For several years in:situ, the New Zealand Institute of Architects Conference, has been providing local architects and the interested public with a way to access the thoughts and experiences of the world’s leading architecture practitioners. In:situ speakers are drawn from all areas of the architectural landscape – physical and intellectual, geographical and typological, social and historical – they have built diverse and accomplished careers that include projects of varied scales in very different places. In doing so they have responded to the changing nature of practice and proved the continuing relevance and importance of the role of the architect.
