The Australian Institute of Architects is delighted to announce the thirty emerging architects shortlisted for the prestigious 2026 Dulux Study Tour.
Now in its eighteenth year, this highly sought-after prize offers five Institute members a unique 10-day international experience, providing an opportunity to engage with diverse architectural approaches, visit globally recognised practices, and learn directly from leaders shaping contemporary architecture. The five recipients, selected from this exceptional shortlist, will also help refine aspects of the tour itinerary, including key site visits and studio engagements.
Cameron Bruhn, CEO of the Australian Institute of Architects, said “The Dulux Study Tour remains one of the most significant commitments we make to supporting the next generation of Australian architects. This year’s shortlist showcases the depth of talent, ambition and design excellence within our emerging cohort. The tour is more than a prize; it is an investment in people who will lead our profession into the future, and we are proud to partner with Dulux on this enduring and impactful program.”
Maridza Riccioni, Commercial Partnerships and Program Manager at Dulux, commented that “Dulux is proud to continue this long-standing program, which plays an important role in nurturing the careers of emerging architects across Australia. The Dulux Study Tour offers an unparalleled opportunity for participants to broaden their perspectives, connect with global practice and return home with insights that strengthen the local profession. We congratulate all shortlisted entrants and look forward to the next stage of the selection process.”
