Edward Lukac continues his report of the 2016 National Architecture Conference for Architectural Window Systems by providing a summary of Day two of the event titled ‘How Soon is Now?’.
The previous evening saw several architects being honoured for their work including Peter Maddison – President’s Award; Amy Muir - Emerging Architect Award; Peter Nguyen – Student Prize; Jeremy McLeod - Sustainability Award; Brian Barr - International Award; Michael Ostwald - Neville Quarry Architectural Education Prize; Mat van Kooy, Qianyi Lim, Chris Gilbert, Katy Moir and Hannah Slater - the Dulux Study Award recipients; and 2016 Gold Medallists ARM Architecture.
The Emerging Architect Prize recognises an individual emerging architect or emerging architectural collaboration’s contribution to architectural practice, education, design excellence and community involvement, which advances the profession’s role within the public arena. Entrants need to be nominated by a member of the Australian Institute of Architects.
Day two of the conference began with the AWS EmAGN Breakfast to celebrate the EmAGN 10-year anniversary, with Edward Lukac getting an opportunity to interact with a group of emerging architects including 2015 WA Chapter winner Kylee Schoonens of the Fratelle Group.
