World Architecture Festival
Australia has been represented well at the World Architectural Festival in Singapore with winners in both the Health and Villa categories.
Bates Smart and Billard Leece Partnership placed first in the health category with their amazing Royal Childrens Hospital project. The Judges found that
‘’It successfully removed the stigma of hospitals. It blends with the environment and especially the park, at the same time representing an iconic architecture’
If you missed it earlier in the year check out the post from the Melbourne Open House event to see why this building is so good
