Howard Raggatt is an architect with a reputation for innovation in design practice and theory. After graduation he became a founding member of the Half Time Club, giving the inaugural talk in 1979. In 1982 he was awarded the RAIA President’s Award to Young Architects. He has played a lead role in many of ARM’s design awards including the Victorian Architecture Medal for RMIT Storey Hall, the Shrine of Remembrance and the Melbourne Recital Centre and MTC Theatre. His work has been widely published and exhibited and became an important example in Charles Jencks’ book, The Architecture of the Jumping Universe. His thesis for a critical Australian Architecture (Fin de Siecle? 1992) developed operations for the copy, translation and the blur, and included the CD Not Songs. Howard’s most distinctive work includes the National Museum of Australia in Canberra. This museum was opened in March 2001, and was awarded the international Blueprint Award, for Best New Public Building. Howard led the design for the Melbourne Recital Centre and MTC Theatre which includes a 1000-seat recital hall and the new 500 seat performing arts theatre, which is the new home to the Melbourne Theatre Company. Currently, Howard is Design Director of the Perth Waterfront development, the $350M multipurpose indoor stadium, Perth Arena and the redevelopment of the Victorian Arts Centre.
