Architecture Australia

Ask architects which Australian magazine they choose to read or to publish their work and the answer is most likely Architecture Australia. If you want to be up to date with the best built works and the issues that matter, then Architecture Australia is for you. Its commissioned contributors are independent, highly respected practitioners, architectural thinkers and design commentators and each article is supported by images from leading architectural photographers. Provocative, informative and engaging – it is the national magazine of the Australian Institute of Architects.

Architecture Australia

Are yarning circles the new decal? • With requests for yarning circles becoming increasingly commonplace in design briefs, Carroll Go-Sam suggests how this element might be more meaningfully and creatively incorporated.

Liam Young: Planetary Redesign • In his exploration of the kind of architecture we might need to survive in an altered world, Young brings subtlety and ambiguity to ideas that are often presented in binary terms.

Purpose Built: Architecture for a Better Tomorrow • Offering different perspectives on the future of Queensland’s built environment in pursuit of a focused approach, Purpose Built juxtaposes recent research with historical material from the State Library’s collection.

Jury chair overview • The themes evident in the collection of 71 projects shortlisted for the 2023 National Awards were collaboration, sustainability (social and environmental), and “an overwhelming appreciation for the built environment” – no matter how large or small the project. Congratulations to the practices with winning and commended projects, each of which has its own unique story of conception, design and construction.
