The Richard Roach Jewell Award for Enduring Architecture is an architecture prize presented annually by the West Australian Chapter of the Australian Institute of Architects (AIA) since the inaugural award was presented in 2015. The award recognises significant, long lasting and innovative architecture with usually more than 25 years passed since the completion of construction.

Background

The Award recognises achievement for the design of buildings of outstanding merit, which have remained important as high quality works of architecture when considered in contemporary cultural, social, economic and environmental contexts in the state of Western Australia. Nominations for the award can be made by AIA members, non–members and non–architects, but they must provide adequate material and information supporting the nomination for consideration of the jury. [1] The Award also provides opportunity to recognise buildings that were not previously submitted into annual AIA awards programs.

The inaugural award presented in 2015 was known as the Enduring Architecture Award in line with other states. In 2016 it became a 'named award' in recognition of 19th century colonial architect Richard Roach Jewell. [2]

The average age of the 10 projects recognised between 2015 and 2024 is 52.6 years from completion of construction to year of award.

National Award Winners

Recipients of the state–based award are eligible for consideration for the National Award for Enduring Architecture presented later in the same year, as part of the Australian National Architecture Awards. [3]

Only one project located in Western Australia has won the national award. In 2015 the restored Council House won both the state and national award, 52 years after the building was completed in 1963. [4]

Multiple Award Winners

Two Perth based firms, Howlett and Bailey Architects and Cameron Chisholm Nicol have both won the award on two occasions.[ citation needed ]
