Peripheral Architecture Award

Buildings are not the only form of architectural expression. This award both seeks the artefacts produced in the pursuit of ‘capital A’ architecture, and acknowledges the historical role of cross-disciplinary practice in design. Be it models, drawings, details, site offices, furniture, cutlery or lighting design, this category is for projects that sit on or within the periphery of the built environment.

This category will include a sub-prize for best student work.

Narrative Architecture Award

This award seeks projects that creatively use storytelling and representation to explore the potential of architecture. Projects may interrogate, communicate or research a topic related to the built environment to investigate social issues, urbanism, architectural history, construction, or the effects of architecture on its users. Projects in this category may be speculative, may or may not have a ‘real’ site or client, and are not confined to Tāmaki Makaurau.

This category is also open to written, performative, or moving image work.

This category will include a sub-prize for best student work.

Degrowth Architecture Award

This award seeks projects that aim to address ‘real world’ pressures facing future generations. These projects should identify and articulate how their project addresses such issues. Themes may include, but are not limited to, the effects of climate change, inequality, colonisation, discrimination, transportation, infrastructure, material innovation, consumption or the implementation of indigenous practices. Projects in this category may be speculative, may or may not have a ‘real’ site or client, and are not confined to Tāmaki Makaurau.

This category will include a sub-prize for best student work.

People’s Choice Retrospective

This award seeks unbuilt projects hidden within the archives of designers and practices throughout Tāmaki Makaurau. These are projects which would have been impactful or innovative, but did not continue due to fiscal, social, regulatory or other external constraints. We’re searching for ‘deep cuts’ here, so projects submitted must have been designed pre-2018 and should ignite conversation within the community. Projects in this category are expected to have a ‘real’ site and client, and are confined to projects proposed for Tāmaki Makaurau.

The winner of this award will be partially selected by public vote.
