Burgess’ architecture is widely acclaimed for its major contribution to Australian identity, cultural life and the built environment. As a leader in architecture practised as a social and environmental art, GBA has been acknowledged internationally with numerous awards, dedicated exhibitions, academic and professional seminars, conferences and publications.

GBA’s richly responsive materiality, resonant form-making and bold technical innovation have been powerful influences on contemporary design for over three decades.
