Jack Cheesman Award for Enduring Architecture
The Jack Cheesman Award for Enduring Architecture is an architecture prize presented annually by the South Australia Chapter of the Australian Institute of Architects (AIA) since the inaugural award in 2004. The award recognises significant, long lasting and innovative architecture with usually more than 25 years passed since the completion of construction. The Enduring Architecture 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 South Australia. Nominations for the award can be made by AIA members, non–members and non–architects, but must provide adequate material and information supporting the nomination for consideration of the jury. The prize was initially titled the 25 Year Award, but was later changed to the Award for Enduring Architecture in line with other states and the national awards.
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. To 2022 no South Australian projects had won a National Award for Enduring Architecture. The average age of the 15 projects recognised to date is 37.3 years from completion of construction to year of award. The award was issued every second year from 2005 until 2013, and has been awarded annually since 2014.
When awarding the second award to Dr Kent's Paddock in 2007, the Jury citation read; "The 25 Year Award is not given lightly and it has been two years since it was last awarded — but the Jury’s views were unanimous. Dr Kent’s Paddock, more that any other project of its time embodies the virtues of this award — a project of considerable influence for its time and place, and one that has stood the test of time. All the more potent is that it was carried out by the most venerable of South Australia’s institutions, the South Australian Housing Trust, its role now incorporated within Housing SA".
