Some of Australia’s best works of landscape architecture have been recognized at the 2021 National Landscape Architecture Awards, with the winning projects also indicating a renaissance of public and private outdoor spaces in the wake of the pandemic.

The Australian Institute of Landscape Architecture (AILA) recognized 47 projects in 17 different categories, with the winners recognized for demonstrating efforts to facilitate environmental stewardship while striving for cultural sustainability, particularly in the categories Gardens, Health and education Landscape, Parks and Play spaces.

AILA President Claire Martin observed that the past 18 months have highlighted the strengths and vulnerabilities of our cities, underscoring the need for public spaces to bring about fundamental social, environmental and economic change.

“The various nominees for this year’s awards demonstrate the leading role landscape architects play in providing innovative answers to complex problems and making positive contributions to our regions and cities,†said Martin.

“Despite all the challenges posed by the pandemic, this represents a great opportunity for the industry to re-evaluate the way we use these spaces,†she said.

AILA National Jury Chair Peta-Maree Ashford said the awards jury congratulated this year’s winners for their focus on community participation and the growing use of localized public and private spaces.

Noting how COVID has encouraged communities to make the most of their own backyards, whether it is their physical home, a local park or a community garden, Ashford said: “The use The growing number of these spaces means that there is undoubtedly a need for high quality landscaped spaces. that the locals are really happy to use.

“Green spaces add this irrefutable value in strengthening community bonds and maintaining mental and physical well-being,†she added.

Three projects were recognized in the Parks and Open Spaces category for their consideration of the community in all aspects of the design. The Queensland, Riverside Green – South Bank Parklands project by Hassell won the Award of Excellence, while the Western Australian Bina Parkland project and the Victoria Tullamore Southern Gully Reserve project received landscape architecture awards.

The winners of the Play Spaces category were recognized for encouraging meaningful play and creative stimulation through design.

The Gardens category saw some projects not traditionally associated with this category under study. The Western Australian Coogee Common project by Seedesign Studio, for example, won the Landscape Architecture Award for its productive vegetable garden, which provides fresh supplies for the historic Coogee Hotel’s new bar and restaurant. The South Australian Salt Wind Garden project by Oxigen won a Landscape Architecture Award for its deep connection to the landscape and its imperative to bring nature back into residential gardens.

In the current pandemic environment, the health and education landscapes continue to shape cities and regional towns in Australia, with four projects winning awards in this category. The Department of Surgery, Treatment and Rehabilitation (STARS) and the public domain of the Herston district received an award of excellence.

During a difficult year for the service industry, Tasmania’s Cradle Mountain Visitor Center received the Tourism Landscape Architecture Award for providing an exceptional visitor experience in one of Tasmania’s most desirable wilderness destinations.
