Southern Architecture Awards & Gold Medal Public Lecture | Fri 23 June

Gold Medal Public Lecture | 4.00 - 5.00pm

Te Kāhui Whaihanga New Zealand Institute of Architects is proud to present ‘Character Studies’, a public lecture series by 2022 Gold Medal recipients Nicholas Stevens and Gary Lawson.

Known for their humanist architecture, Nicholas Stevens and Gary Lawson are the first pair to receive the Gold Medal award since 2001. The award recognises their ability to create buildings with an innate sensitivity to how people live, experience and move in the world, and that reflect both the culture and landscape of contemporary Aotearoa New Zealand and their civic-minded philosophy when it comes to architecture. They will speak on the places, people and histories woven into their architecture, and the design approach they have developed over 20 years in partnership at Stevens Lawson Architects.

All Gold Medal Lectures are free to attend thanks to the support of Aon. This event won't be livestreamed but will be filmed and loaded to our website on the completion of the tour.
