The Australian Institute of Architects has announced the shortlist for the 2019 National Architecture Awards. From 185 eligible projects across the country, 78 entries have been shortlisted.
The Institute’s immediate past president Clare Cousins, who led the national jury chair, noted the strength of projects outside Australia’s major cities.
“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.
The shortlisted projects variously delivered worthy outcomes with little means, challenged typical building expectations, demonstrated value of architecture through public benefit, and demonstrated 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 national jury also included Rachel Neeson (Neeson Murcutt), Emma Williamson (The Fulcrum Agency), Mat Hinds (Taylor and Hinds) and Donald Bates (University of Melbourne).
The winners of the 2019 National Architecture Awards will be announced on 7 November in Brisbane.
