Course information (Content/Overview)

Our participants asked and we listened!

You’ve done the previous module and have the essentials. This follow-up course is the bridge to making it practical and real.

Making a curved difference easy for you.

The 4 sessions include case studies; the how-to step-by-step design of typical curved and twisted surfaces. We cover a range of essential curved surfaces needed to make remarkable buildings.

We also look at ‘where to curve, what (or not) to curve and why you are doing what you are doing! How to make an impact, without blowing the budget or the contractor’s synaptic circuitry, when it comes to curved architecture. If you haven't gone around the bend yet now is your chance.

Designing Creatively with Daylight

 

Presenters

Keith Struthers (PrArch20575)

Course information (Content/Overview)

Designing Creatively with Daylight is an interactive live online course, via Zoom, that gives you a practical and aesthetic foundation to the key Principles and Rules of Thumb for designing with natural light. All successful designs have mastered the play of natural lighting across surfaces and through volumes.
You'll learn how to analyse the different kinds of daylight to significantly improve the living experience by enhancing the subtle interplay of light and shadows. This includes, how to configure the overall massing of the building, through to the nature and positioning of the fenestration...without having to number crunch. We also deal with the basic errors most designers consistently make. The course covers material not taught at university or technikon.

CPD course: Affordable Housing and Urban Development – Creative Problem Solving For Housing Affordability. : Riverhorse Valley and Online ( Hybrid Event )

 

Title of CPD course   

Affordable Housing and Urban Development – Creative Problem Solving For Housing Affordability.

Presenter

Rose Ginya and Co-host (Videsh Boodu)

Course information (Content/Overview)

SUMMARY

When it comes to provision of affordable housing, we all have a role to play. Government can and should create an environment that enables professionals, businesses and other stakeholders to contribute to the provision of affordable housing through legislation, law enforcement, knowledge sharing and effective governance. However, the burden to establish and promote liveable neighbourhoods’ rests with each and every one of us especially within the built environment. It is therefore important that we all seek the role we can play in achieving affordable housing and collaborate.

Municipal and government officials need to be motivated and empowered to improve service delivery in as far as approval of urban development applications are concerned. It has been argued that South Africa does not have a legislation problem, it has an implementation problem. I believe we have an implementation problem because we have a mindset problem. There is a shared sense of helplessness and complacency that hinders creativity and implementation.

KEY TAKE AWAYS

1.     Test and measure the effectiveness of change in policy, technology, governance in accelerating housing affordability.

2.     Combat displacement of residents due to crime and gentrification through Airbnb/tourism.

3.     Use tools such as GIS, Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry to monitor trends when it comes to illegal low-cost developments (backrooms) and pre-plan for them in terms of both policy and infrastructure.

4.     Encourage private low-cost developments through public awareness campaigns, expeditious planning approvals and mentorship.

5.     Opportunities for Built Environment Professionals.

6.     Mindset shift in officials and stakeholders involved in urban development
