Two important community issues, diversity and affordability, were at the centre of a number of projects announced in the shortlist for this year’s NSW Architecture Awards.

A total of 88 projects have been shortlisted from a record field of over 200 entries from around the state. The shortlist announcement follows an extensive review by a team of 17 jurors across 12 categories.

Australian Institute of Architects (AIA) NSW chapter president, Andrew Nimmo, has made comment on the high calibre of nominees this year. He noted that this year's shortlist displayed the important and varied contributions made by architects to the environment and quality of everyday life.

Design submissions received this year encompass a broad range of scales, representing everything from beach shelters and play spaces to community centres and university buildings. Each of the shortlisted projects highlights the importance of promoting design excellence at all levels of the built environment.

Housing affordability and diversity were underlined as key advocacy priorities for the institute this year. Nimmo added that it was encouraging to see a large number of entries in this year’s multiple housing category, showing how density done well and considered urban design can enhance the liveability of Australian cities.

The winners of the NSW Architecture Awards will be announced at a presentation evening on Saturday 1 July at Luna Park in Sydney.

Winners of 2017 NSW Named Awards and Architecture Awards will progress to the National Architecture Awards, to be announced in November 2017.
