The 2019 Tasmanian Architecture Awards saw 40 entries spanning the entire state, over nine categories. From here the jury of three local architects and graduates, a guest architect and a guest juror have created a shortlist of 19 projects ‘from a treehouse to a major art museum exhibition’.
Jury chair Neal Mackintosh, director of Tasmanian firm JAWS Architects highlighted that ‘as usual, a high level of inventiveness is evident, with Tasmanian architects stretching lean budgets to produce spatially rich and engaging buildings’. Necessity is the master of invention, and Tasmanian architects are the masters of resourceful and beautiful design!
The winners in each category will be announced on July 6th, which leaves plenty of time for online swooning between now and then.
