4TH NZBERS SYMPOSIUM
Shaping future directions for collaborative built environment research and practice in New Zealand
Friday 14 November 2014
Building 104 (OR1 & OR2), next to School of Engineering, Oteha Rohe Precinct, Albany Campus, Massey University, Gate 4, Albany Highway, Albany
The 4th New Zealand Built Environment Symposium (NZBERS) was held on Friday 14 November 2014 on the Albany Campus of Massey University, Auckland. The symposium aimed to bring together built environment researchers in the NZ universities to disseminate their research findings or works-in-progress to the industry and colleagues. This year again the symposium presented a platform for leveraging collegiality and coordinated efforts to achieving optimal built environment research outputs and knowledge dissemination. The theme of this year’s symposium was “Shaping future directions for collaborative built environment research and practice in New Zealand”. Participation is expected from seven universities: University of Auckland, AUT, Massey University, Unitec, Victoria University, University of Otago and the University of Canterbury.
The one-day symposium included keynote addresses from industry chieftains and decision makers in government departments. Built environment programme leaders in the New Zealand universities presented summaries of the current and recently completed built environment research by research students and academic staff in their units. Masters and doctoral research students also presented their completed research or works-in-progress.
