F. Gordon Wilson Fellowship for Affordable Housing
Do you have a compelling research idea for Aotearoa New Zealand’s housing challenges?
Entries for the F. Gordon Wilson Fellowship for Affordable Housing open 28 February.
The research fellowship will be open to architects and design professionals from Aotearoa New Zealand who want to explore how architecture can help address one of today’s most pressing needs: housing.
Now in its third year, the fellowship supports a self-directed design and research project that addresses an issue around affordable housing. Culture, climate change, housing density, models of delivery and all sorts of approaches to unmet housing needs are relevant to the fellowship.
The F. Gordon Wilson Fellowship is a collaboration between Te Kāhui Whaihanga New Zealand Institute of Architects and family members of former Government Architect F. Gordon Wilson. The 2025 recipient will be announced in September and will receive $20,000 to aid their research.
Keep an eye on the Institute's website and social media platforms for more information on how to enter.
Entries open Friday 28 February.
Note: In 2025, the fellowship was renamed the F. Gordon Wilson Fellowship for Affordable Housing. It is intended to broaden the scope, moving from only Public Housing to all projects that address the unmet housing needs in Aotearoa New Zealand.
