Nominations sought for new National Named Award

Our prestigious Named Awards are attributed to exceptional individuals, no longer living, who have made an outstanding contribution to architecture and are held in high regard by the profession.

We are seeking nominations for a new category: the National Named Award for Residential Architecture – Houses (Alts & Adds).

Recently, National Council resolved to divide the Housing category into two categories – New and Alts & Adds. The New Houses category will retain the name The Robin Boyd Award for Residential Architecture – Houses (New).

If there is someone you believe made a great contribution to Australian residential architecture during their lifetime (through their work in Alts & Adds, for example), please let us know. The nominee might not be an architect, but they must have a strong connection with the theme of this award*.

The entrant with the best nomination will win a ticket to the 2014 Awards event of their choice**

Please email the following to awards@architecture.com.au on or before 5pm AEST, 12 May.
