2019 Marion Mahony Griffin Prize Winner

ABBIE GALVIN FRAIA

Abbie Galvin is an inspiration to her profession and widely considered an architect for her generation.

The recipient of more than 40 state, national and international awards over a 25 year career, Abbie’s design portfolio spans across public, urban, health, research, defence, education, commercial and workplace projects, all with her distinct knack for bringing a fresh approach to common challenges.
Abbie resonates the benefits of diversity for delivering design excellence.
She is a firm believer that building typologies benefit from exposure to other sectors; that experts in their field will always learn something from amateurs; and that innovation, at its core, springs from cross-disciplinary conversation and collaborations.

Abbie regularly presents at conferences; is active in architectural education; has sat on numerous juries, nationally and internationally; and participates in design advisory panels, most notably the Sydney Opera House and the inaugural NSW Department of Planning and Government Architects Office.
