Jury comment

Darwin Civic and State Square Masterplan demonstrates an exemplary place-specific approach to revitalizing a cultural centre. The use of local and traditional knowledge results in a sensitive approach to both contemporary and ancient cultures. Heat mitigation research guides the creation of a series of spaces that locals and visitors will be able to use throughout Darwin’s dry and wet seasons.
