Though the name may mislead some into thinking that only Victorian architecture is recognised, it is by no means a misnomer as only the most qualified and sustainable architecture from the province of Victoria is recognised.
All of the winners of the Victorian Archtiecure Awards will be able to participate in the national Awards to be presented in October. All participants’ work can be viewed on the 25th of July in the ground floor of the Urban Workshop on 50 Lonsdale St, Melbourne.
