Submission #376 | Sergio Achury: Walyalup Aboriginal Centre — “The area around Arthur’s head has been an important location throughout the years. The area raises awareness of the past and history not only for Fremantle but for all Western Australia. This area represents different meanings for indigenous and non- indigenous people nevertheless, it is a place where both cultures meet and share with each other a big significance for the present and the future. Thorugh the last couple of decades, the Australian government has been putting a lot of effort to rectify the relationship between the two parts. Here is where architecture plays an important role.“

Submission #329 | Dan Whelan: Song of the Sea — “The proposed chapel rests on the foundations of the restored Pessegueiro island fort - Portugal, its simple white brick form providing a clear focus point from the main coastline. The restored fort provides a space of transition between the natural landscape and the inner space of the chapel while providing panoramic views across the entire site. Within the chapel spaces are enclosed, intimate and spiritual in nature, inviting visitors to take a moment for introspection and quiet contemplation.”

Submission #172 | Jerome Lai: McGill Architecture — "He creates an 'urban condenser': a 1000x150m platform, aiming to replace the traditional fabric of streets and city blocks. It hosts residences, offices, a campus and recreational spaces. He envisions that the multiplicity and complexity of programmatic interactions relieve users from the fundamental need for space outside the platform. In the end, the platform becomes the city itself."
