Conrad Gargett, Cox Architecture, ARM Architecture and fjcstudio are among some of the architectural practices featuring in the shortlist of 70 projects nominated for the prestigious Australian Institute of Architects’ 2023 National Architecture Awards.

Jury chair Shannon Battisson said the awards were a celebration of design excellence across Australia’s built environment, from the most humble of projects to larger scale public institutions.

“These awards showcase the skill and knowledge of our design professionals in creating spaces that have a positive impact on our landscapes and the lives of those who live in and around them,” she said.

“These projects represent Australia’s leading architectural thought, with all the attention to sustainability and technical elements that are involved.”

The 2023 awards program attracted hundreds of entrants, with 178 entries eligible for the National Awards. A comprehensive judging process determines the shortlisted entries, with the jury travelling to every state and territory in Australia visiting 70 projects across 82 entries over the next two weeks.

The Institute will be following the National Jury on their Instagram platform, sharing key moments from the National Jury Tour.

The National Architecture Awards jury comprise:

Shannon Battisson LFRAIA (Chair), Immediate Past National President of the Australian Institute of Architects, Director of Architecture at The Mill: Architecture + Design
Shaneen Fantin FRAIA, Director of People Oriented Design (POD)
William Smart FRAIA, Creative Director and Owner of Smart Design Studio
