A Wynyard Quarter revitalisation project has won two awards.
The awards recognise the revamp of Jellicoe St, North Wharf and Silo Park in Wynyard Quarter from a working waterfront to a mixed-used area.
The projects beat global contenders including the HighLine in New York, to win The Rosa Barba International Landscape Prize.
The prize was presented to Waterfront Auckland’s landscape architects on the project Taylor Cullity and Lethlean (Melbourne) and Wraight and Associates (Wellington/Auckland) at the International Biennial of Landscape Architecture of Barcelona last weekend.
Waterfront Auckland also won the Best Waterfront Project Award at the International Society of City and Regional Planning congress held in Gydnia, Poland.
The project was one of nine projects from around the world presented to an international jury as part of the Waterfront Planning Marathon competition.
Waterfront Auckland was given 10 minutes to say how it met the judging criteria which included quality of urban planning and design, comprehensiveness, good links between city and water, innovation, creativity and uniqueness, enjoyment and profit of the general public, sustainability and improvement of the environment, and economic viability and success where the work was already in place.
