Australian landscape architecture firm, Taylor Cullity Lethlean (TCL) has scooped one of the world’s most prestigious landscape architecture awards, from a field of eleven international projects. The Rosa Barba International Landscape Prize was awarded to TCL and New Zealand firm, Wraight + Associates (WA) for the transformation of Auckland’s waterfront which was completed in 2011. The Auckland Waterfront project, comprising North Wharf Promenade, Jellicoe Street and Silo Park, involved the transformation of a decrepit industrial maritime site into a vibrant and diverse public precinct. The design challenges conventions by celebrating its original elements and encouraging public interaction with the waterfront’s industry. (see Topos 81). “We’re extremely honored to win this prestigious award in what is the first time it has been opened to the international design community. The Rosa Barba Landscape Prize recognizes the world’s best in landscape architecture from the past years,” TCL Director, Perry Lethlean said.
