Gisborne/Hawke’s Bay Architecture Awards 2020: Shortlist revealed
The Gisborne and Hawke’s Bay branches of Te Kāhui Whaihanga New Zealand Institute of Architects (NZIA) combined once again this year to present 17 finalists for their local awards.
The shortlist was selected by a jury comprised of Napier architects Renee Woods and Ezra Kelly, Te Awanga architect Yvonne Forrest and Auckland architect Gary Lawson.
Jury convenor Woods noted that it was “really heartening to see what a difference good architecture is making in the communities of our region”.
“The shortlist includes outstanding examples of a wide range of the types of buildings that architects design,” Woods continued.

The NZIA has noted that the COVID-19 lockdown has halted the usual jury visits to shortlisted projects. “Resumption of the visits or the adoption of alternative means of deciding award-winners are dependent on the national measures adopted to combat the COVID-19 pandemic,” the organisation says.
The NZIA Architecture Awards programme is supported by Resene.
