World Architecture Festival Awards 2018: Winners
The tenth edition of the World Architecture Festival has wrapped up in Amsterdam with a number of Australian firms recognised in their respective categories.
The three-day conference saw some of the world's leading architects awarded from a record shortlist of 535 projects divided into two categories: completed buildings and future projects.
Shortlisted architects from 57 countries presented to live juries over the three-day conference, which culminated in the announcement of the 2018 World Building of the Year, WOHA's Kampung Admiralty in Singapore.
The 11-storey retirement community comprises public housing for seniors, integrated with healthcare, wellness and eldercare facilities, and a childcare centre.
Australia was well-represented with five projects receiving recognition in their respective categories.
Maitland Riverlink by Chrofi and McGregor Coxall was judged the winner of the civic and community – completed buildings category while the Piano Mill by Conrad Gargett was judged the winner of the culture – completed buildings category.
John Wardle Architects’ Captain Kelly was also highly commended in the villa – completed buildings category.
The Australian Embassy Bangkok by BVN was awarded the winner of the civic, culture and transport category.
