A Sydney architect credited with being "the key philosophical influence" behind much of Australia's best architecture today has become one of two Australians to receive Britain's highest architectural honour.
Richard Leplastrier and Melbourne-born Peter Wilson will receive Royal Institute of British Architects International Fellowships in London next month. The pair are the only Australians to be awarded the prize since its introduction in 2011.
Leplastrier is lauded internationally as one of the world's leading architects recognition achieved despite his aversion to media and publicity, and a body of exquisite little-seen and 'humble' residential work.

"This is a great honour for Rick, who is respected around the world for the humanitarian qualities of his work and teachings," close friend and fellow architect Peter Stutchbury said. "He's devoted his life to an architecture in which people are worth more than buildings, to a philosophy of responsibility."

Despite being Australia's second most awarded architect, the 75-year old 'national living treasure' remained as humble as his work, Stutchbury said. Glenn Murcutt remains the country's most awarded.
Leplastrier is celebrated for creating buildings and spaces that respond particularly sensitively to their site and culture, as well as being one of the nation's most respected architectural educators, mentoring many of the profession's current crop of practitioners.
Announcing the honour, the Royal Institute said Leplastrier "provided the backbone of thinking and belief" of much of the best work seen in Australia, noting his "extraordinary apprenticeship with Jorn Utzon, with whom he worked at the time of the Sydney Opera House".

Architects awarded top British honour
The third annual American Society of Golf Course Architects Design Excellence Recognition Program has recognized Nicklaus Design and Trump National Golf Links at Ferry Point in the Bronx, New York, with one of 12 Design Excellence awards for 2014. Since its creation in 2012, the Design Excellence Recognition Program has shined a light on the innovation and problem-solving skills required of todays golf course designs.
Nicklaus Design and Ferry Point also received recognition by the Florida Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects. The New York City course was one of 30 recipients of the organizations 2014 Design Awards, and was recognized with the Environmental Sustainability Honor, as well as in the Resort and Entertainment Category with an Award of Excellence.
In awarding Ferry Point the Design Excellence Recognition, the American Society of Golf Course Architects (ASGCA)the oldest professional organization of golf course designers in Americalauded the environmental responsibility of the Ferry Point project. How does land get transformed after 20-plus years as landfill to an Irish Links-style course? For this Jack Nicklaus Signature course in collaboration with [John] Sanford, it was by working with the land and striving to improve the environment, along with creating really good golf, the ASGCA said.
To date, at least 23 past and present designers who have supported the work of Nicklaus Design have gone on to earn membership in the prestigious American Society of Golf Course Architects, including Ferry Point course designer Jack Nicklaus, Design Associate Jim Lipe, and John Sanford, who collaborated on the project.
The 2014 nominations were reviewed by a panel of golf industry leaders, including representatives of the Club Managers Association of America, Golf Course Superintendents Association of America, Golf Course Builders Association of America and National Golf Course Owners Association.
The Environmental Sustainability Honor by the Florida Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects is presented by the Awards Jury to a single project that exhibits sound sustainable practices as described by the ASLA Environmental Sustainability Policy Statement.
The American Society of Landscape Architects believes that both human civilizations and the natural ecosystems represent integral parts of our environment, and therefore must be protected, restored, and perpetuated. In order to provide a healthy, productive, and socially enriching life for all, the Society urges public and private decision-makers to employ sustainable design policies and practices, minimize environmental degradation, avoid excessive consumption, and respect the needs of future generations.
Trump National Golf Links at Ferry Point features native fescue grasses that cover more than 50 percent of the course, which has only 70 acres of irrigated turf. More than one-third of runoff is recirculated back to the irrigation pond and reused on the course. The balance is delivered to basins, which trap and filter sediments, nutrients and chemicals. The course is scheduled to host a 2017 PGA Tour event, and will open to the public in 2015 upon completion of its clubhouse.

Women represent about 43 percent of architectural school graduates in the U.S., but only about 20 percent of licensed architects and 17 percent of principals and partners are women, according to industry statistics.
Those disparities arent doing any favors for architectural firms, according to experts who spoke Tuesday morning at an American Institute of Architects event in Minneapolis.
Its been shown in study after study that companies with a higher proportion of women in top management perform better, said Amy Kalar, a health care architect with Minneapolis-based HGA and co-founder of the AIA Minnesota Women in Architecture Committee.
Kalar and other experts at the AIA Minnesota convention made the business case for bringing more women into architecture and encouraging women to stick with the profession.
The industry has made strides in diversity. According to the American Institute of Architects, about 17 percent of AIA members are women, up from 9 percent in 2000.
But women are still under-represented in leadership roles, even though women have steadily made up about 42 percent of the graduating classes at architecture schools in the Twin Cities since the mid-1990s, Karal said.
A number of factors are holding women back in architecture and other professions, including an unconscious cultural bias, the double burden of career and family obligations and lack of mentors and networking opportunities, Kalar said.
A March 2012 survey of women architects, published by ArchDaily.com, found that 80 percent of women think having children puts them at a disadvantage, and that 48 percent believe they would get paid more if they were men.
Men typically mentor other men and the lack of women in senior leadership roles results in fewer mentorship opportunities for up-and-coming women architects, according to Kalar.
Architecture isnt the only profession that presents challenges for women.
