NEW SOUTH WALES CHAPTER
The Institute’s NSW Chapter is headquartered at Tusculum, a heritage listed Colonial Regency villa in Potts Point. We support more than 4000 members through a wide range of programs including: CPD and public talks; publication of Australia’s longest running architectural journal, Architecture Bulletin; an extensive awards program; advocacy campaigns; and heritage services.
We actively engage with local and state government to promote best practices in urban planning and the profession in general. Since 1949, we have also maintained a register of significant architecture in NSW, focusing on 20th century heritage.
The NSW Chapter recognises the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation as the traditional land owners of Tusculum. We pay our respects to their Elders, past, present and emerging.

Accelerate Action
“Emphasizing the urgency of making faster, more effective strides toward gender equality.”
At its current pace, true gender parity won’t be achieved for another 143 years. Despite decades of effort, progress has been too slow as women in architecture continue to face significant challenges.
This year, International Women’s Day is focused on the critical need to swiftly dismantle the systematic barriers hindering gender equality. Focusing on impactful solutions for long term change remains key. This includes actively promoting women in leadership positions, fostering inclusive work environments, and ensuring that architectural designs prioritize the needs and perspectives of women and girls.
Hear from Annabel Lahz, our key speaker this year. Winner of the 2024 Marion Mahony Griffin Prize and Director at lahznimmo architects, Annabel has led in distinguished practice for over thirty years.
Join the conversation at this years’ International Women’s Day Breakfast.
