FRI 5 JULY \u2013Winners of the 2019 New South Wales (NSW) Architecture Awards have been announced, honouring the state\u2019s leading architecture, with public projects dominating across multiple categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Across 12 categories, 51 awards were given including named awards, architecture awards andcommendations from 97 shortlisted projects and 212 entries. Awards were also given to outstanding public and commercial projects across the NSW Architecture Medallion, 2019 NSW Premier\u2019s Prize, 2019 City of Sydney Lord Mayor\u2019s Prize, Blacket Prize and Enduring Award categories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The winners were announced at a dinner hosted in Sydney by the NSW Chapter of the Australian Institute of Architects on Friday 5 July. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The prestigious NSW Architecture Medallion, honouring an exemplary project across all awards categories, was given to Maitland Riverlink by CHROFI with McGregor Coxall for illustrating the power of architecture in the civic realm by improving connectivity between the Hunter River and the main street of Maitland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Peter Poulet, Chair of Juries for this year\u2019s NSW awards program, describes the Maitland Riverlink project as an architectural centrepiece that improves connectivity and celebrates the history, value and ambition of Maitland in regional NSW. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018A strong civic gesture, this building acts as a public living room, attracting and celebrating the coming together of the community. The town and its river and proves the power of public architecture to deliver change, celebration and a legacy for the future,\u2019 says Poulet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another one of the evening\u2019s most recognised projects was Green Square Library and Plaza by Studio Hollenstein in association with Stewart Architecture and HASSELL, which took four awards including the John Verge Award for Interior Architecture, two architecture awards across the Public Architecture and Urban Design categories and the 2019 NSW Premier\u2019s Prize. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sandra Furtado, Jury Chair for Interior Architecture and Commercial Architecture, acknowledged that the Green Square Library and Plaza reflected the integral role libraries are playing in supporting a city\u2019s social infrastructure.
\u2018It is immediately obvious that this library is loved by its staff and the wider community \u2013 this building is already the vibrant heart of the community,\u2019 says Furtado.
NSW Chapter President Kathlyn Loseby says that the awards are a time to reflect and celebrate the role that great architecture plays across the state. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018The strength of our industry and its impact on the places we live is undeniably positive and at times revolutionary. Today we celebrate with our clients, consultants and contractors who helped make these projects come to life, and for the fortunate people who live, work and play in these environments which are designed to stand the test of time,\u2019 says Loseby. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Loseby also highlighted the invaluable connection between good procurement practices and great design outcomes, a theme which resonated throughout this year\u2019s winning projects. \u2018Good design is far more than aesthetic achievement \u2013 it takes collaboration amongst willing clients, good builders and appropriate procurement methods to make it an enduring success,\u2019 says Loseby. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018The awards celebrate achievement and reward the best of 2019, it is an annual review of our professional output, our capacity, as well as our skills, potential and vision for a better built environment,\u2019 adds Poulet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Projects that received an architecture award or a named award will now progress to compete in the National Architecture Awards program. The shortlist will be announced by the Australian Institute of Architects in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
