Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre, designed in collaboration with local New Zealand firm Warren and Mahoney, has been shortlisted in the Culture – Future Projects category, while Xiangjiang FFC Marketing Display Centre is competing in the Display – Completed Buildings category.

Woods Bagot Chief Executive Officer Nik Karalis said the shortlisted projects are demonstrative of a culture of excellence across the global studio.

This year, WAF and INSIDE will be held in Berlin on Wednesday 15th and Thursday 16th November, 2017. The two events are expected to bring more than 2,000 architects and designers to the city for three days of conference programs, awards, exhibitions and fringe events.
