TASMANIAN ARCHITECTURE AWARDS
ENDURING ARCHITECTURE

Open to buildings in Tasmania of at least 25 years of age, the Enduring Architecture Award recognises achievement for the design of buildings of outstanding merit, which remain important as high-quality works of architecture when considered in a contemporary context. Nominations are welcome from Institute members, non-members and non-architects.
- Structures of at least 25 years of age may be considered for this Award. (However, this award category is designed to recognise the enduring features of the original work, not any substantial adaptive re-use, which should be considered under Category 7: HERITAGE)
- Structures nominated need not be previous award winners but must be structures of outstanding merit that, considered in a contemporary context, remain important as high-quality works of architecture. Projects should be assessed in terms of national significance, technical advancement, innovation for their time, symbolic significance and/or creative leadership.
- The project attribution and award citation must acknowledge the original architect(s), either individual or firm. It may also acknowledge subsequent work done by another architect in the conservation or maintenance of the original work.
- Although not essential, any additional information supplied upon recommendation will greatly assist the jury, such as the project name, practice name, address, relevant contacts, drawings and photographs.
- Before projects are visited and/or awarded, the Institute must ensure that the current building owner has provided their written consent to be considered for this award. Once a winner has been determined, additional material related to the project are gathered for publication purposes.
