2012 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
ASB Sports Centre
This project is carefully considered at many levels, from the simple, elegant shell-like roof form to the poetic quality of interior light, sound, air quality and materials experienced by the building’s users. The rhythm created by the staggered pre-cast concrete panel reveals a sophisticated appreciation that public architecture is not only about the form of the building, but also the spatial experiences created beyond the building. Light, airy and well-ventilated, the building has good visual connections to its context. It also, and importantly, lends some distinction and focus to its wider environs – it is a fine example of how excellent public architecture can make a difference to peoples’ daily lives. People simply want to go and play in this stadium.
