Australian Institute of Landscape Architects Awards of Excellence 2009

WAX Design was recently recognised for its collaborative and innovative approach to landscape architecture and urban design at the AILA (SA) Awards Night 2009.

Landscape Architecture Award for Planning

“The project demonstrates an innovative approach to planning for public art in the urban landscape. Using public art typologies and many techniques from the urban design framework process, such as responding to the social and urban context of the street, this document demonstrates a structure for future public art proposals. The collaborative team of landscape architects and artists creatively responded to the brief, and this approach is reflected in the design of the document that challenges conventional ways of representing information.” (jurors citation)
