Timothy Nicols
University of WA
Project: Civic Redevelopment - Landscape City
Citation: The
project makes no apologies for its basis in an approach developed by Koolhaas
in the competition for Parc de la Villette in 1983. Its merit is in recognition
of the relevance of this approach to a challenge of an entirely different
type and scale, and the intelligence with which it has been applied. The
jury was particularly impressed by the rigour of the proposal, within an
appreciation of the unpredictable nature of the city and the extended time
frame of urban development.

Ilze Untins
University of WA
Quarantine Park, Bicton Perth
Citation: Taking its cues from the steep topography of the site, remnants
of past occupation, and the temporal nature of landscape, this scheme achieves
an
elegant balance between fixed and variable components, creating a park that
offers a wide range of possible activities and invites the active participation
of the surrounding community in its use and continuing development. Especially
successful is the park's relationship to the river and the celebratory treatment
of the water's edge which combines functionality with riparian markers and
traces of history.
