The winners of A+W•NZ Dulux Awards for 2023 were announced at an awards evening at the Northern Club on 16 September.
The awards and the nomination process are designed to maintain the two main aims of Architecture+Women•NZ: raising the visibility of women trained in architecture in Aotearoa New Zealand and celebrating the outstanding contributions of women to our built environment and architectural communities.
The awards fit under three unique categories: Leadership, Diversity and Excellence — recognising careers and an overall contribution to architecture, rather than single buildings or works.
The winners and finalists come from a variety of backgrounds, practices and areas of the country, and represent the growth of women in the field of architecture.
The jury for this year’s awards comprised Justine Clark (Parlour), Craig Moller (Moller Architects), Dr Sarah Treadwell and Carinnya Feaunati (Designgroup Stapleton Elliott).
