Victoria’s best projects announced at architecture awards

Victoria’s leading architects have been honoured by the Australian Institute of Architect’s  2018 Victorian Architecture Awards, with the education and public architecture projects dominating in multiple categories this year.

The awards were announced at a dinner hosted by the Victorian Chapter of the Australian Institute of Architects on Friday 29 June. Across 14 different categories, a total of 66 awards were given at the event, including named awards, architecture awards and commendations from the 108 shortlisted projects.

RMIT University’s New Academic Street took home the prestigious Victorian Architecture Medal along with the Joseph Reed Award for Urban Design, The Henry Bastow Award for Educational Architecture, architecture awards for Interior Architecture and Sustainable Architecture and a joint winner of the Melbourne Prize. The project was a collaboration designed by Lyons with NMBW Architecture Studio, Harrison and White, MvS Architects and Maddison Architects.

The Urban Design jury believed the project is a vital element in connecting the RMIT campus to the city and places an emphasis on the successful collaboration between architects involved in the project. “The collaboration of architects involved in this project has been a highly effective way to bring diversity and richness, and to avoid the single author approach that often marks similar projects,” commented Jury Chair, James Legge.

“Existing buildings from various eras have been excavated and incised to create arcade-like connections and internal streets. The effect has been to stitch RMIT into the surrounding city fabric, allowing the public in and creating dynamic and engaging environments for the students and staff. The project provides a critical piece of urban design for this area of the city,” he said.

Other big winners include Nightingale 1 by Breathe Architecture, Victorian College of the Arts former Mounted Police Stables by Kerstin Thompson Architects and Koondrook Wharf by TERROIR, all of which obtained recognition across three categories on the night.

The Enduring Architecture Award, (which recognises structures over 25 years old that remain important in a contemporary context) was awarded to the Yarra Footbridge at Southbank, which also ties into this year’s theme of the public realm.

“We are celebrating the significant contribution that architecture brings to the everyday lives of people and to the evolution of our cities and townships throughout Victoria. The awards also acknowledge the strong collaboration between clients and architects required to deliver carefully considered and robust buildings and public realm interventions. The projects included in the awards program define a broad and rich example of architecture within our state. It is wonderful to see these projects recognised and I extend my congratulations to all of our very deserving winners,” commented Victorian Chapter President Amy Muir, on the diverse range of high-quality architecture that has been displayed throughout the state.

“Victorians understand the value of good design and the enormous benefits [high-quality architecture] brings to building engaged and resilient communities. The award-winning architects are not prepared to accept the status quo and have worked incredibly hard to deliver outstanding contributions to our state’s architecture and infrastructure landscape,” Muir explained.

Projects that received an architecture award or named award will progress to compete in the National Architecture Awards program. The shortlist is set to be announced within the coming months.
