According to the NSW President of the RAIA, Mr Richard Francis-Jones, the architecture awards play an important role in demonstrating to the community the possibilities inherent in every project. `They show what can be achieved in house and housing design, public and commercial development, urban design, heritage and environmental sustainability,' `They may also demonstrate the intangible and immeasurable dimensions that can inspire us all. Architecture that may become the heritage of the future, integral elements of our culture that belong to the entire community,' said Mr Francis-Jones. ENDS Contact: |
