An exemplar jury for the 2025 INDE.Awards
Published
With the 2025 INDE.Awards now over, it’s time to take a breath before it all begins again in early December. However, integral to the awards this year and every year is the jury – and what an amazing group came together in 2025.
A jury is the backbone of any awards program and so it is with the INDE.Awards where exemplar practitioners come together to review and assess entries. This year there was a complement of 34 jurors – each with their particular expertise that covered every aspect of architecture and design – from commercial, retail and hospitality, education, workplace and health through to residential and interior projects, object design, graduates and photography.
We would like to thank each and every one of our talented and very busy jurors for their time, expertise and professional judgment that forms the shortlist and ultimately the Honourable Mentions and Winners. It’s not an easy task and takes precious time, however, we are very grateful for your dedication to the INDE.Awards and for making the 2025 INDEs such a success.
Among the illustrious group in 2025 are Founders and Principals of their own practices, a Gold Medal winner, practitioners recognised for their outstanding contribution by their respective Architecture Institutes, architects and designers who are feted in their own country, our region and globally as every juror is recognised as a leader of design.
It’s a jury that highlights the depth of architecture and design talent in the Indo-Pacific but also brings a perspective from Europe and America. And so, to the jury members of the 2025 INDE.Awards, our sincere thanks go to,
