Public Lecture Series

The lecture series explores the possibility that architecture, urban design and urbanism is not only a technical project but also an imaginative and cultural project. The cultural project of shaping a ‘new’ South African urban culture asks that imaginative and urban understanding and tools are extended to new programmatic and contextual themes, challenges and possibilities. This includes speaking to architectural questions of hybridity and diverse publics and spaces, as well to larger questions of urbanisation, the roles of human settlements, social tensions and conflict, and new kinds of collectivities and communities. In this series, architecture is explored as the making of a diverse piece of a city, socially and architecturally.
