Highlighting the work of landscape architects and their growing contribution in various regional and metropolitan areas, the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects (AILA) have awarded 38 winners for this year's event. Submissions in over 14 categories were reviewed. AILA National Awards Jury Chair Sara Kjaersgaard stated, “the awarded projects are sensitive, thoughtful and ambitious responses to repairing and improving our Australian landscapes...”
Coinciding with the AILA's International Festival of Landscape Architecture, the event helped promote the role the profession has in impacting social and economic challenges in Australia. With the current state of Australia's growth in urbanization and its adaptation to climate change, landscape architects are able to develop and showcase projects with the help of programs like the AILA. Submitted projects focused on open and public spaces in Australia and their collaboration with green/sustainable design.
