AILA ACT Jury Chair Gay Williamson says this year’s winners showcase the vibrancy, diversity and respect for Country present in the capital’s landscape architecture profession.

“The quality of landscape architecture in our nation’s capital is to be commended. The winning projects showcase climate-positive design, gender equity and a connection to Country,” Gay says. “What stood out for the jury was the genuine, extensive effort to incorporate First Nation’s people and their knowledge of Country in the design and management of the local landscape."
