The jury for the Australian Institute of Architects’ 2012 National Architecture Awards has unveiled their shortlisted projects in the lead up to the November 1 presentation ceremony in Perth. For the first time in the Awards’ history, the Institute has released the names of projects shortlisted by the jury in advance.

Brian Zulaikha, 2012 Jury Chair and Immediate Past President noted:

‘From a total of 140 award winning projects from all states and territories in Australia, the jury has chosen to shortlist 59 projects. This is a record number and is indicative of the high standard of architecture in this country.’

The 2012 National Awards ceremony will be held at Midland Railway Workshops, a colourful collection of early 20th century industrial buildings in Perth’s north-east. This will be the first time the National Awards have been held in Perth in its 31 year history.
