The 2015 National Architecture Awards shortlist was announced by the Australian Institute of Architects on 18 September.
From 185 eligible entries in the regional and state chapters’ architecture awards, 73 have been shortlisted. For the first time in 2015, nine projects (the most of all categories) will vie for the Daryl Jackson Award for Educational Architecture – a new category introduced by the Institute to recognize the strength of educational projects.
The Institute has also renamed the top award for Residential Architecture – Alterations and Additions to the Eleanor Cullis-Hill Award, after one of Australia’s first female architects, who designed 50 sets of residential alterations and addition from the 1930s until she retired in 1981.
Winners of the 2015 National Architecture Awards will be announced on 5 November 2015, to be held at the Advanced Engineering Building, University of Queensland, designed by Richard Kirk Architect and Hassell, winner of the 2015 Sir Zelman Cowen Award for Public Architects.
On the jury are: David Karotkin (chair, immediate past president of the Institute), Shelley Indyk (Indyk Architects), Steve Grieve (Grieve Gillet Dimitty Andersen Architects ), Peta Heffernan (Liminal Studio) and Philip Goad (Melbourne School of Design).
