From a record 51 entries, the jury awarded 35 Awards and Commendations at the 2014 ACT Architecture Awards on Saturday 14 June at the recently refurbished REX Hotel.<\/p>\n
For the second year in a row, Tonkin Zulaikha Greer\u2019s (TZG) National Arboretum has been honoured at the ACT Awards. Following on from the 2013 Romaldo Giurgola Award for Public Architecture for the Village Centre, TZG along with Taylor Cullity Lethlean have taken out the 2014 Sir John Overall Award for Urban Design and the chapter\u2019s highest accolade, the Canberra Medallion.<\/p>\n
\u2018The National Arboretum has transformed a devastated site into a major education, research and recreation venue for the National Capital. The seamlessly collaborative architecture and landscape teams have established a significant green heart for Canberra.<\/p>\n
\u2018An important local initiative with national and international benefits already evident, it is a most worthy recipient of the 2014 Canberra Medallion,\u2019 the jury said.<\/p>\n
Apostolic Nunciature 1976\u20131977 by past Gold Medallist Enrico Taglietti received the Award for Enduring Architecture. Built to accommodate diplomatic representatives of the Holy See, the Apostolic Nunciature received several RAIA (ACT) merit awards soon after its completion and Mr Taglietti was awarded a Papal Knighthood of St Gregory the Great in recognition of his design.<\/p>\n
\u2018The 2014 Award for Enduring Architecture acknowledges the way the building has served its purpose well and has been cared for in a loving manner. The architect deserves credit for the strength and appropriateness of his high quality original design,\u2019 the jury noted.<\/p>\n
Other notable winners on the night include Australian National University Australian Centre on China in the World by Munns Sly Moore in association with Mo Atelier Szeto which took home the Romaldo Giurgola Award for Public Architecture, Art in Architecture Prize and an INLITE Light in Architecture Prize \u2013 Commendation. Hotel Hotel by March Studio also received multiple recognitions with the W Hayward Morris Award for Interior Architecture and an Art in Architecture Prize.<\/p>\n
The top residential prize, the Malcolm Moir and Heather Sutherland Award for Residential Architecture \u2013 Houses (New), was presented to Rodney Moss in association with Ken Murtagh and Pip Smith for The Mook.<\/p>\n
\u2018The Mook is highly detailed and beautifully crafted and a successful essay in the provision of flexible housing choice that has been delivered in a delightful and bespoke pavilion,\u2019 reflected the jury.<\/p>\n
Projects that received a Named Award or an Architecture Award now progress to the 2014 National Architecture Awards to be announced in Darwin on 6 November.<\/p>\n
