The Australian Institute of Architects announced the shortlist of entrants for this year's prestigious Victorian Architecture Awards, a celebration of our local architecture, interiors and design.

AIA's only awards program, the entrants are judged by industry experts and peers and has a tight judging process which includes site visits to each project.

The winners from thirteen categories spanning residential and commercial architecture to urban design will be announced at the end of June. See our favourites below and head to the AIA website to view more
