Forty-four projects (from 240 entries) were recognized at the 2013 Victorian Architecture Awards from the Australian Institute of Architects, presented on Friday 21 June at Central Pier, Docklands. Education arenas excelled this year with the RMIT Design Hub by Sean Godsell Architects with Peddle Thorp Architects receiving the state’s top two awards – the Victorian Architecture Medal, and the Willam Wardell Award for Public Architecture. The nearby Swanston Academic Building by Lyons was also awarded for public architecture, as was Penleigh and Essendon Grammar Senior School by McBride Charles Ryan.
