The School of Architecture e-Newsletter

he School of Architecture at Unitec publishes an e-newsletter biannually, keeping alumni and industry contacts informed of developments in the school and its communities. The publication also provides an opportunity to share details regarding continuing professional development (CPD) opportunities for practitioners and calls for papers published in the school's peer-reviewed journals, such as XSection and Asylum. The e-newsletter, edited by Senior Lecturer Hamish Foote, supports the school in meeting the aims of its Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Interior programmes: grounding in the historical and theoretical foundations of our disciplines; knowledge of professional, social and environmental responsibilities; development of appropriate communication skills; ability to analyse work critically; and an overview of taha Māori, the Treaty of Waitangi, and Māori perspectives as they relate to our disciplines. Publication of the e-newsletter was paused during Aotearoa New Zealand’s Covid-19 outbreak, and the following items were compiled this year to share recent developments and the return to everyday life.
