Celebrating Architecture in Tāmaki Makaurau
26 August 2026
In September, the NZIA Aotearoa Festival of Architecture returns to Auckland, opening doors, sparking conversations, and showcasing the diversity of design across our city.
Architecture has a vital role to play in addressing some of the biggest challenges facing our communities today. At Gel, we’re proud to be part of a profession that’s not only creating beautiful spaces, but also tackling some big issues:
- How can we design for density without losing liveability?
- How do we honour heritage while embracing innovation?
- How can architecture lead the way in sustainability and resilience?
With free public lectures, workshops, open studios, and discussions led by local and international design thinkers, it's a great opportunity to explore the ideas shaping our built environment.
We're looking forward to connecting with colleagues, clients, and the wider community, sharing ideas, and bringing fresh insights back into our work. Hope to see you there!
