After two years of virtual events, the 2022 Sustainability Awards returned with a bang. Taking over Sydney’s Shangri-La hotel, we celebrated the year’s most outstanding people, projects and products in the world of sustainable built design. With rapid change needed across the country and the globe, it has never been more important to elevate pioneering design to the national stage, promoting the talent, innovation and technology that will move Australia toward net zero.
Across the evening, 16 winners and 10 highly commended entrants were awarded, with master of ceremonies Peter Colqhoun inviting some of Australia’s leading talents to the stage to accept their awards. This year saw the return of many Sustainability Award alumni and also highlighted some new names, with a rich talent pool highlighting the growth, success and potential of the architecture and design industry.
The Sustainability Awards would like to thank the 2022 Jury, led by Dick Clarke, for their unwavering support of the event, and the time and expertise they bring not only to judging, but also to guiding the program and ensuring its continued place as Australia’s most celebrated Sustainable Built Design awards.
The 2022 Sustainability Awards, and the Sustainability Summit (held immediately before the Awards at the Shangri-La and online), have been made possible thanks to the official event sponsors: Best of the Best and Carbon Neutral Partner Autex Acoustics, and category partners Big Ass Fans, BlueScope, Bondor, Electrolux, ForestOne, GH Commercial, Holcim, Kaolin, Network Architectural, Next Timber by Timberlink, Sika, Siniat, Stormtech, Verosol and Wood Solutions.
