Competitions

Inviting competitive design submissions can be a very productive way for clients to explore the full potential of a project and to evaluate the quality of the design responses.

 

The NZIA Architectural Design Competition Guidelines assist all parties involved in architectural competitions and allow organisers to apply for NZIA endorsement.

Design competitions are particularly appropriate where:

  • a client wishes to investigate innovative ideas or to consider a wider range of client design options;
  • the public prominence of the project favours a wide investigation of design options;
  • the client is unable to identify a preferred architect at the outset.
