2025 Jury Unveiled for NSW Architecture Awards

The Institute is excited to announce the Jurors for this years Architecture Awards. The Awards recognise excellence and innovation in design and are conferred via a rigorous system of peer review.

In NSW, each awards category is presided over by a jury of at least three people, each contributing a distinct viewpoint to evaluate Australia’s most esteemed architecture awards. Juries are comprised of Institute members appointed and convened by the Institute’s NSW Chapter Awards Committee. In addition to submitting data and images online, each project entered for consideration in the NSW Architecture Awards is presented to a jury panel. We wish to thank appointed jury members for their dedication and hard work.
