Judging for the 2015 ACT Architecture Awards is now underway and the jury are notably pleased with this year’s crop of projects, signalling that it is reflective of a developing Canberra.
Forty-eight entries ranging in scale from small projects such as shading devices and home additions, to new terrace housing, apartment buildings, a new urban centre and a new swimming pool for the Chinese Embassy are among the entries, which have a combined construction value of more than a billion dollars.
Australian architect and Jury Chair, Hal Guida says that the range and worth of the projects in this year’s program reflects the current sentiment towards development and growth in Canberra which is positive and community oriented.
“This year confirms Canberra as a growing and dynamic place with initiatives such as the Light rail, the new Canberra International Airport terminal, and coming developments along Constitution Avenue,” declares Guida.
“We see a dynamic global city with serious depth in what it offers. We know the best cities compete for talent. Talent looks for a mix of great city infrastructure, a real choice of housing and a thriving public life. Well, here it is,” he concludes.
Winners will be revealed on 20 June 2015 at QT Canberra, and in the lead up to the announcement, members of the public will have the opportunity to vote on their favourite projects of 2015 in the Australian Institute of Architects annual People’s Choice Award for the residential projects.
