Join us for the pinnacle celebration of Australian architecture as we honour the recipients of the 2026 National Architecture Awards.

This prestigious evening brings together the profession’s most outstanding architects, practices and projects to recognise the very best in design excellence, innovation and contribution to the built environment. Following a rigorous assessment process across our eight Chapters and International, Australia’s leading projects have been selected for consideration by the National Jury, culminating in this extraordinary national celebration.

The evening will commence from 5:30pm on the stunning Eastern Terrace of Queensland Museum Kurilpa, where guests will enjoy a welcome reception with premium drinks and canapés while connecting with peers and industry leaders from across the country. Following the presentation, at 8:30pm, guests will move into the iconic Whale Mall for a celebratory two-course dinner.

Throughout the evening, we will shine a spotlight on the projects, clients, architects and teams shaping Australia’s built environment. Commendations, Awards and Named Awards will be presented across all categories, recognising the creativity, dedication and impact of architectural excellence at the highest level.

More than an awards ceremony, this is a night of recognition, celebration and pride. This is a chance to acknowledge remarkable achievements, honour the people behind them, and celebrate the enduring contribution of architecture to our communities.

We look forward to welcoming you to an unforgettable evening of inspiration, achievement and celebration as we recognise the very best of Australian architecture.
