The Masters by Project programme is a lab for landscape and architectural graduates to ask searching question about their own practice and the ways that practice can connect to the world.

The programme encompasses a range of graduates who bring their own unique perspectives to research work. Their research often crosses disciplinary lines. The result is a constellation of ideas that resolve around concerns rather than specific disciplinary problems. This work is developed in presentation and discussion at four workshops held through out the year. Important practitioners and academics in their field and associated professionals, developers, iwi, and local government, not only critique the work but help to engender a larger conversation about the impact of the research for the bigger community.

What is the shape of the wananga of the future and how will this affect the form of the marae? How can the social problematic of suburbia be addressed? What is the social ecology of the industrial park? These are just a few of the critical questions that the graduates are engaged with.

New research work in the programme is becoming more focused on specific problems to do with Auckland’s predicted growth; where can development occur in a way that will not affect Auckland’s unique landscape and lifestyle? This work is being carried out in collaboration with practice and industry.
