Australian architect, and design-stalwart-turned-Conrad-Gargett-Principal, Dale Swan laments the lack of design culture in some practices across the country. According to Dale, it’s often what leads promising young architects and designers to exit such studios.
Brisbane-based practice, BVN won The Emil Sodersten Award for Interior Architecture for their very own studio – BVN Brisbane Studio. Impressed with the work, the jury noted, “Visually and viscerally connected to place, the design caresses our senses and encourages a more nature-centred approach to life.” BVN also earned The Daryl Jackson Award for Educational Architecture for their work on the Brisbane South State Secondary College.
