The Australian Institute of Architects has announced the winners of the 2018 National Architecture Awards at a ceremony in Melbourne.
Twelve named awards, 20 national awards and eight national commendations were chosen from 69 shortlisted awards, themselves taken from 975 entries across state and territory chapter awards programs.
Clare Cousins, national president of the Australian Institute of Architects, said, “These awards are the most recognized and competitive in the industry. They are peer-judged and involve an exhaustive selection process, with site visits to shortlisted projects, allowing the jury to experience the quality of the work firsthand.”
Jury chair Richard Kirk, who led the jury on the intensive, Australia-wide tour of site visits, said “Projects at this level are all accomplished but it was those that could demonstrate their value broadly, beyond the limits of the brief and the confines of the site, which were nationally recognized.
“Most impressive were projects that established new design benchmarks and whose influence can be of value to the broader community, leading to positive change in our built environment.
“For the jury, it was important that all the awarded projects implemented sustainability initiatives at a conceptual level, taking a holistic approach. It was impressive to see the growing sophistication and ingenuity in this domain.”
Kirk singled out the Public Architecture and Residential Architecture – Multiple Housing categories for offering particularly strong contenders, which demostrated “great diversity, innovation and maturity.”
Joining Kirk on the jury were Jill Garner (Victorian Government Architect), Katelin Butler (editorial director, Architecture Media), Charles Wright (Charles Wright Architects) and Kevin O’Brien (BVN).
Cousins said the winners “showcase the continuing evolution and diversity of our craft and the changing needs of our society, illustrating the vital role architecture plays in the lives of all Australians.”
Elsewhere in the awards, Victorian architect Monique Woodward received the 2018 National Emerging Architect Prize.
“Monique is recognized for her entrepreneurial spirit and exploration of alternative modes of project procurement and advocacy, including self-initiated projects,” Cousins said.
