The Australian Institute of Architects has unveiled the shortlist for the 2022 National Architecture Awards, with 85 entries in the mix for 13 categories.

The national awards program sees winners from each state and territory progress to the national stage. A celebration of diversity and quality in Australia’s built environment, National Awards Jury Chair Tony Giannone says each entry demonstrates the connection between built environment and landscape.

“In the public domain, it was pleasing to observe the increasing significance of buildings with a public ethos,” he says. 

“Many presentations highlighted the relationship of the building to its community rather than the architecture. The jury was heartened by this return to social values and the importance of the architect in society.”

Giannone chaired the Jury that comprised Caroline Pidcock, Director at Pidcock Architecture + Sustainability, Iredale Pederson Hook Director Adrian Iredale, Poppy Taylor of Taylor and Hinds Architects and Tim Ross, Director at Modernister Films.

“The jury congratulates all the entrants for putting forward their work and advocating for design integrity in the Australian landscape,” Giannone says. 

“The presentations and the storytelling were passionate, truly capturing the spirit of Australian architecture.”

2022’s program saw 184 entries submitted, with the jury tasked with determining the shortlist and subsequent winners. The jury travelled some 12,000 kilometres in just under two weeks to inspect 67 projects in a range of regional and metropolitan areas.

The winners of each category will be revealed on November 3 at an event at the Taronga Zoo, Sydney.
