Edmond and Corrigan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edmond and Corrigan is a firm of architects based in Melbourne, Australia. The principals are Maggie Edmond and Peter Corrigan. Corrigan is an Adjunct Professor in the School of Architecture at RMIT University and has taught design studios there for over 30 years.

The practice is notable for its critical contributions to Australian architecture since the 1970s, mostly through work in the Melbourne metropolitan area. The firm has developed a unique style derived from the forms, motifs and materials of everyday buildings in Australian suburbia. Corrigan's innovative sensibility has produced many remarkable buildings that have established the firm's reputation among architecture critics nationally and internationally.

Among the most well-known of the buildings designed by Corrigan and Edmond are Ringwood Library (1996), RMIT Building 8 (1993), the Athan House (1988), Belconnen Community Centre (1988, Canberra), Dandenong College of Tafe, Stage 3 (1988), and the Chapel of St Joseph, Box Hill (1976)

In 2003 Peter Corrigan was awarded the RAIA Gold Medal, 2003, the highest accolade of the Australian architecture profession. In 1993 he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate in Architecture from RMIT University.
