a program centred around the 2025 National Architecture Awards
Each year, the culmination of the Australian Institute of Architect鈥檚 awards program draws a national crowd and bolsters interest for the hosting city鈥檚 architectural presence. This year鈥檚 awards are bookmarked by a series of significant events that showcase excellence and innovation in Australian architecture, and all Australians are invited to join this celebration of architecture in Canberra.
