We will also be introducing an exciting upcoming new series set to take place in the 2nd half of the year.

Going back to my childhood memories that set in place a trajectory for my architectural career, the talk will be about the concept of African Space not as a reaction to colonial architecture: African Space I absorbed as a village boy from elders and the community—the values that were transferred by deeds and words. It is an individual story told with the hope of adding ‘colour’, richness, and a layer of meaning to the collective story of the architecture community in South Africa: one should not exist to make others not to exist.
