors are drawn to the structure and reap the benefits of the thoughtful, holistic approach to arrival, navigation, experience and departure.\u201d<\/p>\n
Taking out five Named Awards on the night, Optus Stadium was also recognised with The Jeffrey Howlett Award for Public Architecture, The Wallace Greenham Award for Sustainable Architecture, The Mondoluce Lighting Award and The COLORBOND\u00ae Award for Steel Architecture.<\/p>\n
Honouring excellence in the design and construction industry, the Awards were held on Friday, June 29 at the spectacular St George\u2019s Cathedral.<\/p>\n
The Cadogan Song School by Palassis Architects was the recipient of The Margaret Pitt Morison Award for Heritage as well as The Julius Elischer Award for Interior Architecture.<\/p>\n
The jury were impressed with the deceptively simple yet elegant solution to an intricate puzzle. The project masterfully resolves the connection between three significant yet entirely separate heritage buildings, dealing with complex level changes and a technically challenging acoustic brief with simplicity and precision.<\/p>\n
Amongst an impressive group of urban projects in the 2018 awards, the Scarborough Beach Pool by Christou Design Group was the recipient of The John Septimus Roe Award for Urban Design.<\/p>\n
Providing a community-focused transition between urban and recreational landscapes, the pool enhances the public realm through the exceptional use of spaces, levels, technical requirements, services and views.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 2018 WA Architecture Awards demonstrate the versatility and accessibility of architects, their broad experience, and the contribution they make to the wider built environment,\u201d said Suzanne Hunt, WA President, Australian Institute of Architects.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot only have we seen an impressive selection of larger public projects recognised in the awards this year, but on a smaller scale, the calibre of residential winners is a testament to the way in which architects incorporate quality design into our everyday lives.\u201d<\/p>\n
Defining Western Australia as an internationally recognisable destination is paramount to the future of the state, and as such, we were delighted to award Optus Stadium by HASSELL, COX and HKS the highest honour at this year\u2019s Awards.\u201d<\/p>\n
All Western Australian Named and Architecture Award winners will progress to the Australian Institute of Architects National Awards to be judged against the very best architectural works in the country.<\/p>\n
