The Architecture AU Award for Social Impact 2023 announces joint winners: the Fulcrum Agency and Kaunitz Yeung Architecture

The Architecture AU Award for Social Impact, Australia’s first award to acknowledge the impact projects have in the community, has announced its joint winners. Groote Archipelago Housing Programme, from The Fulcrum Agency , has been recognised for its work with the Anindilyakwa community, alongside Puntukurnu AMS Healthcare Hub by Kaunitz Yeung Architecture, a state-of-the-art health facility in a remote location.

‘The opportunity of architecture is not just in the creation of buildings,’ says Emma Williamson, The Fulcrum Agency co-founder and partner. ‘We want to seize this to leverage a new way of practising that knowingly maximises impact.’ Adds Elaine Mamarika, director of the Anindilyakwa Housing Aboriginal Corporation: ‘It’s important for Indigenous people that we have our own housing committees, chairs and directors. Strong leaders, strong voices.’For Ka Wai Yeung, director of Kaunitz Yeung Architecture, collaborating with the Anindilyakwa community on the award-winning project was an enormous privilege.
