From a field of 174 entries, the jury for the Australian Institute of Architects’ Queensland Architecture Awards have shortlisted 76 entries from across the state.
The Awards have been running for over 30 years and provide architects, their clients and the built environment community an opportunity to celebrate exemplary design across all scales.
Forming part of the National Architecture Awards, the Queensland program is one of the few in the country to include a regional tier of judging.
This tier of judging has allowed our State Jury, led by Chair of Juries, John Thong FRAIA, to join some of our local members in each region to judge the entire field of entries. Projects this year have spanned as far north as Karumba, south as Currumbin, as far east as Stradbroke Island and Winton to the West. The commitment and dedication shown by all our jurors involved is certainly no small feat.
The 2018 Queensland Architecture Awards State Shortlist was announced on Thursday during the launch of a public exhibition of all entries at at 1 William St in Brisbane.
Viewing the exhibition and the State Shortlist you will find a strong representation of work both within Brisbane and throughout our varied regions. This gives a wonderful insight into the diverse quality of work currently conducted by architects throughout Queensland.
All aspects of architecture have been covered from smaller installations of 1.6m2 up to the larger scale commercial building at a total of 127,000m2 and everything in between.
Projects shortlisted now move to State judging with the results to be announced at a dedicated event at the QT Hotel on the Gold Coast, Friday 8 June.
The Exhibition will remain on public display at 1 William St (during office hours) until Friday 25 May. No bookings required. More information is available at http://www.architecture.com.au/events/state-territory/queensland-chapter/queensland-awards/events#Exhibition%20of%20Entries
