Jury unveils shortlist for the 2015 National Architecture Awards

18 Sep 2015

The 2015 jury for the Australian Institute of Architects’ National Architecture Awards has revealed their shortlist for the November awards.

Led by Immediate Past President and Jury Chair, David Karotkin, the jury selected 73 entries (59 projects) to progress to the final stage of the awards program. The shortlist was chosen from 185 entries that were eligible following success at the Regional and Chapter Architecture Awards, held around the country earlier in the year.

‘Reviewing 185 award winning entries was daunting for the jury. We reluctantly narrowed the field to a shortlist of 73, aware of the tension that comes from a process where we have the responsibility of choosing the best from a field of the best.

‘The diversity and quality of this year’s award winning projects from around the country proves yet again what a profound contribution architects are making in our society,’ Mr Karotkin said.

The shortlisted projects span 14 categories. This year, a new category has been introduced, Educational Architecture, to reflect the increasing number of educational facilities entered in the awards program. These have previously been considered in the Public Architecture category.

For its first year, the Daryl Jackson Award for Educational Architecture has a shortlist of nine projects, more than any other category, demonstrating the strength of educational works around the country.

Now in its second year, the Residential Architecture – Houses (Alterations and Additions) category has a new Named Award, the Eleanor Cullis-Hill Award, with four houses vying for the honour.

The National Architecture Awards has been held annually since 1981 and is one of the largest awards programs of its kind in the world. In 2015, there were 861 entries (753 projects) from around the country and abroad for the 14 national categories.

The winners of the 2015 National Architecture Awards will be announced on Thursday 5 November at a special ceremony at the University of Queensland Advanced Engineering Building in Brisbane by Richard Kirk Architect and HASSELL, 2014 winner of the coveted Sir Zelman Cowen Award for Public Architecture.

David Karotkin was joined on the jury by Shelley Indyk, Steve Grieve, Peta Heffernan and Philip Goad.

For the second year, members of the public will have the opportunity to vote for their favourite residential project in the People’s Choice Award which will launch in October.
