Community-oriented projects took the top honours at the 2013 New South Wales Architecture Awards, presented by the Australian Institute of Architects on 27 June at Sydney’s historic Jones Bay Wharf. The Sulman Award for Public Architecture went to Waterloo Youth Family Community Centre by Collins and Turner Architects with City of Sydney. The centre is home to local association WEAVE (Working to Educate, Advocate, Voice and Empower) that supports the youth of this inner-Sydney suburb. Darling Quarter by Francis-Jones Morehen Thorp (fjmt) with Aspect Studios and Lend Lease took the major award for both sustainable architecture and urban design. The inner-city commercial project incorporates an extensive public promenade, pocket gardens and an interactive children’s playground, extending Darling Harbour’s successful public leisure precinct.
