2024 nsw juries

2024 NSW ARCHITECTURE AWARD JURORS

The Institute’s Architecture Awards recognise excellence and innovation in design and are conferred via a rigorous system of peer review.

In NSW, each awards category is presided over by a jury of at least three people. Juries are comprised of Institute members appointed and convened by the Institute’s NSW Chapter Awards Committee. In addition to submitting data and images online, each project entered for consideration in the NSW Architecture Awards is presented to a jury panel. We wish to thank jury members for their dedication and hard work.
