Felixstow Reserve — Aspect Studios and Oxigen JURY COMMENT

A key driver for the overall design narrative of this significant open space in Adelaide was a fallen river red gum located on the banks of Fourth Creek/ Marriyarta Pari. The tree was used to make a bark canoe more than two hundred years ago and provides an important link to the traditional use of the area.

Consideration, preservation and celebration of the site’s natural features and local history have resulted in a great outcome for the Kaurna people and for the broader community.

Monash University Eastern Precinct Landscape – TCL JURY COMMENT

The public realm is the binding element of Monash University’s campus in

Clayton, Victoria, and the eastern precinct enriches the campus experience. A large lawn at the heart of the precinct is flanked by a designed Australian temperate forest. An elevated promenade and two shared pedestrian/bicycle connections stitch the site to the broader campus.

The project provides huge benefit as a liveable green space for a dense population of users and its design exemplifies successful navigation of the spatial experience beyond the visual finish.
