In recognition of the 40-year milestone, the Victoria University School of Architecture is holding a celebratory academic symposium with a range of alumni, special guests and architecture professionals on the weekend of 18-19 March 2016.

Taking place on March 18, the symposium is set to bring together a range of architectural scholars to who will be examining the scope of architecture in the 1970s and its ramifications for today’s architectural practices.

That evening will see a formal Celebration Dinner held at The Boatshed on the Wellington Waterfront, which will be followed by a Saturday 19^th of March alumni celebration, which will include presentations by former students and staff.

The weekend will be not just a celebration of the Victoria University School of Architecture, but also a celebration of design, the last effects of great architecture, and how buildings shape the cultural landscape.
