Joint Venture Architects Woods Bagot with NH Architecture for Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre
Jury Citation
This is an interior that is beautifully integrated with its enclosing architecture. The expansive spaces have been expertly detailed to create interest and texture at human scale within a large, dominating volume. Strong colour gives life to the space, rendered to great effect with a sophisticated lighting design that uses both artificial and natural sources. Several innovative environmental strategies have been included in the project, which sets a benchmark for convention centre design.
