From a football stadium to a high school library, from a community hub to an aquatic centre, and from a train station to a heritage town hall, 126 architecture projects have been shortlisted for the 2024 New South Wales Architecture Awards.

The awards provide a platform to showcase the excellence of local practitioners and the value they bring to society, says NSW Chapter president Adam Haddow.

“The Institute is dedicated to the promotion of Australian architects and architecture in both national and global arenas.

“Since 1981, we have upheld excellence in the profession by recognising best practice in the field through our National Architecture Awards program and inspiring others to continue striving to positively shape communities through architecture.”

The shortlist includes projects from multiple categories including Commercial Architecture, Educational Architecture, Heritage, Interior Architecture, Public Architecture, Residential Architecture - Houses (Alterations and Additions), Residential Architecture - Houses (New), Residential Architecture - Multiple Housing, Small Project Architecture, Sustainable Architecture and Urban Design.

The NSW awards are part of the National Architecture Awards program, with the nominees for the state awards selected following a rigorous judging process. Awards juries met for two days from February 17-18 to listen to 246 project presentations before creating the shortlist. Site visits to all shortlisted projects will occur in April.

Commenting on the inclusion of more adaptive reuse projects in this year’s shortlist, Haddow says, "This speaks to a societal shift that is refocusing energy towards reuse with the intent of redeploying embodied carbon.”

"Architects are also increasingly acknowledging the impact of the built environment on the natural and cultural landscape, and particularly our impact on First Nations people. We are particularly excited by the number of projects that challenged convention and aimed to address Connecting to Country and Truth Telling."

Winners will be announced on 28 June 2024 at the NSW Architecture Awards.
