Welcome to INSPIRE, a celebration in print of the  Australian Institute of Architects’ National Architecture Award winners.

We are delighted to launch INSPIRE 2012, the third in the ten-volume series that presents an unfolding, inspirational visual survey of the Awards from 2010 to 2020, charting the best in peer-reviewed Australian architecture through the course of a decade.

INSPIRE 2012 includes over 250 pages of exciting, innovative architectural projects by leading Australian designers who have been honoured through the Australian Institute of Architects’ 2012 National Architecture Awards (ANAA).

The 2012 National Architecture Awards celebrate a further increase in an extraordinary and varied range of entries from Australia and offshore with over 950 entries received in 2012.

Each edition in the ten part series of INSPIRE features:

_
Forward thinking designs in the fields of sustainability, urban design, heritage architecture and international architecture

_
Australia’s best houses and
new public buildings
Preliminary sketches and stunning photographs of each project, highlighting the design process from start to finish

_
Follow the visual story of award winning buildings and see the design process from start to finish – including preliminary sketches, quotes and photographs.

INSPIRE is a must have for any architect or design enthusiast.
A limited print run of 3,000 books will be published for the 2012 edition. Each edition will be individually numbered, with visual quirks linking all 10 together. When lined up, an overall graphic theme will be revealed on the books’ spines.

The INSPIRE series was developed by David Parken CEO Australian Institute of Architects, and German-born photographer and publisher Katarina Stuebe Principal REVEAL Books.

The superior visual treatment, innovative graphic design and high production quality of the INSPIRE series reflect the standard of excellence we’ve come to expect from Australian architecture. In particular, INSPIRE will capture the forward thinking approach that characterises our local industry; especially in the fields of sustainability, urban design, heritage architecture and international architecture.
