Architects from all over the state have come together in celebration of excellence in good design at the Australian Institute of Architects\u2019 2014 Queensland Architecture Awards announced tonight at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre.<\/p>\n
\u2018Thoroughly considered and exquisitely detailed\u2019, the University of Queensland\u2019s Advanced Engineering Building (AEB) by Richard Kirk Architect and HASSELL was the big winner of the night, taking home three Named Awards.<\/p>\n
Awarding the project the FDG Stanley Award for Public Architecture, the GHM Addison Award for Interior Architecture and the Harry Marks Award for Sustainable Architecture, the jury described the collaborative effort as a \u2018significant benchmark in sustainability\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u2018The project provides teaching, research and laboratory facilities either side of a five-storey timber clad, elongated central atrium with a double glazed roof. AEB expertly embraces setting and place and has created an exemplar of engagement with renewable resources and local industry,\u2019 added the jury.<\/p>\n
Charles Wright\u2019s \u2018extraordinary response to a very personal and adventurous brief\u2019 in the Daintree, Stamp House, was well received by the jury and won the Robin Dods Award for Residential Architecture \u2013 Houses (New), the top residential award for the night.<\/p>\n
\u2018The concrete fabric chosen for permanence, robustness and thermal mass is placed on a man-made lake and shaped and patterned around its quirky personal spaces to somehow make its other worldly presence take its place in the world\u2019s oldest and most pristine landscape,\u2019 the jury reflected.<\/p>\n
Following on from the six Regional Architecture Awards, the state competition resulted in projects across all regions being honoured with the jury presenting 10 Named Awards, 13 Architecture Awards and 13 Commendations in addition to the Queensland Chapter\u2019s Art in Architecture Prize (see below for full list of winners).<\/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
