Colorado Esplanade wins 2017 L.A. Business Council Architecture Awards
Santa Monica's Colorado Esplanade, designed by leading landscape architecture practice Peter Walker & Partners (PWP), is among the projects recently honored by the Los Angeles Business Council with a 2017 Architectural Award. Since 1970, the Los Angeles Architectural Awards has honored projects that embrace innovative design principles and reshape our vibrant urban landscape.
With this project, Colorado Avenue has transformed from a back alley into Santa Monica’s active front door. Active with pedestrians at all times of day, the 3-block development along the Esplanade has been stimulated, encouraging a new bike center as well as new hotels and cafés which are now open or under construction. The project makes use of municipal recycled urban runoff to irrigate the plants, and the identifiable integration of different modes of travel works to create a sustainable and provocative urban design element that is able to grow and evolve into the future.
Congratulations to all of our winners who embody the extraordinary spirit of creativity and collaboration that makes Los Angeles a world-class city.

Barangaroo Reserve Wins Australia's Infrastructure Project of the Year
Australia's Infrastructure Project of the Year was awarded to Barangaroo Reserve, a redeveloped parkland and new landmark for Sydney.
In choosing the parkland, the Judging Panel made a strong statement that projects need to be more than just bricks and mortar, they need to offer social and cultural improvements. Barangaroo Reserve was successfully able to achieve this and in the process set itself apart from a strong field of candidates.
The $250 million project cleverly integrates land use that improves community amenity with efficient and cost effective infrastructure. The reserve includes tidal rock pools created from sandstone excavated from Barangaroo and a massive new cultural centre, known as the Cutaway, built inside the headland.
In honor of the late James Daniel Bybee, this award is presented by BSI to an individual for a body of work executed over time and distinguished by outstanding design and use of natural stone. Recipients include Malcolm Holzman, FAIA; M. Paul Friedberg, FASLA; Cesar Pelli, FAIA; Lawrence Halprin, FASLA; Henry N. Cobb, FAIA; Laurie D. Olin, RLA, FASLA; and Robert Frasca, FAIA and now, Peter Walker, FASLA.
