About Face Awards 2008
About Face 2008 is Think Brick Australia’s invitation-only design ideas competition. Voting for the 2008 Peer Awards is now openThe programme was first run in 2006 and featured a cross section of Australia’s best architects including Donaldson + Warn, Environa Studio and Kerstin Thompson Architects. In 2007 About Face extended this success as a competition with a strong group of architects including Donovan Hill, Iredale Pedersen Hook and John Wardle Architects, with the winning scheme by Neeson Murcutt.
The one stage competition calls for the selected architects to design a project which exemplifies innovation using face brick. The 2008 competition will have a specific focus on the “art of brick” and again will challenge leading architects to re-think brick.
