 IALD Lighting Design: Award of Excellence 2008 - Ian Thorpe Aquatic Centre Ultimo, Sydney.
Steensen Varming is the first Australian organisation to win the most prestigious award in the world of lighting design, receiving an Award of Excellence from the International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD) for the lighting of the Ian Thorpe Aquatic Centre in Ultimo, Sydney.
The award was one of only eight selected from over 160 submissions, presented to Steensen Varming at the 25th Annual IALD International Lighting Design Awards Presentation and Education Trust Benefit Dinner held in Las Vegas on 30 May, 2008.
The Ian Thorpe Aquatic Centre, a $40 million project commissioned by the City of Sydney, was the last great work designed by the renowned architect Harry Seidler and the lighting is regarded as one of the key defining elements in the overall design.
Mike Harrold received the award on our behalf “We are delighted to be named among a select group of distinguished award winners and for being recognised as setting an example in lighting design excellence. The innovative lighting enhances the unique wave-shaped architecture of the building, creating a glowing landmark that harmonises with its surroundings, while doing so in a sustainable, energy efficient manner.” In presenting the award, Jeffery Miller President of the IALD said: “This was a great and inspiring lighting project and obviously Australian lighting designers are mixing it with the best in the world.”
The IALD is headquartered in Chicago and is recognised for setting the global standard for lighting design excellence by promoting the advancement and recognition of professional lighting designers. Our lighting design team at share a passion for light and regard it as an integral design element, which should be tailored to suit the character and meet the specific needs of a project. The results achieved for the Ian Thorpe Aquatic Centre reflect this passion and intent.
