2023 Victorian Premier's Design Awards Finalist

The Melbourne Holocaust Museum (MHM) has been selected as a finalist at the 2023 Victorian Premier’s Design Awards in the Architectural Design category.
The awards ‘showcase the depth of design talent in Victoria and the capability and capacity of the Victorian design industry.’

continues

Light played a central role in shaping the architecture of MHM. Linked to illumination and knowledge, light was used as a motif to create welcoming and functional spaces, especially for education, research, and events, aligning with the museum’s purpose. By using windows, skylights, and mirrors, the design ingeniously reflects the sky, clouds, rooftops, and the local context into the building.

Thanks to the jury for selecting the MHM as one of the 22 finalists.

Team Announcements

We would like to share our teams promotions and new roles, these changes reflect KTA’s priorities for 2024, increasing our capacity to design and deliver exceptional projects, ensuring our team are supported and able to increase their acumen, and finding new ways to engage with our clients and peers.

continues

Charlie Emery has been promoted to the role of Associate Principal – Engagement. Joining KTA in 2019, Charlie has successfully directed KTA’s communications, submissions, and branding efforts. Her strategic approach to business development and communication has changed the way we operate and engage with our peers and clients. Charlie has been an active and valued participant in senior leadership discussions for the last two years, and this promotion validates the work she has already been doing.

Andy Ferguson and John Hajko have been promoted to the role of Associate, having demonstrated unwavering dedication, enthusiasm, and exemplary leadership – reinforcing and extending KTA’s capacity to make meaningful and thoughtful architecture.

Andy joined KTA in 2021, and his dynamic energy and leadership on our Social Housing and Tertiary education projects has been influential in their success. His infectious energy, positivity, wit, and skill allows him to deliver exceptional project outcomes, building highly effective relationships with our clients, collaborators and teams. He has co-lead KTA’s practice studio in the master of Architecture program at RMIT for the last two years, and has been a key contributor to the development of our endorsed Reconciliation Action Plan.

John also joined KTA in 2021, initially working with the residential team on a complex residential project in Sydney. He is an architect deeply committed to his craft, and in his time at KTA has demonstrated his expertise across multiple typologies. John possesses a natural ability to support, mentor, and champion design, as evidenced by his contributions as design coordinator for KTA’s component of the Queen Victoria Market Southern Development Site project, shepherding the design intent for tower and heritage components from project inception.

We recognise the significance of Andy and John’s promotions to the future of KTA and eagerly anticipate their continued leadership and contributions within the leadership team.

In addition to these advancements, our Associate Michael Archibald, is taking on role dedicated to the management of our Quality Assurance and project delivery systems. His focus will be on the continual improvement of our documentation and delivery systems, standards and quality assurance processes, and providing support across projects with milestone reviews, technical advice, and delivery strategy.

Finally, Lynn Chew will be shifting her focus to a new role of Associate Principal – People and Culture. Lynn’s wealth of project experience combined with her first-hand knowledge of KTA’s founding culture will allow her to guide our studio, with direct responsibility for the wellbeing of our team, with a focus on ongoing professional development, mentoring and wellbeing.

2023 Dezeen Awards: Bundanon Art Museum & Bridge

We are excited to share the news that Bundanon Art Museum & Bridge received a highly commended at the 2023 Dezeen Awards in the ‘Cultural Project of the Year’ category.

continues

Excerpt
Australian practice Kerstin Thompson Architects designed additional facilities for the Bundanon Art Museum in New South Wales, including a flood bridge containing residences and educational spaces. The cluster of buildings is built to withstand the landscape’s conditions, pushing the museum underground and raising the education centre on a flood bridge.

The judges commented:
‘A series of sensitive and elegant additions to the landscape, this project responds to flood and fire risks in a way that promotes ecological awareness and creates generous spaces for living and learning.’

Thanks to the jury for recognising Bundanon and gratitude to our project team and collaborators.

KTA on Architizer A+List

Architizer has announced their A+List of ‘Top Architecture and Design Firms to Watch in 2024’ and KTA has been selected as one of the 210 architecture and design firms from around the world.

continues

The jury cited
“The output of Kerstin Thompson Architects (KTA) configures architecture as an inherently civic endeavor; to do so, each design has strong multidisciplinary foundations. Indeed, the team has forged strong relationships with engineers, emerging technology specialists and landscape and heritage consultants, and their expertise informs the approach to each project, injecting innovation and environmental sensitivity to the specificities of a given project whilst evolving the firm’s design approach for future commissions. The result is an oeuvre of sensitive, site-responsive architecture that synergize form and function with landscape, resulting in highly meaningful and resilient places.”

2023 AIA National Awards

We are so excited the Melbourne Holocaust Museum has received a Public Architecture award at the 2023 AIA National Awards this week.
Thanks to the jury: Shannon Battinsson (Chair), Shaneen Fantin, William Smart, Stephanie Kitingan and Scott Burchell

continues

The jury cited:
“A holocaust museum’s content is sensitive, and the building’s design must be approached in the right way. Here, the method is one of absolute consistency, from the strong cohesive urban form to the exhibition spaces and their connecting circulation areas.
The street facade is made from glass and clay bricks woven together, expressing the functions within and culminating in a large lantern. The new building is cast snugly over the existing heritage facade, and the two elements work beautifully together. Their combination yields a building that has gravitas and humanity, and it represents an innovative approach to the integration of heritage fabric.”

Our gratitude to Jayne Josem and the team at the Melbourne Holocaust Museum for their support over the many years. The project has been a journey starting with a design competition in 2014, and lengthy design and approvals processes before construction commencing in 2020.

And thank you to our project and extended consultant team, for their unwavering commitment.

Excerpt from magazine
What’s Behind the Facade?
“Facades have always had many roles to play. They give buildings a face, protect them from the elements, and convey meaning. As art historian Wolfgang Kemp describes, facades serve as ‘places of public self-reflection in architecture.’”

“Each of these buildings blends old and new in ways that only become apparent on closer inspection. To reveal their hidden nuances, we elaborate on their design concepts and delve into the intricacies of their facade construction.”

Tapestry Design Prize Winners

Solstice by Beth George and Emerald Wise, was announced winner of the 2023 Tapestry Design Prize for Architects.

continues

“The winning entry, Solstice, is deep, dark and moody. George and Wise designed the tapestry to reflect the need for interconnectedness and ecology, particularly emphasized in the wake of the pandemic. A bright gold thread illuminates the edge of a circular landform and resembles a lunar eclipse, while an azure thread charts a river, pool, bath and bay, each linked together by a metallic thread.”

“The competition, presented by Australian Tapestry Workshop, invited architects from around the globe to design a tapestry for a hypothetical site. This year’s site was the Bundanon Art Museum by Kerstin Thompson Architects.”

The jury panel included Jefa Greenaway (jury chair), Kerstin Thompson, Justin Hill , Christina Na-Heon Cho, Adrian Iredale, Camila Block, and José da Silva.

Samples of the finalist’s designs are currently exhibited at the Australian Tapestry Workshop, in Melbourne until September 28th.

Open Letter from 36 Design Practices

Today, members of the Architecture + Design Reconciliation Industry Network Group affirm our support of the Uluru Statement from the Heart and its call for the establishment of a First Nations Voice enshrined in the Australian Constitution. We represent a broad group of architecture and design practices, each with endorsed Reconciliation Action Plans that formalise our commitment to advancing reconciliation in Australia.

continues

We believe the Voice is a simple, sensible, and positive step in the process of righting the wrongs of the past and building a more equitable Australia.

We shape spaces and places on Country across Australia. As a design community, we have begun a process of better connecting with Country – through close engagement and participatory processes led by First Nations communities. We have witnessed the positive impacts of engaging directly with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people whose wisdom, generosity, and world-view enrich our work and the built environment.

We respect the principle of self-determination. We’re committed to working towards greater equity and prosperity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

We call on other industries, businesses and organisations to join us – to stand up, speak up, and support an incredibly important moment in Australia’s history.

We urge all Australians to learn more about the Uluru Statement and make an informed decision in the Referendum.

Architectural Review_ Melbourne Holocaust Museum

We are so pleased to see the Melbourne Holocaust Museum in the May issue of Architectural Review. Written by Rory Hyde the article features conversations with Jayne Josem CEO of Melbourne Holocaust Museum and Kerstin Thompson.

continues

Excerpt
“The building is large, stepping and shifting to press at the edges of the buildable envelope – not a millimetre is spared. And yet it feels generous, with wide hallways and outdoor terraces on multiple levels. As I am visiting, two school buses of students are emptied into the building. I’m bracing for havoc, but serenity prevails.”

Architecture Australia May/June 2023

May/June issue of Architecture Australia magazine is now available. Reflecting on key themes and approach to practice, the Gold Medal article includes essays from peers, conversations with collaborators and anecdotes from longstanding supporters.

continues

Extract from Katelin Butler, Editorial Director, Architecture Australia
“Kerstin’s architectural work demonstrates a depth of thought that is not only visible in the drawings and built outcomes, but also astutely articulated in words by Kerstin herself – not always such a natural skill for an architect. Her ability to communicate her approach, ideas and considerations makes her an incredibly valuable mentor, teacher and advocate for architecture. The many anecdotes collected here consistently refer to her generous and collaborative approach, and Justine Clark’s opening essay (page 78) reflects on Kerstin’s engagement beyond the office, noting that “this is also imbricated with the world of the practice … These activities help make space for the development of ideas that then reverberate between these various worlds.”

GM Announcement.jpg

Kerstin Thompson 2023 AIA Gold Medal Recipient

The Gold Medal is the Australian Institute of Architects’ highest honour. It is with great joy that we can announce this year’s recipient is Kerstin Thompson.
The Gold Medal recognises distinguished service by architects who have designed or executed buildings of high merit, producing work of great distinction that has advanced architecture or endowed the profession in a distinguished manner. The list of past recipients is a sterling selection of peers to now sit alongside.

continues

In her own words, Kerstin reflects;
I think of this milestone as an acknowledgment of past achievements but also a future challenge – to continue the purpose of the practice I founded – Kerstin Thompson Architects – with the design of buildings that meaningfully connect people with place and the fostering of a stimulating and supportive workplace culture. And parallel to KTA, to continue with the reward and responsibility of education through studios and talks, and beyond the academy, advocating for architecture whether through design panels, public engagement or in the research around and doing of exemplars.

The bestowing of the Gold Medal, so far overwhelmingly on individuals, gives pause to contemplate one’s role relative to that of others within a 30 year practice. As founder I have provided the thread of thought continuity along which many have gathered and have inflected.

To all who have contributed in various ways to KTA, thank you

Rossi proposes permanence’s present two aspects: “they can be considered as propelling elements or as pathological ones: artefacts that enable us to understand our city in its totality, or artefacts that appear as a series of isolated elements that we can link only tenuously to an urban system.”

Excerpt from article, Frame’s Take
“Buildings that can absorb the shock of earthquakes and homes built on stilts to prevent flood damage are just some of the ways architects have had to consider environmental characteristics when designing spaces. However, the climate crisis has forced design and architecture to proactively reckon with the ever-increasing occurrences of disasters like massive wildfires, extreme storms, winds and flooding.”
