Denton Corker Marshall are without doubt a leading architecture office in Australia with subsidiary offices in Asia and Europe and with a very influential network of contacts in government and the private sector. In size and influence DCM can be compared to the German practice of Gerkan Marg and Partners (gmp).
I am always uneasy when such vast architectural machines win,- time and again; prestigeous commissions outside their national borders. It would be of interest to know who were the jury members. My own experience from participation in many Australian competitions over many years, is that Australian juries are generally mediocre and often include individuals who are not architects nor urban designers.

It was always worth to have a look into the
current Australian Pavilion as the architecture of the strandbox and exhibits showed evidence of the otherness of architecture - based on different climate, culture and guiding ideas at the other end of the world.
The new mainstream box is more than disappointing - it's the wrong signature for Australia.
