The City of Ryde has revealed the stage two designs of the four shortlisted contenders in the international ideas competition for the design of a new civic precinct at the gateway to the municipality.
The international competition attracted 175 entries from 49 countries, including 42 entries from Australia.
A jury comprising Peter Poulet (NSW Government Architect), Shaun Carter (president of the Australian Institute of Architects NSW Chapter) and Maria Atkinson (sustainability strategist) has selected three entries.
A fourth scheme has been selected by popular vote. “Great architecture can rejuvenate a city and the jury members have been impressed by the diversity and range of design responses,” said Peter Poulet.
The competition sought an iconic architectural vision that will encapsulate the urban identity of the area. The 16,500-square-metre site, 12 kilometres west of Sydney’s CBD, sits on the crest of a ridgeline and has a 260-metre street frontage along a six-lane road.
The competition called for proposals that accommodated civil and administrative offices, a public plaza/open space, commercial activities and housing. The stage two designs will be on exhibition online for public comment from 9am Monday 11 July 2016.
