TalentNZ: Join the TalentNZ Network

Damien is an architect who works in the Dunedin studio of Architecture Van Brandenburg. Among the studio’s current projects is designing the headquarters for a leading Chinese fashion label in Shenzhen. Damien provides a perspective on talent from someone who works globally while living in New Zealand.

The TalentNZ initiative builds on the thinking of Sir Paul Callaghan who envisioned New Zealand as ‘a place where talent wants to live’. Through our Sir Paul Callaghan Science Meets Humanities Scholarship two young scholarship recipients asked 30 Kiwis seven questions, resulting in 210 ideas. The project aims to further the concept of moving New Zealand towards a talent-based economy.
