An inspiring collection of students, emerging architects and professional leaders have\u00a0been honoured at the 2014 Australian Achievement in Architecture Awards presentation\u00a0ceremony in Hobart on Thursday 20 March.<\/p>\n

The annual awards recognise and reward outstanding contributions in the fields of\u00a0architecture and the built environment across a range of expertise including leadership,\u00a0sustainability, education and advancement.<\/p>\n

Phil Harris<\/strong> and Adrian Welke<\/strong>, co-founders of Troppo, have\u00a0been selected as the 2014 recipients of the Australian Institute of Architects\u2019 highest honour, the Gold Medal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Driven by a desire to produce socially responsible architecture, the pair founded Troppo in Darwin in 1980, and have since grown the practice to include offices in Perth, Adelaide, Townsville and Byron Bay cultivating a portfolio of over 2500 projects ranging from tiny remote buildings to full-scale city design.<\/p>\n

\u2018Troppo\u2019s work pioneers a unique and special Australian approach to architecture: irreverent but sophisticated, inventive with a tinge of larrikin spirit.\u00a0In 34 years of practice they have evolved an architecture that deals with the heat, the rain, the place and subtleties of climate, while understanding and reviving the lessons of the Top End\u2019s important history and legacy of projects,\u2019 Paul Berkemeier, National President and Jury Chair said.<\/p>\n

Troppo\u2019s work spans the continent and is extensively recognised, including numerous state and national residential awards and the 1994 Sir Zelman Cowen Award for Public Buildings for the Bowali Visitors Centre in Kakadu, a joint project with past Gold Medallist Glenn Murcutt. In 2010, at a ceremony in Paris, Troppo were the recipients of the Global Sustainable Architecture Award.<\/p>\n

Their ethos epitomises the importance of building for place and people: producing work that is sympathetic to the land, using locally relevant materials to create settings that work for the informal Australian lifestyle.\u00a0In addition to their built work, Adrian and Phil have been committed to the role of the\u00a0profession as agents of change: enthusing, educating and influencing people\u2019s views on\u00a0architecture and its position in society. They have supported, mentored and educated\u00a0many students and graduates, helping to develop new generations of architects and\u00a0collaborators.<\/p>\n

The 2014 National President\u2019s Prize<\/strong> was posthumously awarded to Ross Langdon<\/strong> who\u00a0was senselessly murdered in the brutal terrorist attack on a Nairobi shopping centre in\u00a0September last year.<\/p>\n

\u2018Ross was a talented architect and an inspirational leader who left a great legacy and\u00a0example for all the profession. He was already well on the way to shaping a better world\u00a0future as a great Australian and exceptional world citizen,\u2019 National President Paul\u00a0Berkemeier said.<\/p>\n

Sydney architect and winner of the 2013 J\u00f8rn Utzon Award for International Architecture,\u00a0Andrew Burns<\/strong>, received the National Emerging Architect Prize<\/strong> for \u2018his extensive\u00a0involvement in local, international, public and industry engagement and his considered\u00a0and thoughtful body of work showing an incredibly high standard of excellence,\u2019 the jury\u00a0noted.<\/p>\n

The jury selected John Macdonald<\/strong> from DesignInc in Melbourne as the winner of the\u00a0Leadership in Sustainability Prize<\/strong>. John Macdonald has made an outstanding contribution\u00a0over the last 35 years in the design and delivery of a wide range of innovative projects\u00a0that have pushed the boundaries of sustainable design and energy management.<\/p>\n

In recognition of his internationally renowned research and teaching in heritage and\u00a0conservation, Professor Emeritus Miles Lewis AM<\/strong> from the Faculty of Architecture,\u00a0Building and Planning at the University of Melbourne was honoured with the 2014 Neville\u00a0Quarry Architectural Prize<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

An asset to both the local and global design community, HY William Chan<\/strong> from the\u00a0University of Sydney was a most outstanding candidate and a very worthy recipient for\u00a0the 2014 Student Prize for the Advancement of Architecture<\/strong>. The Bachelor of Design in\u00a0Architecture graduate’s contribution to the architecture industry, the broader community and interdisciplinary initiatives associated with sustainable design and emergency humanitarian aid work has been extensive.<\/p>\n

Architectural editors, critics, writers and publishers Haig Beck<\/strong> and Jacqui Cooper<\/strong> were selected as recipients of the William J Mitchell International Committee Prize<\/strong> in honour of their significant contribution to the profession, study and advancement of architecture beyond our shores.<\/p>\n

Five talented emerging architects from New South Wales and Victoria will participate in an architectural tour of Chicago, Pittsburgh and New York on the 2014 Dulux Study Tour<\/strong>. Jenna Rowe<\/strong>, Suzannah Waldron<\/strong>, Michael Zanardo<\/strong>, Ben Milbourne<\/strong> and Cherry Williamson<\/strong> have been rewarded for their hard work and enthusiasm for the profession.<\/p>\n

The COLORBOND\u00ae Steel Student Biennale<\/strong>, which acknowledges outstanding works of design by architecture students across Australia, was presented to Jessica Chidester<\/strong> of RMIT University. Commendations were awarded to Ben Juckes<\/strong>, University of Western Australia, and Doug McNamara<\/strong>, University of Newcastle.<\/p>\n
