Elegant, quirky and unique: New Zealand architecture awards 2024 in pictures
Briefly

"Following the loss of their home to the Christchurch earthquakes, Jim and Susan Wakefield decided not to rebuild on the site, but commission a new house/museum in the city centre featuring their art and artefact collection."
"The judges said heritage buildings are hugely expensive to preserve and this project involved local makers and building crafts, highlighting the importance of community in architectural preservation."
"The elegant red sheds, part of a two-storey, 7,600 sq metre science facility south-west of Christchurch, sit together comfortably in the rural landscape yet are anything but agricultural in their sophistication."
"This building forms a new focal point for the marae of Hokianga hapu Te Mahurehure in Auckland, praised for its inclusiveness and sense of history, embodying cultural preservation."
