The Australian Institute of Architects’ (AIA) National Jury has released the shortlist for the 2014
National Architecture Awards, with 61 projects proceeding to the final stage of judging.
The jury considered 153 projects, which received awards at their respective chapter award ceremonies in June and July. All states and territories are represented in the shortlist, which also features five international projects by Australian architects.
Jury Chair and immediate past President Paul Berkemeier was impressed with the collaborative and generous nature of many of the projects entered in the awards program.
"As a jury and as members of the profession, we were inspired by the number of projects that had informed clients working closely with the architects to achieve better outcomes. In many instances, this relationship allowed the project to go well and truly above and beyond the original brief," he said.
"The process of selecting the shortlist was a challenging one, which the jury made with careful deliberation. The projects that were eligible were of outstanding quality and we believe the resulting shortlist represents the best of the best."
The jury visited all shortlisted projects within Australia during a two-week tour.
A total of 821 entries were received this year across the 13 national categories.
The awards will be presented at the Darwin Convention Centre on Thursday 6 November.
