一些著名的競(jìng)賽勝出項(xiàng)目包括英國(guó)巨石陣游客接待中心和博物館、維多利亞洲Shepparton藝術(shù)博物館項(xiàng)目。DCM和政府、公共機(jī)構(gòu)以及私人客戶形成了長(zhǎng)期戰(zhàn)略合作關(guān)系,這一點(diǎn)有力地證明了他們高質(zhì)量的設(shè)計(jì)、專(zhuān)業(yè)的服務(wù)和極高的性?xún)r(jià)比。澳大利亞外交部委托該事務(wù)所設(shè)計(jì)完成澳大利亞駐北京、日本、雅加達(dá)大使館的設(shè)計(jì)工作,并在場(chǎng)地極為敏感的文化遺產(chǎn)保護(hù)區(qū)中為澳大利亞戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)紀(jì)念館設(shè)計(jì)了四座主要建筑。
丹頓·廓克·馬修設(shè)計(jì)的基礎(chǔ)是追求簡(jiǎn)潔和清晰。論項(xiàng)目的規(guī)?;蝾?lèi)型——大到超高層塔樓,博物館,橋梁,小到別墅,咖啡杯具——每一個(gè)項(xiàng)目自身的特性都予以充分的考慮,根據(jù)其獨(dú)特的要求進(jìn)行設(shè)計(jì),為客戶創(chuàng)造真正的價(jià)值。公司合作和創(chuàng)新的工作方式目的是要將客戶的目標(biāo)和期望抽取出來(lái),結(jié)合功能用途、選址、文化、環(huán)境設(shè)計(jì)、造價(jià)和美觀性等的考慮,使設(shè)計(jì)成果自然而然地呼應(yīng)這些條件而產(chǎn)生。這些過(guò)程的關(guān)鍵在于將“抽象”的建筑概念詮釋成為圖像、個(gè)性特征、純?nèi)颓逦默F(xiàn)實(shí)尺度的美麗、建筑形態(tài)和材質(zhì)表達(dá)出來(lái)。做每一個(gè)項(xiàng)目的時(shí)候,不管是在城市還是鄉(xiāng)村,都希望建筑如同一個(gè)“抽象”的雕塑作品矗立在周?chē)坝^之中。
Denton Corker Marshall is one of the most significant and successful Australian owned,international architecture and design practices. Established in 1972, the practice now operates worldwide with offices in Melbourne, London, Manchester and Jakarta employing some 150 professional staff.
The practice is best known for landmark projects in Australia such as Melbourne Museum, the Australian War Memorial, Webb Bridge and Melbourne Gateway. Notable international projects include Stonehenge Exhibition and Visitor Centre and the Civil Justice Centre in Manchester,both in the United Kingdom; Australian Embassies in Beijing, Tokyo and Jakarta; and the Australian Pavilion for the Venice Biennale in Italy.
Denton Corker Marshall’s ability to achieve the highest quality design is demonstrated by the practice's significant collection of Australian Institute of Architects (AIA) National and International Architecture Awards including Australia’s highest architectural honour, the Gold Medal, awarded to John Denton, Bill Corker and Barrie Marshall, for their collective body of work and contribution to Australian architecture and urban design.
Denton Corker Marshall has been awarded the AIA International Architecture Award four times for the Australian Pavilion in Venice, Stonehenge Exhibition and Visitor Centre, Manchester Civil Justice Centre and the Australian Embassy, Beijing. The practice has also been a threetime winner of the AIA’s prestigious architectural award for public architecture, the Sir Zelman Cowen Award, for Melbourne Exhibition Centre, Melbourne Museum, and Anzac Hall at the Australian War Memorial.
The practice is consistently successful in design competitions, collaborative selection processes and repeat client commissions. Some notable competition winning projects include the Stonehenge Exhibition and Visitor Centre, and most recently, Shepparton Art Museum in Victoria. Consistent repeat commissions from government, institutional and private clients is testament to the practice’s high-quality design, professional service and value for money. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has engaged Denton Corker Marshall to design the Australian embassies in Beijing, Tokyo and Jakarta. Similarly, the practice has delivered four major buildings for the Australian War Memorial including Anzac Hall, within a sensitive cultural heritage precinct.
Fundamental to the Denton Corker Marshall design approach is the pursuit of simplicity and clarity. Regardless of scale or type - skyscraper, museum, bridge, house or cup - each design is conceived in its own right, generated by the project’s unique requirements. The practice’s collaborative and creative process aims to distil client objectives and aspirations, together with functional use, siting, culture, environmental design, cost and aesthetics, into an idea that results in a design that seems inevitable. Key to this process is the translation of ‘a(chǎn)bstract’architectural concepts such as imagery, identity, integrity and clarity, into the aesthetic realities of scale, form and materiality. Where appropriate, there is a predilection to see the building exterior as an ‘a(chǎn)bstract’ sculptural-like object in the landscape - whether rural or urban.
