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. These include the RAIA Gold Medal in 2004, The AIA Sir Zelman Cowen Award and Victorian Architecture Medal. Projects include CERES Sustainable Community Centre, Koorie Heritage Trust Cultural Centre, Peninsula Hot Springs Public Bath House, Ironbark Centre La Trobe University and Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve and Uluru Kata-Tjuta Cultural Centre, Northern Territory.
The work of the practice has been upheld as exemplary for its cultural sensitivity, inclusive collaborative process, its powerful and poetic embodiment of spirit of place and identity in all its diversity. It has been exhibited at major galleries in London, Amsterdam, Tokyo, Edinburgh and Australia. GBA’s richly responsive materiality, resonant form-making and bold technical innovation have been powerful influences on contemporary design for over three decades.
