Previous award:  INTERNATIONAL ARCHITECTURE BIENNALE STUDENT AWARD News: RMIT Student Wins Biennale Student Award, 2005 RMIT Architecture student John Doyle led the international collaborative student workshop group 'Oyster' that won the Student Award, International Architecture Biennale, Rotterdam, 2005    PREMIER'S DESIGN AWARD LUMI Rainwater Tank Katrina Logan, Bachelor of Architecture (Hons), 1998 City of Melbourne Sustainability Design Award, 2006 Premiers Design Awards The project is driven by the designer's desire to integrate water conservation and architecture with aesthetics in mind. LUMI fills a gap within the market of water storage tanks. It is an object to be displayed, rather than hidden at the side of a house. Its sculptural satin acrylic casing is designed to glow in sunlight, making rainwater reserves visible, and is illuminated with internal lights at night. This effect reminiscent of the display signs throughout Melbourne, which indicate the level of Victoria's rainwater reserves. The project's target market is the inner city design community, and the designer envisages the balconies of high rise developments as LUMI's ultimate destination. LUMI is available in a range of colours and sizes, from 250 litres up to 1,100 litres, and its shape can be customised. For commercial applications, graphics can be applied to LUMI's outer surface to match a corporate identity.

The competition aimed to work with developers to provide house-and-land packages for about $200,000. Designed by Live Load partners Julia Lehmann and the late Quinton Duffy, the Well Street house is a development of the winning entry ideas."  LiveLoad is an Australian buildingdesign practice established in 2000 by partners Quinton Duffy (1971–2005) and Julia Lehmann. In Memoriam Quinton Duffy's death in 2005 was a great loss to the RMIT and Melbourne architecture community. He played a key role on the sessional staff at RMIT over a number of years, teaching in the First Year Design program and in Lowerpool Design, with studios that always engaged enthusiatically with making and materialisation as a driver for design thinking and practice. This approach informed his innovative practice LiveLoad with partner Julia Lehmann. Quinton is greatly missed by his colleagues and former students.
