WRAIGHT, Megan

Megan Wraight Death Notice: (December 12, 1961 – August 31, 2020).

Megan was a New Zealand landscape architect who has had considerable influence on the design of public spaces. She was the founding principal of Wraight + Associates Limited, which has completed a wide variety of large-scale urban projects throughout New Zealand, including waterfront redevelopments, educational facilities, transport facilities and urban-renewal projects.

Wraight completed a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture at RMIT University, Melbourne, in 1992. In 2006, she received the International Federation of Landscape Architect award, one of the industry's highest international honours. In 2013 she was the first landscape architect to receive the Arts Foundation of New Zealand Laureate Award.

Her Waitangi Park project in Wellington showcased sustainable landscape design, particularly water conservation, and her work on the Wynyard Quarter on Auckland's waterfront is an example of urban waterfront renewal.

Wraight + Associates also designed Pukeahu National War Memorial Park in Wellington, and have won many awards from the New Zealand Institute of Landscape Architects, including four of the top awards in 2017.
