To further showcase the sustainability benefits, versatility and design possibilities of terracotta roof tiles, a new award category has been introduced this year, named after renowned architect Robin S. Dods. Robin Dods believed in sustainable design to suit the climate, especially in roofing. His distinctive style of gablet roofs for domestic dwellings, which combined passive solar design while allowing for ventilation and insulation, became prevalent all over Queensland in the early 1900s. 2016 will see the inauguration of the Robin Dods Terracotta Roof Award for the best residential or commercial building design that has made inventive use of terracotta roof tiles as a prominent feature. In addition to the $15,000 cash prize for the Robin Dods Terracotta Roof category, and $10,000 cash prizes for the other five categories, a Grand Prix Prize will be awarded to the overall best entry across all six categories. The winner will win two Business Class tickets to Venice Biennale 2018. In 2015, we received over 300 nominations across all award categories. Every year we continue to be inspired by the creativity and innovation in architectural designs using roof tiles. We look forward to seeing how your projects have transcended their roof tile beginnings to embody timelessness. Elizabeth McIntyre CEO Roofing Tile Association of Australia 4 5 ROOF TILE EXCELLENCE AWARD FINALIST 2015 Industry overview Who is Roofing Tile Association of Australia? Nedlands Residence The Roofing Tile Association of Australia is the roof tile industry’s peak organisation, Roger Cuperus representing the concerns and interests of members across the country, with a particular Design & Drafting focus on training (including apprenticeships) and occupational health and safety issues. The RTAA represents more than 90 per cent of the roof tile industry, including all manufacturers of concrete and terracotta roof tiles. Tiled roofs combine superior durability, colour fastness, strength with a long life. They also help reduce the intrusion of external noises, provide protection against radiant heat in a bushfire, have high levels of thermal insulation, and offer more resistance to wind suction than lightweight sheets. Those are just some of the reasons why tiled roofs are preferred by more home owners and builders across Australia. Australian Roof Tiling Market The roof is an integral part of any building, and roof tiling celebrates a skilled trade to execute design. In 2013, the Roofing Services industry generated a total of $2.65 billion in revenue with $875 million value-added services.
