The Australian Institute of Architects has announced the shortlist for the NSW Architecture Awards, with 126 entries named for a range of categories.
Presentations to jury members by entrants were completed earlier this month, as the jurors and Chair of Juries Peter Mould will now come together to determine the winners of each category, with awards up for grabs in 12 different categories.
Each category is judged by a jury of at least three Institute members. Mould says the jurors have been excellent in lending a hand thus far, but will now face the big decisions of deciding the winners of each respective category.
“Our jurors have been generous in their time and knowledge, and we are grateful for their contribution in acknowledging and reviewing so many excellent projects that continue to advance design excellence in our communities,” he says.
The 12 categories that architects were able to submit works for were educational architecture, public architecture, commercial architecture, interior architecture, residential architecture for new and existing homes, as well as multiple housing, sustainable architecture, heritage, urban design, small project and the Colourbond Award, for the winner of steel architecture.
President of the NSW Chapter of the Australian Institute of Architects Laura Cockburn says the quality of the submissions for the 2021 edition of the awards is of the utmost.
“Architecture’s role in creating spaces that reflect and celebrate community and build strength and resilience into the future has been demonstrated over the course of the past year,” she says.
“In a time of so much change and disruption to daily life, the creativity and quality of design across NSW is a credit to our industry colleagues and the collaborative efforts that have brought each project to life.”
The winners of each category will be announced on Friday 2 July, via a virtual livestream held on the Australian Institute of Architects’ YouTube channel. Winners of the NSW awards will then progress to the National Architecture Awards, to be held at the end of the year.
