2019 NSW Architecture Awards shortlist announced

The shortlist for the 2019 NSW Architecture Awards has been revealed.

The shortlist contains 97 entries across 12 categories.

The shortlist was developed following an intensive schedule of presentations, while now the juries, led by Chair of Juries Peter Poulet, will undertake site visits in early May.

“Jurors across categories are looking forward not only to experiencing the shortlisted projects in the flesh, but also to the discussions and debate about architectural excellence that will flow from this next and critical stage in the judging process,” said Poulet.

This year’s program attracted a wide range of projects, from major civic, cultural and commercial buildings to small public amenities, from high-end luxury residences to sustainable, adaptable homes, said NSW Chapter President Kathlyn Loseby.

“This year we have seen notable increases in entries for the Houses (New) and Multi-Residential awards categories,” Loseby said.

“Across residential projects we saw a strong trend towards a material palette of timber and off-form concrete combined with planting and courtyards.

“Sustainability is gaining even greater emphasis for architects and their clients.

“This year we are also pleased to have established a more formal entry process for the Sustainability Category, which received 97 entries.”

The winners in each category will be announced at the 2019 NSW Architecture Awards ceremony on Friday 5 July in Sydney’s Alexandria.

The winner of the NSW Architecture Medallion for best entry across all categories will also be announced.

Entries that earn NSW Chapter Awards and Named Awards will progress to be considered by the National Jury for the National Architecture Awards later this year.
