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.
