We’re excited to introduce the Jury for the 2022 National Architecture Awards. Selected for their design expertise and passion for Australian Architecture, the jurors bring a wealth of experience and an array of valuable perspectives. Tasked with evaluating and deciding on the very best architecture across Australia, the five jury members are extremely well placed to lead the 2022 Awards.

CAROLINE PIDCOCK LFRAIA | DIRECTOR, PIDCOCK
Caroline Pidcock is passionate about the importance of architecture, biophilia and regenerative design, and how they can contribute to a “culturally rich, socially just and ecologically restorative” future. She has a rich back ground of experience deriving from significant involvement and contributions to practice, professions, academia, government and community groups.
She feels strong affinity with and has been shaped by salt water environments, and is learning how to reconnect her ways of knowing, being and doing with nature to enable a more holistic approach to how she lives and works. Her current focus is to use this approach to work with others to develop essence based regenerative ideas to facilitate effective action on climate change.

After graduating from the University of Tasmania in 2006, Poppy received the Tasmanian Emerging Architects Prize in 2011, and established Taylor and Hinds Architects with Mat Hinds in 2013.
