There's no doubt Australia has its share of ordinary, less than visionary building designers, architects, developers and clients - resulting in a deepening, soupy swamp of bad residential designs (seriously, you need a cheerful disposition, yellow vest and lifeboat to stay afloat in some suburbs, don't you?).
But, if the World Architecture Festival (WAF) in Singapore this week is anything to go by, we also have a disproportionately and fortuitously large share of the world's exceptionally good, even great, architects.
Seven years after launching, WAF has firmly established itself as the world's largest architecture competition, and a WAF award as the prize to have. Participation by feted luminaries such as Norman Foster and Zaha Hadid speaks for the level of entry. It was encouraging then to see a raft of Australian architects and residential projects shortlisted this year - in particular, four in the major 'completed' houses category and two in the 'future' houses currently unbuilt.
With only 25 projects shortlisted, the nation's architects and work is surely uncommonly well represented. So, what makes them special?

Four homes - two responding to dense urban settings in Sydney and Brisbane, one to idyllic Pittwater and another to an unspoilt bush estate in far north Queensland - were shortlisted in the completed house category. Vastly dissimilar in just about every way, from materials to form, they share some immediately obvious characteristics - they're exceptionally well resolved homes, designed with striking creativity and intellectual rigour.
Where better to start than the Stamp House in the Daintree in far north Queensland by Charles Wright Architects - as captivating, joyous and dramatic an architectural form as they come.
This extraordinary building is designed as a new sustainable tropical housing prototype for off-grid coastal locations. Charles describes the concept for this cantilevered, cyclone proof structure, suspended over an engineered water eco-system, as: "A safe and secure off-grid structure, carbon neutral in operation, as luxury retreat and sanctuary an enigmatic bunker. A new tropical architecture of resilience, both brutal and elegant."
At the other end of the country, Andrew Maynard's shortlisted Moor House sits in Melbourne's Fitzroy, a suburb undergoing gentrification in sometimes rather unsympathetic ways. His design acts as a reminder of how to renovate sympathetically, and creatively. His clients were a young family of four living in a modest, ageing house who needed more space, but were keen to eschew any large contemporary renovation that dominated its context. Instead, they worked to maximise interior spaces, while respecting the context by creating a single building out of three small objects rather than a single "monolith".
Respect for context is also immediately apparent in the rejuvenation of a small workers cottage on a narrow site in inner city Brisbane, the Aperture House by Cox Rayner Architects and Twofold Studio. Architect Jayson Blight used the narrow site and linear response to cleverly explore how apertures can physically and perceptually interconnect spaces in longitudinal, lateral and unfolding ways. Using a four step process he remodelled the existing cottage into a library, lounge and master bedroom; created a 'bridge' comprising bedrooms and a 'secret' garden to connect to an indoor-outdoor kitchen/dining/play space, backed by a parterred garden and pool.

Singaporean Theodore Chan cant help but comment about the ubiquitousness of the Filipino overseas worker. You guys are all over, he chuckled good-naturedly.
He meant that in a positive way. The president of the Singapore Institute of Architects (SIA), and the director of CIAP Architects Pte. Ltd., hastily added that he had nothing but admiration for the skills and knowhow of Filipinos, especially in the architectural field.
Singaporean architects have taken interest in the Philippines because a lot of your architects work in our offices. I would say that 90 percent of our workforce in Singapore are dependent on foreign technical expertise, and of which maybe 70 percent are of Filipino origins, Chan told Inquirer Property during a panel discussion on Sept. 9 at the Masters Hall of Yuchengco Museum in Makati. The panel also consisted of other leading Singaporean and Filipino architects.
Under the theme Forefront of Asias Architecture: From Local to Global, the Filipino and Singaporean groups have been planning a platform to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and insights. Topics of the day included key challenges brought about by globalization, international trends, best practices vis--vis the broader topic of the 2015 Asean integration, and what it means for Filipino architects. It also highlighted the breadth and range of upcoming design-centric events happening throughout the year in Singapore.
The Singaporean group was led by Tai Lee Siang, president of Design Business Chamber Singapore and group managing director of Ong&Ong Pte. Ltd., and Andrew Phua, director for exhibitions and conferences of the Singapore Tourism Board. Organized by the Singapore Exhibition and Convention Bureau (SECB) and BluPrint, Chan and the two other experts shared their insights on the regions biggest trends and most pressing challenges faced in architecture and design today.
With literally hundreds of projectslocal and internationalshared between the two countries, the Philippines own Carmelo Casas, principal architect of the Casas+Architects, and Abelardo Tolentino Jr., principal architect of Aidea Philippines, rounded up the panel of Filipino experts in an open industry forum which was facilitated by Toni Vasquez, chief operations officer of TI Vasquez Architects & Planners Inc.
In the field of architecture, globalization and the inevitable sharing of expertise across borders have long been happening. In fact, what is being discussed lately is how to improve the sharing of expertise, Chan revealed.
He added that Filipinos working in architects offices in Singapore are licensed and trained architects. They work in Singapore to do support work to help us document, elaborate and develop our designs. Because of licensing issues, however, they cannot call themselves architects in Singapore, Chan disclosed. Regardless, they are experts in their design and computer fields, which are very much in demand in Singapore.
Not enough local chances
