DESIGNING CREATIVELY WITH CURVES :
|
|
Activity Title: |
DESIGNING CREATIVELY WITH CURVES |
|
Description |
Designing Creatively with Curves
Course shows you how to design, document, and construct buildings with
curves. We will show you how to include curves in regular
architecture, in a refined way. We compare flat, singly-curved, and
doubly-curved surfaces: how to identify them, understand their geometry, and
detail them. Your clients will love your curved aesthetic and contractors
will know exactly what to do. Book now because
your next big client might ask for curves.
“This course challenges you to expand your palette
of artistic expression as an architect or designer to become “surface
literate” by learning how to design with sculptural forms. It was interesting
to challenge rational, left-brained thinking with emotive, form-first,
experience-driven design, and of course, to learn techniques for setting out
organic forms in three dimensions. Keith shared his insights and experience
from his buildings and design methodology in his engaging and down-to-earth
manner, sometimes sparking interesting back-and-forth within the group. I
thoroughly enjoyed my time with the KSS and am looking forward to joining
their next course to learn more.” Su de Jager |

Activity Title: |
Understanding the principles, properties and
applications of light, ventilation, colour and sound in design - by Joost
Hogewoning |
|
Description |
The aim of this CPD is to equip designers with a basic
understanding of the properties, principles and applications of light,
ventilation, colour (including some effects) and sound (including some acoustics)
in design. The CPD will give a better understanding of the principles
governing various regulations in SANS 10400, as well as giving guidelines to
healthy design. (This is NOT a course on any particular SANS document). The
CPD includes other relevant document handouts as well. |

DESIGNING WITH NATURE Beyond Buildings: Regenerative Planning for Resilient Living :
|
|
Activity
Title: |
DESIGNING
WITH NATURE
|
|
Description |
This training will be an immersive, thought-shifting day that
will leave you inspired, equipped, and ready to rethink the role of
architecture in a changing world. In this one-day online course you’ll discover: ● Why designing with nature is central to the future of
architecture – because resilience, health, and climate stability depend on
seeing beyond the building. ● How to treat nature as essential infrastructure – whether
you’re shaping a single home, a rural estate, or a large urban development. ● How to truly partner with nature – design systems that support
soil, water, and biodiversity to withstand extreme conditions and multiply
the land’s potential. ● What it takes to build a fully integrated “building ecosystem”
– nature’s proven strategies that outlast every design trend. You’ll walk away feeling clear, focused, and inspired to
rethink what architecture can (and should) be in a changing world. Hosted in association with Wild Banana Design and SAIA Eastern
Cape, this event blends science, strategy, and design to show how
regenerative planning can transform both our buildings and our landscapes. To secure your place, click here: https://www.wildbananadesign.com/CPD

SECTIONAL TITLE RULES & REGULATIONS : By ROSE GINYA :
|
|
Activity Title: |
SECTIONAL TITLE RULES & REGULATIONS : By ROSE
GINYA |
|
Description |
When a process is not tied to a reason, it becomes
hard to understand and may seem redundant. Unless we understand “WHY” we have
to do the things we have to do, we will always forget or simply ignore some
of them. In this discussion, Rose will analyse two real-life
cases to highlight the legal, financial, and practical consequences of
failing to follow due process in developments - specifically Sectional Title
developments and how sound professional advice could have helped the
developer in each case.
