The Australian Institute of Architects Gold Medal is the highest honour the Institute can bestow. The award was created in 1960 to recognise distinguished service by Australian architects who have designed or executed buildings of high merit; produced work of great distinction resulting in the advancement of architecture or endowed the profession of architecture in a distinguished manner. On Thursday 4 March, we'll come together to meet and hear from John Wardle, winner of the 2020 Gold Medal Prize, over breakfast.
JOHN WARDLE, JOHN WARDLE ARCHITECTS
The ‘Architect’s Architect’ John Wardle was announced as the 2020 Australian Institute of Architects Gold Medallist. John is an awarded designer of consummate skill, whose works, from the smallest intricate piece of joinery to complex high-rise buildings receive detailed attention and conscientious formal experiment. His works celebrate both individual craft and the broader production processes of making a building. John has re-positioned the role of the architect as chief designer in the process of making a building. His projects and accolades are the outcome of a successful studio-based collaborative practice where design excellence takes prime position in every project. With more than three decades of developing his skills to often address competing agendas, John has created a practice of national stature and international repute.
This event is $10 for members of the Institute of Architects, and $20 for non-members. Registration is essential. Please contact emagnnsw@architecture.com.au for any inquiries.
