The jury citation noted:
“The new Eva and Marc Besen Centre is yet another exceptional addition to the Tarrawarra Museum, continuing a refined and distinctive character while also referencing the campus’s rich architectural legacy.
The complex and dynamic spatial composition expertly sculpts volume, texture, space and light with a brilliant programmatic interplay of hierarchy that amplifies existing and new architectural interventions on the site. The refined outdoor and indoor circulation serves to guide but also builds anticipation and immersion through shifting layers of translucency and texture.”
Thank you to all our collaborators who made this possible, and to the national jury for this recognition.
