NZIA Gold Medal

The New Zealand Institute of Architects gold medal is an award presented annually by the NZIA to a New Zealand architect.

Grierson, Aimer & Draffin's design for the Auckland War Memorial Museum won the Gold Medal in 1929.

History

From 1927 until 1977 a gold, silver or bronze prize was awarded each for the design of a public building and was judged by the Royal institute of British Architects. In 1978 a "National Award" replaced the Gold Medal. The Gold Medal was reintroduced in 2001 and is awarded to an architect who, over a period of time, has made an outstanding contribution to the practice of architecture, rather than for a specific building. This contribution is demonstrated through the production of a consistently high-quality body of work.[1]

gollark: Haven't looked much but it seems to also be convoluted and have way too many extensions.
gollark: My issues with it aren't that. I just don't think it's a good protocol/software design.
gollark: I know about Matrix but don't consider it very good.
gollark: I also don't think there are any very good alternatives.
gollark: I cannot reasonably move off Discord unless there is a good alternative and people actually use it.
