The Brick Bay Folly 2026 is now open for entries from structure college students and up to date graduates (throughout the final ten years) to create designs that discover the intersection between sculpture and structure.
The annual competitors permits groups to collaborate on the creation of experimental and progressive architectural follies, with the profitable workforce receiving $30,000 in grants in the direction of realising their proposed folly design. Entries are due by 9 am Monday, 16 June 2025.
Together with grant and sponsorship cash, the chosen profitable workforce will obtain mentorship and technical help from Resene, Cassidy Development, Cheshire Architects, Construction Design and Unitec. The completed venture is then displayed on-site for as much as 48 months and will likely be photographed by Samuel Hartnett, and featured in Structure NZ journal.
The competitors affords college students and up to date graduates a uncommon alternative to create a conceptual small-scale piece of structure that, if chosen, they’ll then construct.
The profitable 2024 Brick Bay Folly, Femme-ly Velues, acknowledges the heritage of textile craft amongst girls by referencing the levels of weaving throughout its three distinct elevations. The workforce was made up of Claire Ford, Elise Cautley and Jennifer Gao of Yellowhammer Companies, Structure HDT and Jack McKinney Architects, respectively, who joined forces to design an idea based mostly on the material crafts they’d been taught by their moms.
