The Australian Institute of Architects have announced the national winners of the 2017 Architecture Awards.

This year’s jury awarded projects from the largest field of entries received in the almost four decades since the national awards program began, with a total of 983 entries received and 72 shortlisted for national honours.

In total, the national jury presented 35 awards and 13 commendations across the 14 categories.

Jury chair and past president Ken Maher said the Awards play a significant role in illuminating the value architects bring to our clients and community, as well as stimulating debate and defining values within the profession.
