Northern Territory Enduring Architecture Award

Northern Territory Enduring Architecture Award

Annual award for culturally significant buildings in Northern Territory, Australia


The Northern Territory Award for Enduring Architecture is an architecture prize presented annually by the Northern Territory Chapter of the Australian Institute of Architects (AIA) since the inaugural award was presented in 2013. The award recognises significant, long lasting and innovative architecture with usually more than 25 years passed since the completion of construction.

2023 NT Award for Enduring Architecture, Parliament House, Darwin, opened 1994

Background

The Award for Enduring Architecture recognises achievement for the design of buildings of outstanding merit, which have remained important as high quality works of architecture when considered in contemporary cultural, social, economic and environmental contexts in the Northern Territory. Nominations for the award can be made by AIA members, non–members and non–architects, but they must provide adequate material and information supporting the nomination for consideration of the jury.[1]

The average age of the eight projects recognised from 2013 to 2023 is 32.75 years from completion of construction to year of award.

National Award Winners

Recipients of the state–based award are eligible for consideration of the National Award for Enduring Architecture presented later in the same year, as part of the Australian National Architecture Awards.

Only one project located in the Northern Territory has won the national award. In 2019 the Ayers Rock Resort (now Sails in the Desert) at Yulara by Philip Cox & Partners won both the local and national award 35 years after the project was completed in 1984.[2][3]
