NZIA Gold Medal
New Zealand architectural award
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New Zealand Institute of Architects Gold Medal is an award presented annually by the Te Kāhui Whaihanga New Zealand Institute of Architects (NZIA) to a New Zealand architect.

History
From 1927 until 1977 a gold, silver or bronze prize was awarded each for the design of a public building and was judged by the Royal Institute of British Architects. In 1978 a "National Award" replaced the Gold Medal.
The Gold Medal was reintroduced in 1999 and was awarded to an architect who, over a period of time, made an outstanding contribution to the practice of architecture, as demonstrated through the production of a consistently high-quality body of work.[1]
