“With site visits replaced by online interviews, jurors rose to the challenge and were able to debate and remotely explore the merits of the entries,” SA Chapter president Tony Giannone said of this year’s COVID-affected process, which awarded a total of 39 honours. “We have all had to adapt and be flexible to a different delivery mode for the Awards Program this year, however we’re confident in the process and proud to deliver the program despite this year’s extraordinary circumstances.”
The South Australian award winners will go onto the National Architecture Awards, to be revealed in November.
