GAD / PERSON PROFILE
Andrew Patterson
Andrew Patterson's architecture is described by NZIA as highly particular to each commission rather than united by a repeated appearance.
Background & practice
Andrew Patterson's architecture is described by NZIA as highly particular to each commission rather than united by a repeated appearance. Its 2017 Gold Medal citation highlights strong form-making and a confident use of materials, especially concrete and steel. Projects discussed include Site 3, Geyser and The Lodge at Kinloch Club. His body of work offers a way to study how a practice can remain recognisable in judgement while producing markedly different buildings.
How to read the work
Give each project an individual architectural presence, developing bold form and material choices in response to the commission rather than extending one familiar appearance across an entire portfolio.
