Adaptive reuse and conservation celebrated in National Trust's Heritage Awards shortlist

Architects are well represented on the shortlist of the 2021 National Trust Heritage Awards, recently announced in Sydney.

Running since 1994, the National Trust awards program recognizes excellence across the heritage conservation, arts and culture, architecture and design, publishing and community sectors. Architects dominate the adaptive re-use category this year and are also prominent in the conservation: built heritage category.

“There are diverse range of projects and initiatives recognized this year, and they represent the full spectrum of heritage and role it plays in defining and enriching place, telling the stories of our diverse communities and connecting people,” said architect Matt Devine, chair of the National Trust Heritage Awards jury.

The awards celebrate projects, initiatives and individuals that demonstrate excellence in the conservation, protection, and interpretation of Aboriginal, built, natural and cultural heritage.

Along with Matt Devine, the judging panel includes architectural historian and heritage specialist Noni Boyd; landscape architect Saneia Norton, National Trust conservation director David Burdon, and heritage experts Miranda Firman, Siobhan Lavelle, Lisa Newell and Phil Bennett.

Individual awards including the Heritage Skills, Lifetime Achievement, Cathy Donnelly Memorial and the Judges’ Choice will be announced at the National Trust Heritage Awards ceremony on Thursday 13 May.
