Peter Stutchbury Architecture (PSA) is a collection of unique individuals who pursue architecture with an open mind and experimental approach. They possess the talent that maintains standards of design, quality and delivery. Their comprehension of the tasks of architecture, along with their abilities to improve work, unmistakably contribute to the social and professional result of the firm’s projects.

PSA’s work is expertly and inventively responsive to the environmental and physical context in both form and technology. Seeking beauty and clarity, whilst always keeping the land in mind their built work sits comfortably and conscientiously within its context, it connects.

PSA is well known in Australia for their innovative approach to sustainability and design within the practice of Architecture. The principal of the firm Peter Stutchbury has practiced independently since 1981 producing a wide variety of work. Projects have been published and acclaimed internationally. PSA’s work is represented in editions of Phaidon’s World Atlas.

Since 1995 the firm has won 75 Royal Australian Institute of Architects Awards, including 17 National Awards. In 2003 PSA became the first practice to win both of the nation’s major architectural Awards, repeating this feat in 2005. In 1999 they won the overall National Metal Industries Award of Excellence and in 2000 and 2008 The Australian Timber Award. In 2001, PSA’s work was the major contributor to the University of Newcastle winning the Prime Minister’s National Environmental Banksia Award. In 2006 PSA was runner-up in the “Innovative Architectures – Design and Sustainability” Award out of Italy and in 2008 the firm won the International Living Steel Award in Russia.

Since the early ‘90s the firm has won or been placed in 21 multiple National and international competitions whilst producing a range of buildings through all the disciplines of Architecture. From the small Israel House at Pittwater (1995 Robin Boyd Commendation) to the significant Life Sciences Newcastle University Building (2001 Sir John Sulman Award), their work consistently maintains a high level of design recognition.

NOTE OF CONDOLENCE

With deep sorrow, the Brazilian Institute of Architects – São Paulo Department (IABsp) mourns the passing of architect and landscape architect Kongjian Yu, a global leader in ecological urbanism, and the members of his team who accompanied him, tragically killed during the filming of a documentary. The institute is honored to have had him as a participant in the 14th São Paulo International Architecture Biennial, where his transformative vision strengthened the dialogue between global challenges and local realities. IABsp emphasizes that Yu's contribution, which transcends borders, will remain an inspiration for generations and expresses its condolences to China, to the families of all the deceased, to his friends, and to all those impacted by his genius and dedication.
