South African Institute of Architects Panel Discussion – 24 April 2026

Mandela Bay Development Agency – Gqeberha

My view is that : “It is important that we do have strong feelings about things. Even if we know those feelings change from time to time, but for all of us to sit back and be polite and not have a voice because we are not woman enough, we’re not trans enough, we’re not black enough, we’re not disabled enough, (or whatever the fashion is at the time) to sensor ourselves, to let other voices come, I think that’s a mistake. All of us architects have a voice. We are interested in the shape and form of things. And we mustn’t be afraid to think that, that voice is important.”
