A NOTE FROM ROB HENRY, EMAGN
IMMEDIATE-PAST PRESIDENT
After the foundation of the Emerging Architects and Graduates Network
(EmAGN) in 2006, which brought together state/territory based emerging
architect groups, the Emerging Architect Prize was initiated. This prize was
set up under the direction of Dominic Pelle, inaugural chair of EmAGN, as a
state/territory based award and was then developed to also include a national
prize winner.

The Emerging Architect Prize recognises an individual emerging architect or
emerging architectural collaboration’s contribution to architectural practice,
education, design excellence and community involvement which advances
the profession’s role within the public arena. The prize raises the profile
of emerging architects within the profession and has given many emerging
architects the opportunity to launch very successful careers.
On review of the list of winners, what is evident is the diversity of talent and
the overwhelming level of support emerging architects have provided to the
community. Without this prize, many of these extraordinary individuals who
are committed to the advancement of architecture may have gone unnoticed.
With this prize, students and graduates have inspiring role models to base
their future careers on.
EmAGN congratulates the national winners: Nathan Gibson Judd (ACT)
– 2011, Kelly Rattigan (WA) – 2012, Clare Cousins (VIC) – 2013, Andrew
Burns (NSW) – 2014, Nic Brunsdon (WA) – 2015, and Amy Muir (VIC) –
2016.
EmAGN would also like to take this opportunity to thank AWS for their
generous support of EmAGN activities and the Emerging Architect Prize over
the past few years.
