Several New Zealand projects have been shortlisted for this year’s World Architecture Festival which will be held in Amsterdam from 28-30 November. A total of 16 projects from 9 firms across the country have been included in the shortlist.

World Architecture Festival organisers noted that the competition received a record number of entries this year, making a shortlist nomination a true feat. The complete shortlist includes 536 projects from 81 countries across its 39 categories. Each of the category winners will be announced at the festival in November, and winners will go on to compete for the World Building of the Year award or the Future Project of the Year award.

Warren and Mahoney is among the group of shortlisted firms, and managing director John Coop says, “The World Architecture Festival gives us the opportunity to take New Zealand design to the world. As New Zealanders, we are outward looking, and always seeking new creative possibilities.”
