Jury citation
“The Jury recognises Murrook Cultural Centre as an exemplar of embedded First Nations co-design and innovative adaptive reuse that embodies the spirit of Country and Culture. This significant cultural project demonstrates how architecture can operate as a framework for Indigenous self-determination, knowledge sharing and care for Country. The Jury commends the long-term community-led process, adaptive reuse strategy and integration of cultural narrative into every spatial and material decision, establishing a powerful model for socially, environmentally and culturally grounded civic architecture with impactful outcomes.”
This year’s awards are presented under the theme Design that Leads - At a time of unprecedented social, environmental and technological change, this year’s theme recognises that good design is more than an outcome, it is a powerful way of thinking, imagining and acting. It challenges us to question what is, envision what could be and design better products, services, places and systems for people and planet.
