The Australian Institute of Landscape Architects has announced the winners of the 2016 Queensland Architecture Awards.
AILA granted 14 awards across 11 categories including civic landscape, parks and open space, infrastructure, conservation, tourism, urban design, communities and gardens, acknowledging the best projects in design, planning and delivery of parks, and green and urban spaces across the state.
The increasing challenge of climate change was apparent in this year’s winning projects, demonstrating a shift towards climate-conscious design as a core value necessity.
“The result of a dynamic engagement and collaboration with clients, communities and cultures, and between the public and private sectors, this year’s submissions illustrate the critical role of landscape planning a design as catalysts for expressing community identity, sense of place, and for energising local economies,” the jury said.
Projects that received an Award of Excellence or a Landscape Architecture Award at the state level will advance to the national awards later this year. One project will be awarded the best landscape architecture project in Australia.
