The F. Gordon Wilson Fellowship was established to stimulate new ideas and approaches to unmet housing needs across Aotearoa New Zealand. It is a collaboration between Te Kāhui Whaihanga New Zealand Institute of Architects and family members of former Government Architect F. Gordon Wilson and is awarded annually.
The Fellowship invites architects and other design professionals - including landscape architects and designers - from Aotearoa New Zealand to explore how we can help address one of today’s most pressing human rights — housing — and for the annual winner to embark on a self-directed research project supported with $20,000.
The focus of the Fellowship recognises F. Gordon Wilson’s historic role as a design champion for State Housing in New Zealand over his extensive 20th century career.
The 2023 Fellowship was awarded to Third Studio’s Mitra Homolja and Ellie Tuckey, to investigate how public housing can proactively adapt to the impacts of climate change. Their research will result in a case study for existing public housing in one of Aotearoa's most at-risk climate regions, Te Awa Kairangi ki Tai (Lower Hutt).
Applications for the inaugural fellowship can be made until 19 August, 2024. The recipient or recipients will be announced at the New Zealand Architecture Awards on November 22.
