Success at NZILA Awards

Unitec Landscape Architecture Staff and Students have been announced as finalists in the NZILA Pride of Place Landscape Awards 2015.

Each of the 11 categories have between 3 and 5 finalists, one of these will be crowned the winner at the awards evening in Rotorua on Friday 20th March.

We are finalists in both the planning publication category and the student category.  Achievement of finalist status is a great honour and credit to those involved given the number of entries in the awards and the quality of work from across New Zealand.  We wish them well for the final announcment of the winners in March.

Planning Publication Category:

XSection Journal by Peter Griffiths, Unitec
X Section combines relevant opinion and review and extends the dialogue between students and practitioners about research and the architecture of landscapes in Auckland, and more broadly.


Student Category:

Lifelines by Andrea Reid, Unitec
Well-developed contemporary interventions that enable effective continuity of care to the existing Auckland landscapes.  This approach projects landscape architects as the providers and protectors of lifelines with a present and future focus on sustainability within the urban fabric.


Cultural Landscape of Tourism by Meg Back, Unitec
This systemic perspective encourages the expansion of traditional views beyond the profession of landscape architecture but facilitates the interaction between several paradigms of tourism and the cultural landscape with authenticity and integrity.
