The 2013 Auckland Architecture Awards, an official, peer-reviewed programme of the New Zealand Institute of Architects, were held last night (16 October) at Shed 10 on Queens Wharf. Convenor of the awards jury, Auckland architect Megan Rule, said the standard of the entries is reflected in the high number of awards presented – 46 in total.
“The global recession had an impact on many architectural practices, but we’re emerging from that with vigour,” Rule said. “It’s encouraging to see such excellent work across the board.”
The jury, which included architects Jane Rooney and Rachael Rush and Gus Fisher Gallery director Linda Tyler, had a very busy week, visiting many of the 118 projects entered into the awards programme.
Among the trends discerned by the jury, Rule identified a tendency to smaller-scale work across all categories, from public buildings to houses.
“While the architectural imprint was reduced, the projects themselves were more crafted and elegant,” Rule said. “Sustainability, too, is on the rise, not just in terms of acknowledging an eco-philosophy but in extending this to offset the carbon footprint of buildings.”
Another observation was the sense of family-friendliness that architects had brought to public environments and workplaces.
“Perhaps that’s because more women have an increasing influence in the industry, as architects but also as clients and end users,” Rule said.
While there were many superb houses in the line-up, this design excellence did not extend to multi-unit developments, a category in which no awards were made. “Sadly, this is an area where the involvement of architects is lacking,” Rule said. “This is surprising when you consider how important multi-unit projects are set to become in Auckland.”
