Asylum design research journal is produced by Unitec School of Architecture and published annually by ePress, Unitec’s publishing platform. The 2023 edition marks over twenty years of the publication, aptly and colloquially named after the institution that had previously occupied the building where the school was originally housed. A highlight of the academic year, showcasing student work and scholarly articles, the journal also presents some of the school’s many events and community initiatives. Offering broad opportunities for past and present students, Asylum continues to be published as both a printed and online open-access resource. The Asylum editorial team is highly committed to ensuring the continued development of a scholarly publishing model and to having an open-access research repository for the journal. Our intention is to continue to grow Asylum beyond Unitec to reach a broader audience within Aotearoa New Zealand, while also continuing to engage with an international audience.


This section presents student work from Unitec’s Diploma in Interior Design Residential, Diploma in Interior Design Commercial, Diploma in Landscape Design, Bachelor of Landscape Architecture and Master of Landscape Architecture programmes.
