ADW 2026 asks: how does design shape People + Place? Together, we explore the connection between people, community, and the environments we inhabit - physical, cultural, and digital. From indigenous knowledge to contemporary practice, Aotearoa’s creative identity offers powerful ways to build an inclusive, sustainable, and human-centred future. Through a curated programme of exhibitions, talks, workshops, and immersive events, ADW invites both industry and the public to connect, reflect, and reimagine how we live, work, and belong. Hosted at the ADW Design Depot at Shed 10, and across Tāmaki Makaurau and beyond.
