There have been a few 'firsts' happening in the world of architecture in Far North Queensland, proving the industry's influence in shaping the future of how we live, work and play.
Cairns-based TPG Architects has designed Australia's first Catholic school to be built on a university campus, while further north, a sculpture commemorating the country's first recorded act of reconciliation has been created by CA Architects.
The Australian Institute of Architects is now asking Tropic Now readers to vote in the inaugural People’s Choice Award.

“It’s the people’s voice of what they appreciate.
