Urbis picks up two AILA gongs at the 2023 NSW Landscape Architecture Awards

MEADOWBANK SCHOOLS by Urbis with Woods Bagot 

The award winning design for Meadowbank Schools highlights the important role of landscape within the educational space. The AILA judges were impressed with the design as it articulates a collage of subtle outdoor spaces where students and the community can engage in the diverse qualities that landscape offers.

The outcome demonstrates the agency of landscape architects in manifesting the ideals of modern education to draw upon context and environmental awareness as learning experiences. 

WAGGA WAGGA RIVERSIDE PRECINCT by Urbis with Land & Form

With climate change induced flooding a recurring and major issue across regional NSW, the revitalisation of riverside community facilities must take many factors into consideration.  The Stage 2 Wagga Wagga Riverside Precinct rethinks a disconnected and defunct caravan park site to create an iconic recreation, cultural and event ready destination to attract locals and visitors to this rapidly expanding inland city.  

The judges welcomed the project’s comprehensive and collaborative approach which has resulted in a well-loved and popular new space for Wagga Wagga’s community while minimising flooding impacts.

Congratulations team!
