Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC) is a proud supporter of the 2011 Brisbane Open House and is committed to the preservation of Brisbane’s character and identity, particularly in regards to its contribution to the unique style of ‘subtropical’ architecture. As the ‘gateway’ to Queensland and Australia, BAC regards this as an important responsibility, promoting the region’s subtropical lifestyle and attributes to visitors, business and new residents to Brisbane, ensuring economic growth and prosperity.

Brisbane Airport comprises diverse precincts that contribute to Brisbane’s character including Airport Village and the Domestic and International Terminal precincts. The Brisbane Airport Master Plan, 2009 incorporates these precincts and others, which is continually revised to ensure it remains the premier airport of the region and provides a positive contribution to Queensland.

In 2011, BAC launched its national design competition for the first Property Master Plan undertaken by any airport in Australia. The competition followed the success of BAC’s Airport Atelier, a design charette held to explore a series of urban development ideas for the new plan. The intention is to develop a comprehensive Property Master Plan with competition winner AECOM/Grimshaw/PWC/Tract by December 2011, for BAC’s development area of approximately 1000 hectares.

The Australian Institute of Architects is a national body consisting of almost 10,000 members across Australia and overseas. The Institute was formed in 1930 when state architectural Institutes combined to form a unified national association with the following aims:

  • To advance architecture
  • To maintain the integrity and standing of the profession
  • To promote the profession's views nationally and internationally

Since then, the Australian Institute of Architects has evolved into a dynamic and progressive national organisation with active programs in many areas relating to the architectural profession. We also provide services to other sectors of the community.

By promoting better, responsible and environmental design, the Institute actively lobbies to maintain and improve the quality of our built environment. Raising design standards in our cities, urban areas, commercial and residential buildings, architects and the Institute have a major role in shaping Australia's future.
