JURY OVERVIEW
The mobilization of architectural expertise that the Queensland Awards program generates is phenomenal – in terms of both those who submit their work for peer review and those who generously volunteer their time and experience as jurors. The keen enthusiasm of the profession for entering the awards is energized by the Queensland Chapter’s commitment to taking the awards program to every region of this constantly growing, ever-changing state. Two hundred and five projects representing Queensland’s climatic, cultural and ecological diversity were entered this year, and every one of them has been visited at least once in an exacting shortlisting process. The local knowledge of regional juries is invaluable in evaluating their peers’ work in context, while the experience is enhanced for both jurors and architects by the opportunity to meet on site. This advocacy and exchange rewards the entrants and the juries with an understanding of where the “bar” is and of which projects are the exemplars that ultimately deserve peer recognition.

JURY OVERVIEW
Public Architecture was the strongest category in NSW, with projects ranging from the delicate to the heroic. The recurring theme this year was adaptation, the careful reuse of existing building stock. Some had significant heritage value, including past industrial use, others were mediocre commercial buildings revisited and reinvigorated, and still more revealed and revered previously unloved modern works. Housing is always fertile ground here and the Alterations and Additions category did not disappoint. Contemporary additions to both modest and fabulous houses made them relevant to today’s needs. The trend is also reflected in the 25 Year Award, with a project that set standards for the reuse of industrial buildings. Careful revitalization of our massive deposit of existing buildings is making them truly sustainable.
