A total of 55 awards were presented by the Australian Institute of Architects in a ceremony today at the Sydney Opera House. Projects were recognised from each Australian state and territory, including a copper-clad medical centre in Tasmania, a community centre in Sydney with plant-covered trellis walls and a weathered steel kiosk on the beach in Torquay, Victoria.

"We were thrilled to see so many buildings and places that were engaging with social impacts beyond their immediate brief, offering something really significant to society at a higher level - architecture which is not merely responsible, but which is generous," said architect Shelley Penn, who chaired the awards jury.

Housing projects chosen included a residence designed as a cross between an archaeological site and playground, and a social housing complex that looks like a pile of single-storey homes.

Awards also went to a prison modelled on a utopian Aboriginal community, an office block that curls around a large public park and a series of paths and pavilions along and across the Derwent River.

"These projects offer a legacy of positive urban spaces, connections and approaches that will influence how their cities function and are perceived," added Penn.
