The Australian Institute of Architects has announced the winners of the prestigious NSW Architecture Awards, including the first ever recipient of the NSW Architecture Medallion for \u2018best in show\u2019. Winning projects demonstrate design excellence, innovative thinking and among them are highly sensitive responses to the past as well as new visions of how we can live well, work well, learn and play well.<\/p>\n
The winner of the Medallion is selected from recipients of the named award in each category. \u2018There were several very strong contenders for the Medallion,\u2019 said Andrew Nimmo, NSW Chapter President. \u2018Ultimately, the jury chose a very worthy project, The Joynton Avenue Creative Precinct by Peter Stutchbury Architecture in association with Design 5 – Architects for the City of Sydney, which also took out the Greenway Prize for Heritage.\u2019<\/p>\n
A beautifully rounded project, The Joynton Avenue Creative Precinct is the result both of a potent collaboration between its architect and heritage architect, and of a client-architect relationship that allowed the investigation of the brief to deliver a memorable public facility and a suite of community buildings as part of the City\u2019s wider urban program of place making.<\/p>\n
Sulman Medal winner Punchbowl Mosque by Candalepas Associates emerged as another outstanding public architecture project. In its remarkable, sensuous ensemble of spaces, sound reflects and light and shadow play against the mosque\u2019s concrete and timber forms to create a compelling sense of the sacred.<\/p>\n
Residential awards and commendations this year demonstrated achievements of design excellence at modest scales across diverse housing types, through careful integration with the existing landscape and through explorations of how we might live with comfort and amenity in densely populated urban areas.<\/p>\n
The small footprint of Peter Stutchbury Architecture\u2019s Cabbage Tree House is a commentary on distended dwelling size, while the reminiscence of a forgotten Australian suburbia distilled in TRIAS\u2019s first house project, Three Piece House, is a reminder that architecture is not dependent on large budgets or contextual appeal to be successful. Similarly, careful rethinking of small lots and compact apartment living distinguished winners in the additions and alterations and multiple housing categories.<\/p>\n
The Aboriginal-owned and run Biripi Clinic in regional Purfleet was another modest project with a minimal budget that highlighted how architecture can be transformative at any scale. Cleverly stitching together a campus of buildings into a coherent precinct with a public presence, this important symbol of accomplishment and self-determination earned an Award for Commercial Architecture, the COLORBOND\u00ae Award for Steel Architecture and the NSW Premier\u2019s Prize.<\/p>\n
New approaches also featured among winning projects in educational architecture, which interpreted and responded to contemporary educational briefs with designs that facilitate flexible, collaborative teaching and learning environments.<\/p>\n
\u2018The NSW Architecture Awards are a celebration of design excellence. Although they are unquestionably essential to its emergence, the realisation of design excellence depends on more than the architect’s talent and industry,\u2019 said Andrew Nimmo. \u2018Procurement \u2013 the ways in which and conditions under which an architect is engaged \u2013 plays a critical part in ensuring design excellence is brought to life.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018In recognising many of the winners tonight we are celebrating what good procurement practice can mean for architects, clients and for the wider community: beautiful, functional, holistically sustainable environments for living, working, learning, healing and culture.\u2019<\/p>\n
In total the jury bestowed 69 awards and commendations. Projects that received a Named Award or Award at the NSW Architecture Awards will now progress to the National Architecture Awards to be announced in Melbourne<\/em> on Thursday 1 November<\/em>.<\/p>\n The Institute congratulates all the practices that participated in the 2018 NSW Awards program and thanks this year\u2019s jurors, who contributed their time and expertise with great generosity.<\/em><\/p>\n High resolution images and promotional summaries are available for download by registering at –<\/p>\n https:\/\/nationalarchitecture.awardsplatform.com\/register\/pLmXvznA<\/a><\/p>\n Download the Awards catalogue<\/a> including jury citations<\/p>\n <\/strong>Full list of winners: <\/strong><\/p>\n NSW Architecture Medallion \u2013 <\/strong>Joynton Avenue Creative Precinct by Peter Stutchbury Architecture in association with Design 5 – Architects for City of Sydney<\/p>\n Commercial Architecture <\/strong><\/p>\n The Sir Arthur G.
