Circa Morris-Nunn Architects, Tasmania
Monday 2nd February 2015, 6pm –
Robert Morris-Nunn, Director of Circa Morris Nunn, Architects, is regarded as one of Tasmania's most adventurous architects. In 2010 he was awarded the President’s Prize (Tas) by the Aust. Institute of Architects, as the most outstanding architect selected from those meeting the conditions of the AIA that year. He has practiced in Tasmania for over 30 years, and has taken a special interest in the social impact of architecture and collaborative design processes. The foundation of his work has been to explore new approaches towards a more enlightened, socially humane architecture that as part of their resolution have often integrated innovative structural ideas, many of them in timber, a material which he has championed.
Several of his ground breaking buildings have received considerable international interest, most recently in the field of ecologically sustainable design, attracting critical acclaim from diverse sources both here and in the US and Europe. More recently the IXL redevelopment and Saffire have also achieved significant international exposure.
He has won over 50 state and national architectural awards, his work has been illustrated in international publications and he has been invited to lecture at many Australian and international conferences about his work. He is also an Adjunct Professor at the School of Architecture, University of Tasmania.
