Organised by Te Kāhui Whaihanga New Zealand Institute of Architects (NZIA), with support from Resene, the awards bring together outstanding final-year architecture students from five New Zealand schools of architecture: AUT, the University of Auckland, Unitec, Victoria University of Wellington and Otago Polytechnic.

Students will present their projects to a national jury of architects and industry representatives, showcasing their work and gaining professional exposure.

It's a fantastic opportunity for AUT to support emerging architectural talent, strengthen our connections with NZIA and the wider profession, and showcase our School and facilities.
The event will include:

  • Student design presentations and professional jury assessments
  • Opportunities to engage with students, academics and industry representatives
  • Recognition of outstanding student projects and the national award winners


Please keep these dates in your calendars, and do encourage colleagues and students to get involved and support the event.

Further programme details and timings will be shared once confirmed.
