National Architecture Awards celebrate our alumni

Ten projects involving the work of our alumni were recognised in last week's 2016 National Architecture Awards. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to you all, and celebrate the recognition of your innovation and commitment.

Jury Chair Jon Clements said of this year's field, "Consistent themes that emerged from the assessment process included: projects that delivered admirable outcomes with limited means, projects that clearly demonstrated the value of architecture through public benefit, architecture that explored invention in favour of fashion, clear commitments to client aspirations and to environmental and social sustainability, and significant contributions to our cities and regional centres."
