2012 New Zealand Architecture Awards Winner

NMIT Arts and Media Building

The winning entry in a design competition for a test-case, multi-level timber building, Nelson’s NMIT Building validates that initiative, satisfies the programmatic requirements of the building’s users, and establishes an exemplary design precedent in a growing provincial city. An innovative structure of massive timber elements delivers on the promise of confidence and legibility proclaimed by the carefully articulated, glazed street elevation, and provides an appropriate backdrop to the tertiary arts and trades courses taught in the building. The planning and detailing of the building, and the selection of materials, is also eminently compatible with the purpose of providing an economic and enjoyable learning environment.
