Te Kāhui Whaihanga has finalised its shortlist in advance of the closing round of judging in the annual awards programme. The jury’s convenor Dave Strachan of SGA Architects said of this year’s entries:
“With such a huge number of eligible entries this year, the jury had an intense time working through to a shortlist, however the choices made meant we had much in common,” says Dave, ahead of the final judging tour.
All shortlisted projects will be visited by the jury headed by Dave Strachan, who is joined by Sally Ogle of Patchwork Architecture and Ewan Brown of Tennent Brown Architects, both of Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington, and guest international juror Clare Cousins. Clare founded her eponymous practice in Melbourne in 2005 and works across a diversity of sectors, ranging from residential to cultural.
“It’s an honour to join Dave, Sally and Ewan on this year’s national jury,” says Clare, a Life Fellow and Past National President of the Australian Institute of Architects. “I’m really looking forward to visiting each project in person across New Zealand’s beautiful regions and landscapes.”
The jury begins their tour later this month and will conclude deliberations in early September.
Winners of the New Zealand Architecture Awards, which are sponsored by Resene and APL, will be announced at an event on Thursday 16 November in Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington.
