About Face Awards 2008
About Face 2008 is Think Brick Australia’s invitation-only design ideas competition. View the winning designsThe programme was first run in 2006 and featured a cross section of Australia’s leading architects including Donaldson + Warn, Environa Studio and Kerstin Thompson Architects. In 2007 About Face extended this success as a competition with six participating architectural practices including Donovan Hill, Iredale Pedersen Hook and John Wardle Architects, with the winning scheme by Neeson Murcutt.
The one stage competition calls for the selected architects to design a project that exemplifies innovation using face brick. The 2008 competition had a specific focus on the “art of brick” and challenged leading architects to re-think brick.

In 2008 About Face was all about exploring the art of brickwork. As in 2007, six emerging Australian architects were invited to take part and each took up a challenging brief that aimed to explore the possibilities for brick in the 21st century.
