澳大利亚建筑师协会将今年的国家最著名建筑奖颁给了富有争议的事务所——ARM建筑事务所。

2016年的金奖颁给了3个ARM事务所的董事，史蒂芬•阿什顿、霍华德•拉加特和伊安•麦克杜格尔，获奖项目有珀斯体育馆、旋风体育馆和墨尔本皇家理工大学大厅。

The Australian Institute of Architects has this year awarded the country's most prestigious architecture award to "controversial and contentious" studio ARM Architecture.
The 2016 Gold Medal was presented to the three ARM directors, Stephen Ashton, Howard Raggatt and Ian McDougall, in recognition of projects including Perth Arena, Wanangkura Stadium and Storey Hall at RMIT University.

ARM建筑事务所在其项目中惯用大胆的色彩和形式，往往使人们产生分歧的意见。

但澳大利亚建筑师协会评委团称该三人组为“三奇才”。

（评委团成员包括澳大利亚建筑师协会主席、建筑师约翰•克莱门茨，前主席大卫•卡罗金,里昂斯事务所创始人凯利•里昂，建筑师爱丽丝•汉普森，以及安娜贝尔•拉兹等人。）

The firm often employs bold colours and forms in its projects, which tend to divide opinion.
But the jury  – led by the institute's national president, architect Jon Clements, and also including past president David Karotkin, Lyons co-founder Carey Lyon, and architects Alice Hampson and Annabel Lahz – described the trio as "highly talented individuals".

“三十年来，ARM的工程实践体现了一个叛逆而富有影响力、建立并传播着文化的真正行业领袖者的天才思维。”评委会说。

“对于一些人来说，他们的作品可能是充满争议的。但对阿什顿、拉加特和麦克杜格尔来说，这是一枚荣誉勋章。”评委会补充道，“对他们来说，建筑本身就是具有投机性且富有争议的，建筑应是开放的，并最终成为一种文化上的贡献。”

"This is a practice that has been a genuine leader, influencer, provocateur, culture builder and disseminator of ideas for nearly three decades," they said.
"For some, their work is controversial and contentious, but for Ashton, Raggatt and McDougall this moniker is a badge of honour," they added. "For them, architecture itself is contentious and speculative, to be debated, laid open and ultimately affirmed as a cultural contribution."

ARM建筑事务所自1988年成立以来，在墨尔本和珀斯都设置了办公处。作为“文化建设者”，他们的作品也包含了墨尔本哈默大楼的整修项目，以及墨尔本战争纪念馆持续十年的重建项目。

“我们一直都对建筑有着浓厚兴趣，我们讲述着我们的生活、我们的城市的故事，”麦克杜格尔说，“我们为我们的创作得到如此认而感到很荣幸。”

ARM has been in business since 1988, with offices in both Melbourne and Perth. Billed as "culture builders", their portfolio also includes the refurbishment of Melbourne's Hamer Hall and a decade-long reconfiguration of the Melbourne Shrine of Remembrance.
"We've always been interested in architecture that tells stories about our lives, about our cities," said McDougall. "It is humbling to have our ideas acknowledged in this way."

澳大利亚建筑事务所授予了这枚金牌，作为对澳大利亚建筑杰出贡献的认可。之前的获奖者包括约翰•伍重、格伦•马库特、彼得•威尔逊。去年的获奖者是“抒情技师”彼得•斯塔奇伯里，其项目包括悉尼附近的滨海湾别墅、蓝山的隐形别墅。

The Gold Medal is awarded by the Australian Institute of Architects in recognition of a significant contribution to national architecture. Previous recipients include Jørn Utzon, Glenn Murcutt and Peter Wilson.
Last year's winner was "lyrical technologist" Peter Stutchbury, whose projects include the seaside Bay House near Sydney and the Invisible House in the Blue Mountains.

该奖项今日在阿德雷德圆形球场颁发，与国家建筑师会议的第一天同期举行。这是56年来该奖项第二次颁发给一个三人组。

The medal was presented in a ceremony today at the Adelaide Oval, following the first day of the National Architecture Conference.
It is only the second time the accolade has been presented to a trio in its 56-year history.
