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.

National Architecture Awards 2022 • In a year that perhaps more than ever reflects “a moment in time” – when awarded projects were built during lockdowns, and many workplaces remained empty – the National Awards reflect a changing society.
