The 2015 South Australian Architecture Awards were announced on 3 July at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre.
The Australian Institute of Architects recognized 24 projects across 12 categories. The state’s highest honour, the Jack McConnell Award for Public Architecture went to the Adelaide Oval Redevelopment by Cox Architecture, Walter Brooke and Hames Sharley.
The judges applauded the project for its “transformation from a picturesque sporting venue into a civic building, able to accommodate multiple international sports and events.”
The Adelaide Oval Redevelopment was also recognized in three additional categories including Urban Design, Interior Architecture and Steel Architecture. As well, it was jointly awarded the City of Adelaide Prize along with its neighbour, Riverbank Bridge by Tonkin Zulaikha Greer, Taylor Cullity Lethlean and Aurecon.
Winners of named awards and architecture awards will progress to the National Architecture Awards to be announced in Brisbane on 5 November 2015.
