Members of the Australian Institute of Architects are invited to send in their nominations for the 2015 DARCH Horse Awards, which recognises and celebrates outstanding contributions by non-architects to creating high quality built environments.
Now in its fourth year, the DARCH Horse Awards are given to a person or persons nominated by any Australian Institute of Architects member. Nominees will have made an outstanding contribution to architectural practice or an architectural outcome, through a collaborative, enriching, supporting or visionary pursuit of their own field of expertise.
DARCH Horse Awards are given across several categories including Government Authority; Builder; Client; Developer; Consultant; Specialist Contractor; and Urban Provocateur.
Winners will be selected on the basis of a two-stage nomination process. Stage 1 requires the nominating Australian Institute of Architects member to submit a 150-word summary of reasons for nomination. Stage 2 requires the nominee to submit a more detailed description of their contribution to furthering the architectural vision of the project/s for which they have been nominated.
The 2015 DARCH Horse Awards Jury comprises of Sam Crawford - Director, Sam Crawford Architects; Kati Westlake - Leader Urban Design, Parramatta City Council; and Brendan Murray - Associate, Johnson Pilton Walker.
Stage 1 and 2 nominations are now open. Stage 1 nominations will close on 23 October 2015; and Stage 2 nominations will close on 06 November 2015. The 2015 DARCH Horse Awards will be held on Wednesday 25 November 2015.
