Detail InformationEdit

The New Zealand War Memorial is a war memorial to the war dead of New Zealand in the First and Second World Wars at Hyde Park Corner in London, at the Piccadilly end of the traffic island surrounding Wellington Arch and is diagonally opposite the Australian War Memorial.Designed by architect John Hardwick-Smith and sculptor Paul Dibble, the memorial consists of 16 cross-shaped vertical bronze ‘standards’ set out in formation on a grassy slope. Each standard is adorned with text, patterns and small sculptures. The budget for the design and construction of the memorial was $3 million.
The Memorial commemorates the enduring bonds between New Zealand and the United Kingdom, and the shared sacrifice of the two countries during times of war.In October 2004, 12 design teams were selected from the 68 who submitted expressions of interest. These teams submitted designs for the memorial, and an expert panel, appointed by the Ministry for Culture and Heritage, selected the final design. The design was then refined and submitted to Westminster City Council for planning approval. The memorial design is a collaboration between Dibble Art Co and Athfield Architects, led by sculptor Paul Dibble and architect John Hardwick-Smith, with Jon Rennie as the team’s London representative.
