The organising team met recently at the architecturally inspiring Docklands Hotel in Durban, where the conference will be hosted, to mark the occasion. Nina Sanders, Kevin Bingham, Rodney Harber and Georgie Chennells of the KZNIA welcomed Tammy Grove, marketing officer for SAFAL Steel, to the conference fold.
One of the objectives of the theme 'New Paradigms' is to raise questions around generally accepted architectural discourse: from physical aspects such as approaches, materials and tools, to intangibles such as teaching, networks and patronage. It\'s anticipated that vigorous debate will result, contributing to constructive proposals for the future that will vitalise both education and practice.
One of the legacy projects of the UIA Durban 2014 Conference is Open Architecture. Developed by the KZNIA and the South African Institute for Architecture (SAIA), this revolutionary new learning platform will offer a universally recognised alternative to mainstream post-graduate architecture education, while allowing students to remain in full-time employment.
