I had the pleasure of watching the Tasmania Architecture Awards presentations to the jury on Saturday.  It was wonderful to see such a diverse range of projects with 40 entries over nine categories, along with seeing newcomers enter the awards. As Shamus Mulcahy aptly noted on the weekend, “the Institute’s Awards Program is important in that it is the chief opportunity for public and peer recognition of the innovative work of our members, and it provides the Institute generally with a valuable platform to promote architects and architecture across Australia.” It is always great to take part and support our fellow peers and I encourage everyone to get involved in promoting architecture in Tasmania on social media through sharing this year’s entrants with the wider community.  We will release further details in the coming weeks.
