2012 Vision Award Winners Announced

Viridian would like to congratulate the winners of the 2012 Vision Awards which were announced at the 2012 National Architecture Conference in Brisbane.

Now in their fourth year, the Vision Awards are designed to celebrate and promote the energy efficient and innovative use of glass in Australian architecture.
