 The sheer diversity of the innovative, vibrant, intelligent designs submitted for this session of the Awards demonstrates, according to the jury, the new urban design challenges in a context of financial cut-backs that are forcing architects to find new ways to express their creative intent.The old reservoir under Paddington gardens in Sydney is a listed as a site of Australian State Heritage. Its subtle conversion into a redesigned urban park, has become a most popular place for the people of Sydney. The Wan Award in the unbuilt category went to the first phase of the Chicago Central Area DeCarbonisation plan, a roadmap for meeting the 2030 goal of a 100 % reduction in CO2 emissions. The WAN Awards programme is organised by World Architecture News, the international on-line magazine, UIA media partner. Each session of this bi-monthly awards programme is devoted to a different sector of the built environment. The next session of the WAN Awards is for the commercial buildings sector. The deadline for submitting projects is 31 October 2010.
