With a state as large and climatically varied as Queensland, the Australian Institute of Architects Awards program gets broken down into seven regions before moving up to the state level. ADR has rounded up a selection of entries from the Brisbane, Gold Coast, Darling Downs and Central Queensland regional awards that are as sunny and diverse as the state itself.
