The challenge
BNA is the leading industry organisation for architecture firms in the Netherlands with a diverse audience: members (architecture firms), clients, students, and the general public. The organisation needed a platform serving all these audiences with member benefits, a knowledge library with filterable research and articles, an annual Building of the Year election with submissions and jury information, and an educational platform (BNA Academy). Everything had to be managed from a single coherent system.
Our solution
We built a comprehensive platform with multiple sections: a member section with market figures, networking opportunities, and regional circles; a news section with the Building of the Year platform including submissions and jury profiles; a knowledge library with search and filter capabilities by interest area and category; an education section with BNA Academy and PEP Programme; and a 'My BNA' member portal. The Building of the Year platform is an annually recurring event with its own landing page, submission process, and voting functionality.
