Public Architecture – National Gallery Singapore by studioMilou Singapore with CPG Consultants, and Australian Pavilion, Venice by Denton Corker Marshall. The gallery is South East Asia’s largest modern art institution, and the jury praised its “masterful interventions [which] allow the elegant and powerful original colonial spaces a new and sophisticated life whilst still preserving their historical character.”

The Australian Pavilion debuted at last year’s Art Biennale and is host to Australia’s Exhibition, The Pool, at the 15th International Architecture Biennale on now until 27 November.

Commendation – World Maritime University, Tornhuset by Terroir Pty Ltd & Kim Utzon Architecture.
