2019 Queensland Architecture Awards

The Australian Institute of Architects has announced the winners of the Queensland Architecture Awards.

The winners were selected from a 62-project-strong shortlist composed of all of the winners and commended projects from the regional awards program.

Paul Trotter, Queensland chapter president of the Australian Institute of Architects, said, “Architecture has the unique ability to impact upon people’s lives and create a legacy for future generations, this year’s award winners can all be proud of that achievement.”

Among the big winners of the evening was the the QUT Creative Industries Precinct 2 by Richard Kirk Architect and Hassell (architects in association), which won three named awards in the Educational Architecture, Heritage and Interior Architecture Categories.

“Pushing the boundaries of educational architecture, the building is designed to cross-pollinate the various art disciplines with verandas flanking stacked teaching and performing studios, providing a shared experience,” said the awards jury.

“Corner windows to the studios provide views to these spaces, allowing a holistic engagement with dance, music and fashion, which brings the student work to the public realm.”

Elsewhere, Bates Smart’s 25 King office tower scooped named awards in the Sustainable Architecture and Commercial Architecture categories.

“This building illustrates the potential for more sustainable alternative structural systems to sit confidently within the urban context, catalysing conversations about how and with what we build,” the jury said.

The winners of awards and named awards will progress to the National Architecture Awards to be announced on 7 November.
