National Architecture Awards 2019 shortlist

Almost one in four projects shortlisted for the Australian Institute of Architects’ coveted National Architecture Awards are located outside the country’s major cities.

A total of 78 entries, spanning the corners of the globe and every state and territory, have been shortlisted across 14 categories by the national jury for the 7 November Awards ceremony.

The national jury, led by Immediate Past President Clare Cousins, were encouraged by the volume and strength of projects in regional and remote locations across the country.

“In selecting the most outstanding projects from around the country we were heartened that such meaningful and transformational work is being commissioned in regional areas where projects have the capacity to act as incubators for regional growth and to stimulate community engagement,” Clare Cousins said.

From a total field of 895 entries in the 2019 awards program, 185 projects were eligible for national judging following success at their respective state and territory events earlier in the year.

A number of themes emerged across all categories this year including projects that delivered worthy outcomes with little means; projects that challenged typical building expectations; projects that demonstrated the value of architecture through public benefit; and projects with clear commitments to social and environmental sustainability.

“All these qualities make significant contributions to our cities and regional centres and in light of the profession’s passionate involvement in the recent Global Climate Strike, it is rewarding to see many practices challenging the status quo and pushing strong environmental sustainability agendas in their work,” Clare Cousins noted.

The jury were particularly impressed by the creativity, integrity and accomplishment demonstrated by both established and emerging architects.

Individual residential projects were particularly strong, including a number where small budgets were resourcefully deployed.

Clare Cousins was joined on the jury by Rachel Neeson (NSW), Emma Williamson (WA), Mat Hinds (TAS) and Donald Bates (VIC).

The winners of the 2019 National Architecture Awards will be announced at special evening ceremony at Howard Smith Wharves in Brisbane on Thursday 7 November.
