Australian Institute of Architects Fellowships are given to members who have demonstrated a significant contribution to the architecture profession beyond architecture practice. It is our pleasure to announce that Neal Mackintosh has been named a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Architects.
Neal is an experienced senior practitioner and has been working in both Tasmania and Victoria for the last 30 years. He has practiced with JAWS Architects, where he is now a managing director, after commencing as a graduate. Neal registered as an architect in Tasmania in 1993 and his outstanding design skills have contributed to a number of design awards, both in Tasmania and Victoria. Neal’s broad experience covers residential, commercial, and institutional, and he responds to design issues with creativity and sensitivity to issues of place, producing work that expresses a strong connection between architecture and the landscape.
Neal has been actively involved in the Tasmanian Chapter of the Australian Institute of Architects for over 25 years and has served as both chair and member of many committees over this time, including the Tasmanian Chapter Membership Committee. He was a Chapter Councillor from 200 until 2008, held the role of Chapter President between 2005 – 2007, and served as Honorary Treasurer at National Council in the same period. He has leant his expertise to several juries, including the Victorian Chapter Architecture Awards Public Buildings Jury in 2015, and was the Jury Chair for the Tasmanian Architecture Awards in 2018. Neal has, and continues to be, a Board of Architects / AACA assessor, and currently sits on the Tasmanian Chapter Awards Task Group.
Congratulations, Neal.
