We are thrilled and honoured to have accepted the 2020 Royal Australian Institute of Architects (RAIA) Adrian Ashton Prize for Architectural Culture and Literature for our book SIRIUS.
For all three writers, this book was a labour of love as well as an important fight to save a social housing legacy and architecturally significant building. It was lead by many people, not least of all architects themselves and much of that was graciously documented in various forms via saveoursirius.org in our hope to have the building heritage listed and protected. While that didn't happen, the building remains and will continue but in a different form. Along with publisher and writer John Dunn, our thanks go to fellow writers Ben Peake and Amiera Piscopo for this work and all the photographers, artists and illustrators who contributed to bringing this story alive for Australians, and importantly for the last public residents of Sirius.
