Bunjil Place has again received international recognition for its striking and unique design, with the project being recognised at the 2018 Global Architecture and Design Awards.
The City of Casey’s new arts and cultural precinct, designed by leading Australian architectural firm Francis-Jones Morehen Thorp (fjmt), was last week named the winner of the Cultural (Built) category.
The awards recognise projects showcasing excellence and innovation in architecture and design from across the world, this year attracting 748 projects from more than 50 countries spanning a range of categories.
City of Casey Mayor Cr Geoff Ablett said Council was proud of the recognition Bunjil Place continues to receive.
“Bunjil Place is world class and we’re thrilled by the accolades it continues to collect, with this being the sixth award the precinct has received for its design,” Cr Ablett said.
“When delivering Bunjil Place, Council wanted to create a vibrant, welcoming and inviting central heart where the whole community could enjoy arts, cultural and entertainment experiences close to home.
“The truly beautiful design adds to the experience at Bunjil Place and I firmly believe that what has been delivered is something both the community and Council can be proud of.
“As Bunjil Place approaches its first birthday in October, I’d encourage anyone in the community who has yet to check it out to come along, join in the celebrations and see why this facility is making its make on the world stage.”
