Hōete (Ngāti Awa, Ngāti Rānana) has been acknowledged for his work in advancing New Zealand and Māori architecture worldwide. The full citation reads:

Elected for his advancement of New Zealand and Māori architecture worldwide. 

Anthony Hōete’s (Ngāti Awa, Ngāti Rānana) innovative design has advanced New Zealand and Māori architecture worldwide. His transdisciplinary research into the built environment is holistic and unique. It embraces a broad range of disciplines, including architecture, archaeology, structural engineering, property, planning, and climate change. It enables pioneering research in the seismic resilience of traditional Māori architectural and building technologies.

His architecture comes from the te ao Māori view that doesn’t distinguish the man-made from the natural world, providing a holistic view of the built environment, not one siloed into separate disciplines. He negotiated the return of Hinemihi – a marae that was taken to England in 1892. Through his WHAT_architecture practice in London, he has produced over 250 design projects, including buildings and publications. Registered as an architect in four countries, Anthony’s transnational professional practice knowledge is unrivalled. He has taught at two of the world’s top three architecture schools.

Anthony Hōete is a Professor at Waipapa Taumata Rau University of Auckland and has contributed to a number of articles for Architecture NZ and ArchitectureNow. The team at AGM extend our congratulations.
