LAGHLAN MACQUARIE AWARD FOR HERITAGE: UTAS SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE SEE AND SIX DEGREES ARCHITECTS - ARCHITECTS IN COLLABORATION

摘要

The appropriate and sensitive revitalization of Australia's considerable stock of historic architecture, particularly the vast sheds of its industrial heritage, is a key issue during the nation's transformation into a contemporary service economy. Relocating the UTAS School of Architecture to this former Diesel Workshop (constructed in 1950) has allowed the school to represent its particular philosophy of design-by-making in the fabric of its own building. In such an industrial shed the structural elements and materials are rudimentary, " unadorned and explicit in their purpose and making - designed for heavy and un-careful use but not for contemplation or appreciation.
