The Australian Institute of Landscape Designers and Managers (AILDM) announced its annual awards in Sydney on Saturday 26 August.
President of the AILDM Ruth Czermak said that the awards aim to advance landscape design and management as well as to encourage enivonmentally sound practices.
“A quick glance at the news highlights a number of problems that I believe we are well placed to consider, if not address through our work – climate change and the environment, food security, mental health, nature deficit disorder, social isolation, lack of community, general health, these are just a few that made it into headlines this week,” said Czermak.
The most coveted award, the Allan Correy Award for Design Excellence, went to Steve Warner of Outhouse Design. Warner was the big winner on the night, taking home eight awards.
The Allan Correy Award for Design Excellence was named in honour of landscape architect and horticulturalist Allan Correy who practised widely in South Australia. He is known for his ecological and modernist approach to design and was the founding member of the AILDM.
On this year’s jury was Charles Anderson, Sally Tulloch, John Rayner, Jim Fogarty, Chantelle Leenstra, Anna Turner, David Dreadon and Peter Fudge.
