PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Judge's comment: The design incorporated many aspects of good engineering practice adapted to a complex city centre site, and shows intelligent use of construction techniques to overcome problems of infrastructure diversion. Particularly noted were the use of post-tensioned concrete sandwich floors providing architectural fair-faced soffit finish with minimum structural depth, and optimisation of the steel roof through accurate construction sequence modelling and wind load analysis.
