Get involved with this years Superstudio, a 24-hour design competition for students across Australia and New Zealand.

With a vibrant series of successful Superstudio's hosted in New Zealand for the last few years (previously limited to Australia), Auckland's Unitec School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture takes its turn in hosting this great event which launches on Friday 6th August.

As well as encouraging all students to get involved in this rare opportunity to work alongside your peers from both other schools of architecture, the Superstudio organisers are also on the look out for tutors to come in and offer a few hours expertise on the Saturday morning.  Rachel Dawkins is the one to contact if you're interested (rachel.ellen.d@gmail.com) - I've done this in the past and had an incredibly good time.

Check out the Public Event posting here for more info.

This from the Student Architecture Network of New Zealand:

Superstudio is run in conjunction with SONA in Australia for 24 intense hours. The secret brief will be released on Friday evening with hand-in and presentations on Saturday evening. Afterparty to follow...

...It'll be a great time for students from our 3 schools of architecture to get together.
This event has a great (short) history of providing an amazing time for that cross-school and cross-year level mixing.

A SANNZ AGM will be held over the course of the weekend too, where students will have the opportunity to get involved in the committee for next year. Become a part of the change to help make this Network reach its potential.


If you're in Wellington and wanting to get up to the event, check out the event listing for the chance to get in on outrageously cheap transport, in typical style the Victorians have arranged for a train carriage ride up and back for next to nothing, thanks to some incredible support from KiwiRail - kudos to them.

Bluescope Steel have generously supported the event this year, along with Gordon Harris who offer the necessary goods to get some serious work done in seriously little time.

Enjoy.
