Please join us for the SAIA KZN Practice Breakfast.

The Practice of Repair is not merely technical fixing of space, but a political and ethical gesture toward healing, recognition, and collective care.

‘Repair’ can be a tool, to restore dignity, agency, and memory to create reparative continuity in contested urbanscapes.

We are grateful to be part of the Methods Exhibition by the dynamic teaching staff at the School of Architecture and Planning.

The exhibition - “ Research Praxis in Making, Doing and Teaching” brings together a body of work by practitioners and educators whose practices move fluidly across design, art, pedagogy, and built form. It foregrounds research not as something that follows making, but as something embedded within it.

Our exhibit positions Collaboration as design methodology that establishes architecture as an open- ended process that facilitates engagement, supports multiple forms of occupation, and acts as a catalyst for ongoing transformation.

So inspiring to walk through Newtown and Bekezela with Yale Professor Keller Easterling and Dr Jhono Bennett and connect their work on with reality of the inner city.

Their research on “Repairative Architectures” reframes urban maintenance as a form of housing justice, positioning repair and institutional coordination as proactive tools to prevent displacement rather than reactive responses to crisis.

Repairative Architectures research is critical asset to a city like Joburg crisis with its services and infrastructure in decline,
The project looks to develop and co- produce from the ground up practical pathways, for building upgrades emergency support and strategies grounded in local knowledge and priorities of residents.

Lives, Voices, Struggle Photo Exhibition at the Market Photo workshop

“In Joburg we are all seekers, migrants..
There is something about the city that’s is alive …
In Joburg everyone is going somewhere rushing.. no time to slow down .”
-Andrew Tshabangu, renowned photographer.

The exhibition celebrates and honours photographers whose work reminds us of the ongoing responsibility to uphold and protect the rights of a people. The exhibition is a call for human rights , not just be spoken about during moments of crisis, protest, or violation but as they are lived most fully in ordinary, everyday life.

It is these daily practices that dignity , equality , resilience , and belonging are continually negotiated. Lives , voices and struggles explores human rights not only as legal guarantees, but as lived experiences shaped by imagination, memory culture and struggle.”

Transient_City.

“Transient City sits with the tension between visibility and erasure.
The photographs gather fragments of that condition- not to explain the city, but to remain but to remain with its contradictions,
to acknowledge that the everyday here is charged, layered, and insistently alive.”

_ Ngidi Thandolwenfundo.

Incredibly inspiring collaboration with the talented photographer Ngidi Thandolwendo and the Market Photo Workshop.
Seeing the City of Joburg through new eyes with all its contradictions and vibrant life made the task of a visual story of few images most difficult to choose.

More to come!

Why does the Biennale matter? Because Africa deserves space — to design, dream, build, imagine. Collectively.
Boldly.
For itself.

We’re so excited that our Director, Althea Peacock joins 2026 SCAPE 100!

One hundred voices shaping the present tense of architecture and design—not simply the visible or obvious, but those rumbling at the periphery: the influential, the progressive.

Grateful to be one of the Architects, designers, studios, and thinkers whose work is redefining how we build, live, and imagine—some quietly, some boldly, but all with intent.

Congrats to amazing creatives on this distinguished, inspiring list.

100 Voices. 100 Icons
