Gold Medal - NZ Institute of Architects
Julie Stout (ex student) - the winner of the Te Kāhui Whaihanga New Zealand Institute of Architects Gold Medal 2021
In an interview with Jeremy Hansen, one of Julie's quotes is below:
Quote 1:
“Jeremy Hansen: What do you think led you to that decision, at age 14, to become an architect? A lot of kids your age wouldn’t have understood it as a career possibility.
Julie Stout: Palmerston North Girls High School was fantastic because the teachers there were absolutely wonderful; a lot of them were the wives of professors and lecturers at Massey University and they were really great at making you work and aspire. And I always loved art. So I did the arts course and that always had art history in it and all those fabulous books and slides of Rome and that kind of thing. So, who wouldn't have been attracted to that?.”
