Honouring Heritage. Remembering Legacy. Celebrating Impact-Herbert Prins

Description

CALL FOR ENTRIES

Honouring Heritage. Remembering Legacy. Celebrating Impact.

Once a beloved Art Deco landmark, the Colosseum Theatre in Johannesburg was demolished in 1985 despite strong public resistance, becoming a powerful symbol of the city’s lost heritage. In response, passionate activists like Herbert Prins dedicated their lives to protecting what remains, raising awareness about the importance of preserving our cultural identity.

Established through these efforts, the Herbert Prins Colosseum Awards recognise and celebrate outstanding initiatives in heritage conservation. The award’s floating trophy, created by renowned artist Cecil Skotnes, stands as a lasting tribute to this mission.

Herbert Prins (1927–2020), a respected heritage architect and academic for over 70 years, is remembered for his unwavering commitment to conservation. These awards honour not only excellence in the field, but also his remarkable legacy.

Celebrate Heritage. Honour Excellence. Inspire the Future.

The Herbert Prins Colosseum Awards invite entries that recognise exceptional contributions to heritage conservation across the greater Highveld region, including PIA, SAIA Mpumalanga, and SAIA Limpopo & Northwest.

We are looking for:

SANS 10400 XA 2Nnd Edition (2021) Fenestration Workshop

Description

This fully updated course will be presented by Peter Wyness, who has presented SANS 10400-XA courses since 2011. The event will include Excel templates for fenestration calculations, plus all the other parts of the Standard, which will be for office use as well as for use during the presentation.

This event is open to all but is primarily intended for delegates who have not previously attended a course by Mr Wyness, or who have been unsuccessful in completing the exercises required.

Completing the course will reward the delegate with a Certificate of Competency.

THE NEW STANDARDS NOW APPLY

REGULATIONS HAVE CHANGED

GIfA would like to invite you to attend a workshop on

SANS 10400 – XA 2ND Edition (2021)

12 June 2026 Presented by Peter Wyness

 SANS 10400-XA (2021) became law in November 2021.

This is a revision that, at first sight, seems to offer a very much easier

route to compliance than the 2011 edition. But on closer examination, it

is a lot more complicated than it looks!

The course will give a full explanation of the various elements of the

Standard and will provide the SABS tables required to complete the

exercises. The presentation will include comprehensive Excel templates which will

lead the architectural professionals through the complicated fenestration

specification procedure.

This is a full-day educational course on this Standard, presented as a

one-day 1.0 CPD in Category 1, an accredited event. It will therefore not be necessary for the delegate to buy SANS 10400-XA before attending the course, but it is beneficial to have it handy.

Registered professionals can download the regulations via the SACAP website via your profile

Important:

 Course material will be forwarded to delegates 2-3 days before the event.

Make sure that you have

everything listed in place and ready for you to use on the day!

Links will be forwarded to delegates 1-2 DAYS before the event.

A deemed to be competent certificate will be issued to all who have completed the course and passed the test.

Unlike face-to-face lectures, this online event requires a fair amount of

preparation.

Without the preparation, you will not be able to complete the course, so

please read the course material carefully, and make sure that you have

everything listed in place and ready for you to use on the day! Course

material will be forwarded to delegates 2-3 days before the event.

If you are

not able to have available a second computer, a split-screen ability, or

second monitor, one that can do Excel, or

are not happy doing Excel calculations. Please note that there is

course material enabling you to use your calculator.
