The Australian Institute of Architects’ (AIA) National Jury has revealed their shortlist for the 2014 National Architecture Awards, with 61 projects selected to progress to the final stage of judging, many of which are in the running across multiple categories.
The finalists were selected from 153 projects which received awards at their respective chapter award ceremonies. Every state and territory is represented in the shortlist, in addition to five international projects by Australian architects.
Jury chair and immediate past president Paul Berkemeier says he was impressed with the collaborative and generous nature of many of the projects entered into this year’s program.
“As a jury and as members of the profession, we were inspired by the number of projects that had informed clients working closely with the architects to achieve better outcomes. In many instances, this relationship allowed the project to go well and truly above and beyond the original brief,” he says.
“The projects that were eligible were of outstanding quality and we believe the resulting shortlist represents the best of the best.”
Other judges on the panel include Clare Cousins, Justin Hill, Virginia Kerridge and Lindy Johnson. The jury visited all shortlisted projects, except international works, during a two week tour.
Winners will be announced on November 6 at the 2014 National Architecture Awards in Darwin.
