Jury Overview

This is the first year for Named Awards in the ACT, which recognize the projects “most significant for the advancement of architecture”. The jury’s deliberations on these awards were lengthy and rigorous, requiring us to interrogate what was meant by “excellence” and throwing a reflective light on our own experiences as practitioners. The actual encounter with each built work gave an appreciation informed by being “in” a space, and an opportunity for the jury to reconcile the architect’s perspective with the client’s experience. The sheer enthusiasm of many clients for the process and the finished work was a re-occurring theme – works judged to be “significant” are often underpinned by a genuine collaboration between client, architect and builder, where a vision and aspiration to achieve the extraordinary is shared by all three.
Bronwen Jones (jury chair)

Jury Overview

With ESD now an integral part of architecture, the strongest theme this year was projects that responded strongly and intelligently to site conditions. This especially explains the strength, innovation and diversity of single houses – best expressed in the Neeson Murcutt Whale Beach House. Tectonic and unconventional forms coupled with uncovered materials left to gracefully weather figured strongly, with exceptional expression in Candalepas Associates’ All Saints Primary School, James Stockwell’s Snowy Mountains House, and Collins and Turner’s Two Beach Houses at Boomerang Beach. These, and the other award-winning projects, set the standard for future achievement and demonstrate a way forward.
