The New Zealand Architecture Graduate Survey:

• Longitudinal study to track the progression of

architecture graduates from New Zealand’s professional architecture programmes, into the profession and practice of architecture in NZ.

• Three surveys: 1987 to 19991; 1987 to 20082;

1987 to 2018.

Work-in-progress: Interim findings from the 3rd Survey: 1987-2018 While ‘Schools’ produce graduates in a number of disciplines/programmes, the focus in the survey is on those who graduate from accredited programmes in architecture that lead to formal registration as an Architect in NZ.

Three NZ programmes: University of Auckland; Victoria University

• f Wellington; and since 1998, Unitec. Over the 32 year period

two degree programmes have been offered:

• Bachelor of Architecture - 5 years
• Master of Architecture (Professional) – 3+2 years

Methodology Graduate lists from the architecture programmes (1987-1918) NZIA list of member (various categories) Aug 2018 NZRAB list of registered architects/vol suspension. Sept 2018 Potential errors: same names; changed family names; adoption of Anglo-Saxon names; use of ‘nick names’. Impact is small under reporting of NZIA and NZRAB membership/registration (likely to be less than 3%).

WHERE ARE THE 4827 GRADUATES?

• Architecture graduates head in different directions:
• Take up careers other than architecture.
• Pursue PG studies
• Graduates include international students who do not enter architecture

practice in NZ.

• Take their OE and/or pursue other options – may return to architecture in

NZ at a later stage?

• Enter practice in NZ.
• Data shows that about a third of all graduates over the 32 year period are

engaged with the profession via membership with the NZIA and/or Registration.

• Of the 4827 graduates :
• 19% currently are NZIA Architect members
• 16% currently Registered Architects in New Zealand

A number of Questions:

• Why are women who are NZIA Architect Members and Registered with the

NZRAB not equal to their representation among graduate – around 50%?

• Why is the ‘gap’ between graduation and registration remaining relative large

(median 6 years).

• Questions about the role of graduates in architecture practice and what are

the incentives or obstacles towards Registration, especially for women?

• The numbers do not explain why.

Still have a Focus Group discussion with women architects in practice (or who have left practice). Working with “Architecture + Women”. Still to complete an updated literature survey of women in architecture.

Founding member and past co-chair of Architecture+Women

“I have taught almost 1000 women during my 24 years of teaching, and I have watched sadly as so much talent is lost or reduced to the profession

• ver time at a higher rate than is the case with their male friends. (How

dare the profession benefit from the skills of graduates for their first five to 10 years of working, then ignore them when issues of reduced working hours arises? And how foolish?). I want to be part of a profession that is able to offer more than that to the incredibale talent that we benefit from working with.”
