They help chart our course toward a built environment that matters\u2014not just now, but for generations to come,\u201d Cassidy said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Of the entries, one project has been shortlisted in three categories. The Australian War Memorial New Entrance and Parade Ground in Canberra by Studio.SC, which is distinguished by a new oculus inspired by the existing building\u2019s dome, is a contender for Public Architecture, Heritage and Interior Architecture awards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Several projects have been shortlisted in two categories.
