Run by the Australian Institute of Architects, the Awards celebrate the industry’s best work over the past year and recognise the importance of innovative, user-centric and sustainable design.
The Exhibition of Entries will feature all of the entries of the 2015 Victorian Architecture Awards, ranging from projects in the CBD to rural areas.

The Exhibition follows the recent announcement of the Awards Shortlists, which included an extensive program of jury presentations and site visits to determine the very best projects in each category.
A total of 74 projects have been shortlisted from almost 200 entries across 15 categories, such as Urban Design, Heritage and Interior Architecture.
