The Australian Institute of Landscape Architects (AILA) has revealed the winners of the 2022 National Landscape Architecture Awards with 40 projects recognized across the program’s 17 categories.
“People want where they live to improve their quality of life, their physical and mental health and the health of Australia’s waterways, habitats and wildlife,” said AILA President Claire Martin.
“The range of projects recognized in this year’s awards illustrate how children and adults of diverse cultures and backgrounds connect to landscapes every day across a range of scales from neighbourhoods to campuses, buildings to infrastructure, suburbs to cities.”
