The Australian Institute of Architects has announced the 2016 National Architecture Awards shortlist, with 79 projects making the cut.
The 2016 National Architecture Awards received more than 890 entries across 14 categories. The jury selected projects to be shortlisted from 209 entries deemed eligible following the extensive chapter award program held earlier in the year.
Jury chair Jon Clements said the “exceptional and inspiring” projects in contention had sparked debate among the jury.
Clements said: “We have identified a number of projects that delivered admirable outcomes from limited means. These projects highlight the enduring value of architecture and the clear and demonstrable public benefit dividend it delivers. Invention is often explored over fashion and clear commitments to client aspirations, and environmental and social sustainability, are paramount.”
The 2016 jury includes Jon Clements (chair, immediate past president of the Australian Institute of Architects and Director of Jackson Clements Burrows), Rodney Eggleston (founding director of March Studio), Abbie Galvin (principal at BVN), Stuart Vokes (director of Vokes and Peters) and Fenella Kernebone (head of curation for TedxSydney).
Members of the public will have the opportunity to vote for their favourite residential project in the People’s Choice Award, which launches on World Architecture Day – 3 October. Online voting will be available at architecture.com.au/awards-2016
The winners will be announced at an evening ceremony hosted by Fenella Kernebone on 3 November at the Ivy Ballroom in Sydney.
