How we built it

The Strategic Plan 2027 to 2029 is the culmination of two years of reflection, hard work and collaboration with by the Board, staff, National Council and members.


We travelled around the country to hear directly from members. We considered the risks and imperatives facing architects and architecture, the trajectory of the profession, the growing pace of external impacts and the industrial conditions of practice.


The result is an outwardly focused plan, with a purpose set on our near-centenarian foundations and a vision shaped with a clear view to the future.
