The Nohonga (seat) design challenge is a new collaboration between Brick Bay, Britomart, and the Auckland Branch of the New Zealand Institute of Landscape Architects Tuia Pito Ora, challenging students and all levels of graduated landscape architects to design and construct creative nohonga for the people of Tāmaki Makaurau.

Brick Bay’s successful ‘Folly’ competition has stimulated the imaginations of architecture students and graduates since 2015. With the inaugural Nohonga (seat) design challenge established in 2020, the attention turned to landscape architects to make their mark on Auckland’s urban landscape and contribute to the generation of unique and exciting public spaces. The winning designs were exhibited in two locations - Britomart and Brick Bay - allowing for the relationship of the nohonga with both urban and natural settings. The competition is proudly sponsored by Resene, Britomart and Brick Bay.

The 2022 Nohonga competition is now open for entires. Pre-registration is due by the 28th of February and submissions are due by the 28th of April. For all details on how to apply, click here.
