The winners of the 2022 National Architecture Awards

The 2022 National Architecture Awards, held at Sydney’s Taronga Zoo, marked the first in-person national awards event in two years, providing an opportunity for the industry to coalesce in celebration of this year’s most eminent and prestigious projects.

Since 1981, the National Architecture Awards have upheld excellence in the architecture profession by recognizing the strongest practitioners in the field. Dedicated to the promotion of distinction in Australian architecture, the awards program strives to positively shape the industry by acknowledging projects with positive impacts on their community.

The 2022 jury commented that this year’s entries “truly captured the spirit of Australian architecture,” with notable projects including those which are built on seminal landmarks of Australian identity, and visually and viscerally connected to place.

Bundanon, by Kerstin Thompson Architects, is steadily becoming a “reference for the holy grail of Australian architecture”, the jury said. “Bundanon is a layered work that has been sensitively handled and respects the original vision for the estate.” For its sensitive addition to the Arthur and Yvonne Boyd estate, this project was awarded both the Sir Zelman Cowen Award for Public Architecture and a National Award for Sustainable Architecture.

This 2022 jury comprised former Institute president Tony Giannone, Adrian Iredale, Caroline Pidcock, Poppy Taylor, and Tim Ross. Winners were selected from a shortlist of 85 finalists from 184 entries.
