The SAIA KZN Practice Breakfast with Iqbal Naroth

Description

Stories on music, wheelchair & the choice to die at home

As architects, we have the power to shape the spaces where people live, work, and interact. Let's workshop the art of designing homes and buildings that are not just functional, but also nurturing and inclusive. From the smallest details to the grandest structures, our designs have the ability to impact people's lives in profound ways and how we can draw inspiration from life's experiences and use our skills to create spaces that bring people together and make life more beautiful.

Activity Title:

DESIGNING CREATIVELY WITH DAYLIGHT

Description

This 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!  Expect the unexpected! 

“This course has been massively informative. The ability to stretch our thoughts into seeing the way we do what I always thought to be ordinary things in a unique way, has been very inspiring. Fresh insight into light (and dark).” Jerome Starkey
