Winner of the annual Architects Medallion will be announced at Sydney Opera House
This year’s winner is young architect graduate, Sascha Parkinson bucking the trend in the male dominated profession where only 24% of the profession are women.
Sascha hails from Newcastle and has won for her ground breaking proposal in relation to the redevelopment of Newcastle’s CBD and high speed rail. Her eco-friendly proposal seeks to restore both natural systems and reinvigorate previous historical landmarks in the city.
Winning this prize is a coveted award and considered to be a sign of big things to come. Previous winners of the Architects Medallion include Richard Johnson, Ric Le Plastrier and Richard Francis Jones.
