ARCHITECTURAL FOCUS
A complex graphical project , nicely done .
Working with simple tools like water jet-cut aluminum , laser-cut acrylic , and addictive tactile printing , the system devises a straightforward aesthetic that begins with the building ’ s frontage and continues through every room along one ’ s journey .
The most narrative moment of the system is the atrium ’ s History Wall , which showcases a curated selection of historic images from the surrounding neighbourhood , from pre-colonial Indigenous activity through to the many diverse populations that have called this site home .
“ A complex graphical project , nicely done ,” said Piero Lissoni , Founder and Design Principal , Lissoni & Partners , and AZ Awards 2024 Juror .
