Student Design Awards
Model by 2014 student design awards winner Tom Dobinson.
The annual Te Kāhui Whaihanga New Zealand Institute of Architects Resene Student Design Awards programme brings together the top students from each of Aotearoa New Zealand’s five schools of architecture: Waipapa Taumata Rau University of Auckland, Te Whare Wānanga o Wairaka Unitec, Te Herenga Waka — Victoria University of Wellington, Te Wānanga Aronui o Tāmaki Makau Rau — Auckland University of Technology and Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka — University of Otago.
Individually or as a group, students present their project to a panel of judges. The jury assesses each work and determines the top students of architecture in Aotearoa New Zealand. A winner and two highly commended prizes are awarded.
