The Australian Institute of Architects recognise the best buildings completed in the preceding year in their annual awards program.
Due to Covid lockdown in 2020, the Robin Boyd Foundation, in partnership with the Australian Institute of Architects, were grateful to the architects who have contributed the following videos showcasing their short-listed and award-winning projects.
We acknowledge the support of Creative Victoria, the AIA and the Boyd Circle in making this Virtual Open House event possible.
