The weekend was jam-packed with architectural wonder – and a touch of glitz and glamour – as state Architecture Awards presentations were held in Victoria, Queensland and Tasmania.
Themed ‘Learning from Las Vegas’, the Victorian Architecture Awards were held on Friday night and Victoria’s top architecture firms came together to recognise the state’s best.
Named Awards, Awards and Commendations were awarded in 12 categories as well as several specialist Awards, including residential, commercial and public projects, with key trends including the blending of community, health, arts and education projects with great design.
James Staughton, Chair of Juries commented, ‘The level of entries this year again showcases the tremendous talent of Victoria’s architects and the impact they have on public and private spaces, and those that use them.’
