Resene NZILA Awards
The Resene NZILA Awards recognise projects shaping our places, supporting our communities, and advancing landscape architecture across Aotearoa.
From built design outcomes through to strategy, planning, research, and communication, the programme reflects the many ways landscape architects contribute to the environments we live in every day.
