The 2015 WA Architecture Awards were announced on 3 July at the Crown Perth’s Grand Ballroom.
The Australian Institute of Architects recognized 44 projects. Among them, the state’s highest honour, the George Temple Pool Award was given to the Fiona Stanley Hospital by the Fiona Stanley Hospital Design Collaboration (comprising Hassell, Hames Sharley and Silver Thomas Hanley).
“[This] is a landmark project in all senses and achieves a high standard of design, integrating architecture and landscape architecture,” commented the jury. “The Fiona Stanley Hospital was an ambitious State project and has demonstrated a high level of achievement and will continue to do so into the future as the site is further developed to its envisaged full potential.”
The Fiona Stanley Hospital also topped the state in Public and Sustainable Architecture categories.
In 2015, the Institute’s WA Chapter handed out an Enduring Architecture Award for the first time. The inaugural winner was Council House by Howlett and Bailey Architects – an exemplary piece of Modernist civic architecture.
Winners of named awards and architecture awards will progress to the National Architecture Awards to be announced in Brisbane on 5 November 2015.
