Kerstin Thompson Architects

Tomorrow at MPavilion 6-7pm. Kerstin Thompson joins an expert panel to explore social benefits gained from temporary urban design initiatives.

Kerstin Thompson was named an American Institute of Architects (AIA) Honorary Fellow earlier this month. Kerstin was one of ten international architects recognised for ‘their exceptional work and contributions to architecture and society on an international level’. ‘Each year when candidates apply to be Fellows, the jury considers how they have shown distinction in the context of their object, in relation to AIA's values, and whether their work has had a ripple effect. The objects of nomination are essentially the award categories candidates apply under, and each object has specific criteria and requirements associated with it.’ Link to AIA announcement https://lnkd.in/g2J4YD6a

A recent article in Architecture & Design discusses the Eva and Marc Besen Centre, which will open to the public on March 4, 2025. The new Centre is adjacent to the TarraWarra Museum of Art, designed by Powell & Glenn. Excerpt "A unique feature of the building is its open collection store, allowing visitors access to over 300 artworks from the museum’s permanent collection." "Bringing what’s traditionally back-of-house to the front-of-house was a key objective," says Kerstin Thompson.  "Internationally, we’ve seen a shift where museums are making stored collections more visible, and we embraced that idea here. The new Centre allows the public to engage more deeply with the collection." https://lnkd.in/g-GjxQVK

In this 1 Formal CPD Point session you’ll hear lectures from two of the most respected contemporary Australian architects, kerstin thompson and Timothy Hill. Presented at the Ground Matters Student Conference this year, Kerstin Thompson discusses how ground matters have been foundational to KTA’s practice. She explores how the ways in which our architecture critically relates to Australia’s diverse landscapes – and to disciplinary, theoretical and historical groundings. Timothy Hill speaks on architecture's profound ability to evoke powerful responses. How it can heighten our awareness of the intrinsic aspects of habitation and the landscape. Through careful attention to detail, materiality, and spatial relationships, architecture can continuously engage and provoke genuine perceptions and responses. Together, these two talks offer 1 Formal CPD Point and is available on-demand here: https://aus.archi/z989 Pictured: TarraWarra Cellar Door | Traditional Owners: The Wurundjeri People | Architect: Kerstin Thompson Architects | Builder: FOURSQ  | Photographer: Derek Swalwell   #AustralianArchitecture #Architect #Architectural #Architecture #AustralianArchitects #Architects #ArchitectureandDesign #ContemporaryArchitecture #AustralianDesign #CPD

We're proud to share that Antara 128 was highly commended in the hospitality category for the IDEA 2024 Awards. Congratulations team! Antara provides various dining settings typically found in brasseries. The existing concrete was preserved and harmonised with refined joinery and structural elements. A unifying dark green curtain adjacent to the kitchen adds depth and connects the kitchen and dining areas. Antara means between. Between places, between spaces. Between dawn and dusk, east and west, bakery and restaurant. Images by Haydn Cattach. #IDEA2024 Australian Design Review
