State of Origin Round One was just as close off the field as it was on. Judging by your votes, Queensland was successful on the rugby league pitch as well as on the pages of Architecture & Design, edging out NSW in our residential architecture matchup.

But game two is a different day and a different architecture category. NSW architects are well-known for producing some of the best educational projects in Australia and their team has some formidable names among those listed.

Below is two “teams” of educational projects from NSW and QLD, selected from the Australian Institute of Architects State Architecture Awards and completed over the past two years.

Be sure to let us know who you think would win the contest in the comment field below and stay tuned for round three.
