The Australian Institute of Architects has revealed the shortlist for the 2023 New South Wales Architecture Awards.
More than 130 entries have been shortlisted across categories of public architecture, residential architecture, sustainability and others.
“It reflects who we are as people and shows us what makes us ‘tick’ – representing our future history,” said NSW chapter president Adam Haddow.
“This year’s NSW Architecture Awards shortlist represents projects built almost entirely during the pandemic - pleasingly they are full of optimism, beauty, joy, and delight.
“Collectively the projects shine a light on our challenge to solve the two greatest challenges of our age – finding a sustainable future and delivering housing equity.
“Some of the best contemporary architecture in the world is delivered in NSW. Buildings are better when architects are involved, delivering value across financial, health and wellbeing, and sustainability measures for our communities. We should be incredibly proud of the hard work and efforts of our profession.”
The shortlisted entries will progress to the next round of judging in which the jury will visit each project. Winners will be announced at a live event at Sydney Modern on 23 June.
