The New Zealand Architecture Medal
The Architecture Medal was awarded to a project deemed the most outstanding of a given year's New Zealand Architecture Award winners. It was awarded only after rigorous assessment by an expert judging panel that included an international judge. Before 2008, the highest honour in New Zealand architecture was the Supreme Award. In 2009, Supreme Awards were superseded by the medal.
