Sydney judge adds sparkle to this year's architectural awards

Cavalier Bremworth is proud to have Camilla Block, one of the principal designers from noted Sydney architectural practice, Durbach Block Architects, as the international guest judge for the AAA Cavalier Bremworth Awards being held on Thursday 19 November.

This is the 18th year the company has sponsored the event, aimed at rewarding design excellence for projects which are not yet under construction or completed at the entry closing date.

Over the years Durbach Block has won many urban design competitions, leading to a reputation for designing truly unique and innovative architecture which sensitively responds to each site, exemplified by the cupped square at Commonwealth Place, the Brickpit Ring and Olympic Amenities buildings.

The firm has also won many architecture awards, including winning the prestigious RAIA Wilkinson Award and RAIA Robin Boyd award "House of the Year" - in 1998 for a penthouse on a city warehouse rooftop, in 2004 for a sinuously curving 'S'-shaped house and in 2005 for a house precariously perched above a cliff top.

Camilla Block will be giving at lecture preceding the awards evening - at 5.30pm in the Fisher& Paykel lecture theatre at the University of Auckland School of Business.

Information about the competition and lecture event along with registrations for both  can be made online at www.aaa.org.nz.  Pre-registration closes on Friday 6 November.
