As the end of the year draws near, we are excited that entries are now open for the Tasmanian Architecture Awards. The Awards recognise the finest accomplishments of Tasmanian architects and we encourage members to engage with the process, whether it be through entering a project, attending the presentation to the jury, or through the active encouragement of peers.
I am delighted to announce Shamus Mulcahy as the new Chapter President for the 2019-2020 term. Congratulations also to Emily Ouston, Daniel Lane & Dik Jarman who will be joining the Tas Chapter Council this year, with returning members Richard Crawford and Carly McMahon. We are looking forward to working with the Tasmanian Chapter Council to tackle industry issues and promote the profession in the coming years.
Every week the chapter office draws closer to the final tally for attendees at this year’s Open House Hobart, currently the total sits at 18,497, with a few venues still left to count. We are very happy to see the numbers fast approaching 19,000 after a huge effort from our Institute members, the greater architectural community and of course the general public.
Lastly, I’d love to extend a warm invitation to you all for our upcoming Christmas parties taking place in Launceston on Thursday the 6th and Hobart on Friday the 14th, please be sure to RSVP.
