Ngā Aho, New Zealand's network of Māori design professionals, is the 2024 RAIC International Prize winner
Ngā Aho, the national network of Māori design professionals working in New Zealand, has been recognized by the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC) with the 2024 International Prize. The award that was created in honor of the late Raymond Moriyama was conferred this year to align with values related to the Canadian Truth & Reconciliation Commission and theme of "Indigenous Architecture." "Around the Pacific Rim, Ngā Aho have remained as leaders in the built environment of Indigenous Peoples. When we embarked on our journey to bring our nations together, we looked to Ngā Aho. Participating in each other’s design symposia for over fifteen years has strengthened our resolve to keep traditional knowledge central to our work within First Nations, Inuit, and Metis communities in this country," Sim’oogit Saa-Bax Dr. Patrick Stewart, Architect and Adjunct Professor, McEwen School of Architecture, Laurentian University commented of the winners. "As co-Chair of the Indigenous Task Force, I am honored that by consensus we nominate Ngā Aho for this year’s International Prize."Read the full post on Bustler
