Baca Architects has won an international competition for a new £17 million (AUS $30 million) Ocean Discovery Centre near Perth, Australia
The London practice – which specialises in floating and flood-resilient building typologies and was one of last year’s AJ100 Disruptors – has been selected to work with marine contractor Subcon on the project. The scheme will become Australia’s largest natural marine observatory and will be built 2km out at sea at the end of Busselton Jetty.
