The winners of the 2008 National Architecture Awards were announced on Thursday 30 October in Adelaide. Selected from the pool of 150 of state and territory Architecture Award winners, 22 projects and practices received awards with nine commendations.

"[This year] represented an exceptionally strong year for architecture, with new benchmarks set in a number of key categories – such as public architecture, single housing and multi-residential architecture, along with heritage," says Jury Chair, architect Alec Tzannes.

"In particular, public architecture was very well represented, with many outstanding submissions from urban, suburban and regional locations. The most remarkable were projects involving private secondary school buildings."

No doubt we will hear a lot more from these projects and practices over the coming weeks and months. A selection of images and a full list of winners by category appear below.
