Winners: A+W•NZ Dulux Awards 2017
The winners and finalists of Architecture+Women’s A+W•NZ Dulux Awards 2017 were announced at a lively awards evening at City Gallery Wellington on 26 August.
These awards aim to recognise women in developing and full careers, with an emphasis on contribution to architecture, rather than on individual designs or buildings.
The winners and finalists come from a variety of backgrounds, practices and areas of the country, and represent the growth of women in the field of architecture.
The awards are by nomination, which helps to foster a sense of collegiality among the architectural community, and self-nomination is allowed with the intention of counteracting Kiwi modesty.
The jury for this year’s awards comprised Brit Andresen (Emeritus Professor, UQ, Andresen O’Gorman Architects), Sharon Jansen (Sharon Jansen Architect), Anna Tong (CAAHT Studio) and Dave Strachan (SGA).
