Architectural Designers New Zealand Incorporated (or ADNZ) is a professional body for architects and architectural designers in New Zealand.[1]
The ADNZ was established in 1966,[2] as the Federation of Draughtsmen (FAD), in order to:
- Promote and advance architecture in New Zealand through the activities of the Society, its members and its educational activities [3]
- Represent and promote the interests of members of the Society
- Promote high ethical standards of architectural design practice in New Zealand, including excellence in design and service to clients [4][5]
- Form strategic alliances and contractual relationships with other organisations
- Engage in any professional or commercial activities which assist to regulate and promote architecture and associated industries in New Zealand.[6]
ADNZ provides enhanced professional development options to members, and is vocal in advocating excellence in design.[7]
The organisation holds an annual design awards – The ADNZ | Resene Architectural Design Awards. The awards have been running for more than 25 years. The awards celebrate the best in architectural design, including residential and commercial architecture, throughout New Zealand.[8][9]
ADNZ also produces an annual design publication – Defign and a weekly blog with the same name.[10][11]
ADNZ Head Office is located in Christchurch and the organisation supports nine regional branches across New Zealand.
