Celebrating an amazing 18 years of innovation and impact, this year, Architecture & Design Sustainability Awards have taken on even greater significance considering recent global events.
These developments have elevated the awards to a milestone moment, offering a clear lens through which we can view humanity's trajectory for the coming decade.
The insights gleaned from this year's entrants promise to be a powerful catalyst for change, driving us toward a more sustainable future.
It’s no surprise, then, that the 2024 awards have attracted a record number of high-calibre submissions.
And for the third year in a row, our dynamic live judging day played a pivotal role in selecting the Shortlist.

This year, the judging process was marked by a slightly easier distinction among the entries, though one juror emphasized the importance of entrants bolstering their claims and refining their narratives during the submission process.
As the quality of submissions continues to rise year after year – an indicator that sustainability is has now become a component of all building design in Australia - expectations are high for the upcoming Gala Night on November 14 in Sydney.
