Ten Australian projects are among the finalists of the 2020/21 Inside Festival awards.
More than 100 finalists across 11 categories have made the cut, including bars, restaurants, hotels, workplaces and homes.
The shortlisted practices will present their projects to juries during the Inside festival, co-located with the World Architecture Festival, which will be held in Lisbon from 1 to 3 December.
