Seventeen outstanding projects were recognized at the 2014 Tasmanian Architecture Awards from the Australian Institute of Architects, presented on Saturday 21 June at MONA.
For its contribution to the public waterfront domain of Hobart, The University of Tasmania’s Institute for Marine & Antarctic Studies earnt its design team of John Wardle Architects + Terroir (in association) five awards across the categories of Public, Sustainable, Interior, Steel Architecture and Urban Design. For its skilful placemaking, the jury observed: “Locating IMAS in Sullivans Cove resonates powerfully with the city’s historic Antarctic connections, while its detail thoughtfully evokes the patterning of the Antarctic wilderness.”
At the other end of the scale, the Peter Willmott Award for Small Project Architecture went to Bicheno Surf Life Saving Club, a pro bono project by Birrelli Art + Design + Architecture. The jury noted: “It could have been a tin shed but thanks to a brave community and a talented architectural team, it is much more.”
All projects receiving a named award or an architecture award progress to the 2014 National Architecture Awards to be announced in Darwin on 6 November.
