The 2012 Jury for Awards was held in Oslo, Norway and 81 projects from 28 nations were selected by a group of leading Norwegian architects and educators.
Meanwhile, BVN’s Robina Hospital Expansion was recently awarded two Design and Health International Academy Award High Commendations, one for interior design and the other for sustainable architecture at the Design and Health World Congress in Kuala Lumpur. These awards recognise professional excellence in the research and design of healthy built environments.
James Grose, BVN national director, noted “It is a tremendous confidence booster for Australian architects, to have Australian designs being recognised at the highest levels internationally”.
