Think Brick Awards 2020: Shortlist Announced

15/10/2020


The Shortlist for the Think Brick Awards, which celebrates excellence in the use of clay brick, concrete masonry and roof tiles by Australia’s best architects and designers has been announced. Think Brick Australia would like to congratulate the finalists and thank the members, contestants and jury panellists for taking part in this year’s celebration of contemporary architecture and design.

This year’s contestants have pushed the boundaries once again, demonstrating extraordinary talent and architectural excellence. It was truly a challenging task for the jurors to assemble the shortlist as there were countless outstanding projects that showcased the limitless design potential of bricks, blocks, pavers and roof tiles.

The entries were considered by an eminent jury comprising renowned architects and experts, including Amy Muir (director, Muir Architecture), Adrian Spence (co-founder, Richards and Spence), Asher Galvin (practice director, BVN), Geoff Warn (founding partner, With Architecture Studio), Sue Barnsley (principal, Sue Barnsley Design), Elizabeth McIntyre (group CEO, Think Brick Australia, Concrete Masonry Association of Australia, Australian Roofing Tile Association).

Awards are granted across six categories all with a $10,000 cash prize: the Horbury Hunt Commercial Award, the Horbury Hunt Residential Award, the Kevin Borland Masonry Award, the Bruce Mackenzie Landscape Award, the Robin Dods Roof Tile Excellence Award, and the New Entrant Award.

The winners will be announced on the 2nd of November.
