The Australian Institute of Architects has announced the shortlist for the 2016 NSW Architecture Awards.
From 170 entries, 19 jurors carried out an extensive schedule of site visits and presentations across 12 categories.
NSW chapter president Shaun Carter said this year’s shortlist had demonstrated what design excellence in architecture and the build environment is and what it means.
“There has never been a better time for NSW Architects to shine a bright light on the importance of design in good city and place making across NSW,” Carter said.
“Quality, design-led processes provide the best value result for a project and achieve a high level of economic, social, cultural and environmental outcomes. The projects highlighted in this year’s shortlist demonstrate excellence across all four of these key characteristics and embody the true meaning of “value” in an architectural project.”
The winners of each category will be announced at the 2016 NSW Architecture Awards presentation evening on 1 July at the Australian Technology Park in Eveleigh in Sydney.
A host of other prizes will also be announced on the night including the Blacket Prize for regional architecture, the NSW.
Winners of the 2016 NSW Named Awards and Architecture Awards will progress to the National Architecture Awards to be announced in November 2016.
