Presenter

Craig Dalgleish is a Whanganui-based architect and Fellow of Te Kāhui Whaihanga New Zealand Institute of Architects, with over 30 years of experience in architectural practice.

Together with his wife Sharee, Craig established Dalgleish Architects more than two decades ago, building an award-winning practice recognised for its thoughtful approach to residential, commercial, community and cultural projects.

His work is deeply connected to Whanganui and its people, with notable projects including He Awa Ora – Living River at the Whanganui Regional Museum, Whanganui Mūmū – Whanganui by Design, and Te Ruamātatoru – He Whata Kai.

Craig’s approach to architecture places people, cultural context and the character of place at the centre of the design process, exploring how buildings can be both meaningful and engaging.

As Convenor of Session One of the Re:Using the City - Case Study Presentations at Festival of Design Aotearoa, Craig brings his extensive architectural experience and local perspective to a conversation about the value, potential and future of our built environment.
