23.01.2022 Commendation for Public Architecture - 2020 National Architecture Awards State Library Victoria Redevelopment | Architectus + Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects | VIC |Traditional Land Owners: Boon Wurrung and Woiwurrung peoples of the Kulin Nation | Trevor Mein Congratulations ... Jury citation: The State Library Victoria is Australia’s oldest and busiest public library. The Vision 2020 redevelopment addressed ageing buildings, changing needs and confusing circulation through a skilful and sound design framework that will expand the library’s reach and relevance for many generations to come. The redevelopment has brought together and clarified a conglomeration of 23 buildings, unlocking and transforming 15 spaces for public use. It has created new connections and reinstated the through-block link and Russell Street entry to enhance legibility and access. Public space has been increased by 40 percent, expanding the possibilities of the library’s functions. Interiors have been stripped of years of building clutter to reveal their original character, in turn, opening up more usable spaces for contemporary research and learning. While remaining respectful of the earlier built fabric, new design elements introduce a fresh and contemporary language, further enhancing the visitor experience in this popular community hub. #NatAwards20 #australianarchitecture #architecture #architectureawards

22.01.2022 For Kosloff Architecture, going carbon neutral was about walking the talk. If they wanted to tell their clients they should go for the highest possible standard, then it made sense to be there alongside them on the journey.

21.01.2022 The Sir Zelman Cowen Award for Public Architecture - Joint Winner - 2020 National Architecture Awards Anzac Memorial Centenary Extension | Johnson Pilton Walker with the Government Architect NSW | NSW | Traditional Land Owners: Gadigal and Darug peoples of the Eora Nation | Peter Bennetts Congratulations ... Jury citation: The Anzac Memorial Centenary Extension has provided the Anzac Memorial with much-needed exhibition and education facilities, and reasserted its prominence in Sydney’s Hyde Park with a new forecourt and water cascade, a t the 1930s vision of the memorial’s architect, C. Bruce Dellit. The memorial is an admired landmark but the original vision of cascading fountains to the south of the memorial had remained unrealized, until now. The Centenary Extension looks beyond the brief to transform a subterranean extension into an integrated visitor experience. It takes the visitor on a journey from the bustling street down to a new formal court, the Hall of Service, the new facilities, and the original memorial halls beyond. This is a processional journey of the senses. The water cascade progressively dampens the city noise to focus the visitor on the essential nature of the memorial; the daylight through the courtyard oculus transforms the space throughout the days and seasons of the year; and the textural qualities achieved through the interplay of a refined palette of materials result in a respectful conversation with the original memorial. In deference to the original pairing of Dellit and artist George Rayner Hoff, a collaboration between artist Fiona Hall and design architect Richard Johnson results in a singular experience of art and architecture. Collaboration between Johnson Pilton Walker and the Government Architect NSW made the project possible, including the adept execution of the enormous community project to gather earth from all corners of New South Wales and battle sites overseas to complete the artist’s vision. The Anzac Memorial Centenary Extension fulfils both traditional and contemporary architectural demands, artfully reinterpreting Dellit’s vision and reconnecting visitors with the Anzac spirit of collaboration and community in a living memorial fit for the twenty-first century. #NatAwards20 #australianarchitecture #architecture #architectureawards

18.01.2022 After going carbon neutral, CO-AP (Architects) found that discussions about sustainability options organically came up with clients and consultants. It was often the little ‘No Co2’ logo in their emails that initiated those conversations.

13.01.2022 It’s time to step inside and appreciate the skill of these four projects shortlisted for Interior Architecture in the 2021 National Architecture Awards. You’ll notice, in particular, the thoughtful play between natural and artificial light on different textures that is all too often missing when an architect isn’t involved in the design.

07.01.2022 Commendation for Public Architecture - 2020 National Architecture Awards Parks Victoria Albert Park Office and Depot | Harrison and White with Archier | VIC | Traditional Land Owners: Wurundjeri-willam people of the Kulin Nation | Peter Bennetts Congratulations ... Jury citation: This project has transformed a utilitarian parks depot into an engaging public building. Located in Melbourne’s Albert Park, the building is organized around a central courtyard, providing a welcoming orientation space for park visitors while accommodating depot functions behind. Airy and light-filled office spaces on the level above enjoy a green outlook from every window. A stacked program has enabled a minimal-footprint building that delivers high amenity and low impact. The exposed concrete and timber structure is lean, yet carefully composed to maximum effect, with upturned perimeter beams doubling as window seats internally and planters on the outside face. With the adept integration of greenery to shade, cool and screen spaces, structures and windows, the exterior is further animated and effortlessly settles the building into its parkland setting. #NatAwards20 #australianarchitecture #architecture #architectureawards
