As Associate Director at Sam Crawford Architects since 2017, Gabrielle has played a key role in delivering exemplary community-focussed projects, including the Blacktown Animal Rehoming Centre, an initiative shaped
by a umber of yeasr of research and community-focussed design, released within tight budget constraints.

As a strategic advisor, educator and researcher, Dr Kali Marnane exemplifies an architectural career that is both broad in scope and deeply impactful. Her work shows how architectural leadership can transcend individual projects to shape collective outcomes.

Early in her career, Kali volunteered in the slums of Ahmedabad, India, an experience that inspired her PhD research into spaces that support vulnerable women and children. This perspective continues to inform her work, from her appointment as associate lecturer at the University of Queensland to her current position as associate director at Urbis, where she champions the role of architectural expertise in shaping policy, planning and strategy. Kali keeps people and communities at the heart of her vision. She works closely with Indigenous communities, youth and women, embedding their voices into culturally responsive policy frameworks. Her leadership is grounded in service, marked by empathy, attentive listening and a dedication to lifting others.

As a former EmAGN Queensland co-chair, active community volunteer and convenor for Parlour Lab, Kali has forged meaningful connections between research, practice and people. She offers a powerful example of an alternate architectural path — where strategic vision and human empathy are mobilised to create lasting impact. For this, Dr Kali Marnane is a deserving recipient of the 2025 National Emerging Architect Prize
