He has been instrumental in steering award-winning projects, nurturing young architects, and advocating for gender and diversity equity. Ben's contributions aren't limited to his profession; he has actively shared his knowledge as a tutor and received recognition like the Byera Hadley Traveling Scholarship and Dulux Study Tour. Notably, he led the SaveOurSirius movement, successfully preserving a significant building against development forces in NSW.

Scott Flett is an exceptional practitioner and a worthy recipient of the 2023 Tasmanian Emerging Architect Award. His commitment to innovation is to be revered, as is his willingness to share knowledge for the benefit of all architects and the advancement of the profession. This is further evidenced through his involvement with the Australian Institute of Architects as Tasmanian co-chair of the Emerging Architects and Graduate Network (EmAGN), his contribution to the Institute’s technical working groups, and in establishing COVID-19 safe work health and safety construction guidelines that has helped enable the industry to continue working safely throughout the pandemic. Scott’s construction and architecture background has armed him with an excellent design aptitude and technical application from the macro to the micro. This is displayed through the design, development, fabrication and installation of his patented and multi award-winning 'Flett Flashing'. His ability to cross-fertilise beyond the immediate orbit of architecture into aligned creative and technical disciplines is demonstrated through international industry citations and various media platforms, highlighting his capacity and leadership in the architectural profession and beyond. Scott is a highly intelligent and motivated character who has demonstrated the foundations of a successful and highly researched way of practising architecture and is an outstanding advocate for the architectural profession.
