Docomomo Rehabilitation Award (DRAW) 2021

In 2017, Design 5 completed the fourth edition of the Conservation Management Plan for the Sydney Opera House entitled ‘ Respecting the Vision, Sydney Opera House – A Conservation Management Plan’. This document was authored by Alan Croker, and was awarded a National Trust of Australia (NSW) Heritage Award (Heritage Resources and Publications) in 2018. The CMP accompanies the Utzon Design Principles to help the SOH better understand and protect the vision and intent of architect Jørn Utzon and the contributions made by Peter Hall. The objective of the CMP is to assist the SOH in guiding and managing the many challenges it faces in remaining a world class performing arts venue, a Sydney icon, and a masterpiece of architecture and engineering.

Exemplary practices that consider conservation and maintenance plans as key tools for defying the effects of time.
