Architeam Cooperative has announced the winners of its 2020 Architeam Awards, which recognize the work of small architecture practices.
“As is true for many businesses, 2020 has been a tough year for architects,” says ArchiTeam CEO, Phoebe La Gerche-Wijsman, “but our members are uniquely placed to respond and adapt to these times. With Victorian members being affected by state-wide lockdowns, even getting photography together for this year’s entries was a massive task. Despite this, the 2020 ArchiTeam awards received an outstanding 130 entries, and our members rose to the challenge to create a whole new concept in exhibition design.”
The 130 entries across five primary categories were judged by a jury comprising chair Kate Fitzgerald (Whispering), Norman Day (Norman Day + Associates), Kate Fitzpatrick (Auhaus), Tamsin O’Neil (Green Magazine), John Ellway (John Ellway Architect), Andy Fergus and Rachel Neeson (Neeson Murcutt and Neille).
