ARCHENGBUILD 2020 has been cancelled
The challenge
The ArchEngBuild Challenge involves 30 of New Zealand’s top final-year students in architecture, engineering or construction management. Over 3 days, students collaborate in 10 teams of three (one from each discipline) to respond to one real-life client brief.
The teams’ mission is to enhance the environment of the host town or city while also demonstrating effective inter-disciplinary collaboration.
This years event has been cancelled due to COVID-19.
Prize
The winning team receives a $7,500 prize, awarded at a prize-giving event at the end of the competition.
