  • Architecture Awards Recognise the Year's Best Buildings
    Media release: 30 October 2015 Architecture Awards recognise the year’s best buildings Twenty-eight projects, ranging from a combined train station and tertiary institution in south Auckland to a showroom in Shanghai, and from a radiotherapy unit in Tauranga to an apartment building on the Wellington waterfront, have won awards in the country's premier architectural competition, the New Zealand Architecture Awards. The winners in the long-running awards programme, which is run by the New Zealand Institute of Architects, were announced in an event at Auckland Museum on Friday 30 October. The top award, the 2015 New Zealand Architecture Medal, went to the new Blyth Performing Arts Centre at Iona College, Havelock North, designed by Stevens Lawson Architects. The same practice won a New Zealand Architecture Award for another building at the same school - the Iona College Information Resource Centre. This year's Architecture Awards saw the introduction of three best-of-category awards named for eminent New Zealand architects: the John Scott Award for public architecture, won by the Christchurch Botanic Gardens Visitor Centre, designed by Patterson Associates; the Sir Ian Athfield Award for housing, won by Lyttelton Studio Retreat, designed by Bull O'Sullivan Architecture; and the Sir Miles Warren Award for commercial architecture, won by the Stranges and Glendenning Hill Building Replacement, designed by Sheppard & Rout Architects. Awards jury convenor, Auckland architect Pete Bossley, said there was an abundance of buildings available for consideration by the judging panel, which also included architects Sharon Jansen from Wellington, Jeremy Smith from Nelson, and Damien Eckersley from Brisbane.

  • NZ Architecture in the 1970S: a One Day Symposium
    "all the appearances of being innovative": NZ architecture in the 1970s: a one day symposium Date: Friday 2nd December 2016 Venue: School of Architecture/Te W āhanga Waihanga [please note due to building work, the symposium may be held on the Kelburn campus at VUW, more details closer to the date]. Victoria University/Te Whare W ānanga o te Ūpoko o te Ika a M āui, Wellington Convener: Christine McCarthy ([email protected]) Mike Austin's seemingly faint praise, in a 1974 review of a medium-density housing development, that the architecture had "all the appearances of being innovative," is echoed in Douglas lloyd Jenkins' observation that: "Although the 1970s projected an aura of pioneering individualism, the image disguised a high degree of conformity." The decade's anxious commencement, with the imminent threat of the European Economic Community (EEC) undermining our economic relationship with Mother Britain, was perhaps symptomatic of a risqué appearance being only skin deep. Our historic access to Britain's market to sell butter and cheese was eventually secured in the Luxembourg agreement, which temporarily retained New Zealand trade, but with reducing quotas, as a mechanism to gradually wean New Zealand's financial dependency on exports to Britain. As Smith observes: "Many older better-off Pakeha New Zealanders considered as betrayal Britain's entry in January 1973 to the EEC." The same year we joined the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). As if in response, in architecture, colonial references were both recouped and abused, though lloyd Jenkins also credits the wider Victorian revival, dating from the mid-1960s, to its co- incidence with "a period in which most New Zealand towns and cities began to celebrate their centenaries." Peter Beaven's Chateau Commodore Hotel (Christchurch, 1972-73), as an example, alluded to Stokesay Castle (Shropshire, 1285) and a thirteenth-century barn (Cherwill, Wiltshire), resulting in a "playful ..
