<\/a>While primarily home to offices of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, the Urban Design jury noted that Darling Quarter is also a major urban revitalisation project for Daring Harbour. For the jury, the project sets \u2018a new benchmark in intelligent place making\u2019 by transforming the public domain through delivering a series of defined public spaces including a pedestrian linkage from the city, a generous public promenade and parkland, and a dynamic playground for the young and old alike.<\/p>\n
In presenting the Milo Dunphy Award, the Sustainable Architecture jury said \u2018while its sustainability credentials as a commercial building are strong in isolation; as a precinct, it is transformative\u2019. In addition, the Commercial Architecture jury noted that \u2018Darling Quarter precinct represents the potential for change in the behaviour of how people work\u2019.<\/p>\n
In awarding her inaugural prize, City of Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore said the project \u2018revives the quarter with urbanity, flair and credibility, and provides an exemplary integration of work and recreation spaces\u2019.<\/p>\n
