ArchEngBuild Challenge 2022

The ArchEngBuild Challenge is an intensive 3-day competition for New Zealand tertiary students studying architecture, engineering or construction management.

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.

When: ArchEngBuild 2022 is scheduled to run on the 29 November – 1 December.
