Participating in the jury for the National Architecture Awards is a great privilege, a greater responsibility and a wonderful opportunity to transect our vast country while visiting this year's most outstanding projects. It is an intense road trip covering incredible distances, the punishing schedule a source of delightful intensity through our complete absorption in a continuous architectural discourse. The role of jury chair has been in a sense the culmination of my term as president, with its focus on the positive impact architecture has on our cities, towns and landscapes. Of course, the exceptional projects we visited represent only a small part of this contribution, much of which goes unrecognized.
