2024 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Tāmaki Employment Precinct Masterplan
Of all the award categories, urban planning is the most difficult for architects to assess. Conversations are less about bricks and mortar, negative detailing and delightful material juxtapositions. Instead, the jury has to envisage the actionable masterplan. In the case of the Tāmaki Employment Precinct, this is a 20-year-long view. It is with some relief then, that this plan establishes concrete actions and tangible social, economic and environmental implementation. The plan looks flexible, involves community and stakeholders from the start, and yields a legitimate base so that it all may come to fruition. Bonus points for manaaki and mātauranga.
