The 2015 Northern Territory Architecture Awards were announced on Friday 12 June in Darwin.
Eleven projects were recognized by the Australian Institute of Architects. Susan Dugdale and Associates was the most awarded practice of the night, taking home the top gong, the Tracy Memorial Medal, as well as two additional awards, for Alice Springs CBD Revitalization.
The jury commended the project for its “potential to increase public enjoyment, vibrancy and cultural engagement and most positively shape the future of Alice.”
All projects recognized with an award or named award will proceed to the National Architecture Awards to be announced on 5 November 2015.
On the jury were: Kerry Clare (chair, Clare Design), Robert Foote (former NT Government Architect) and the Honourable Sally Thomas AC (former Administrator of the Northern Territory).
