Victorian Architecture Awards
Architecture awards, Victorian Chapter, Australian Institute of Architects
The Victorian Architecture Awards are granted annually by the Victorian Chapter of the Australian Institute of Architects.[1] They began with the Street Architecture Medal, awarded between 1929 and 1942. Apart from a single award in 1954, annual awards did not resume until 1964, backdated by one year.[2]
To mark the 75th Victorian Architecture Awards in 2003, the Institute published Judging Architecture – Issues, Divisions, Triumphs, which lists all awards since 1929.[2]
