• Pathway to Registration from student to Candidate
  Behind every architectural project is a professional and regulatory framework that shapes how architects work. Bessie Hlophe will provide insight into professional practice in South Africa, discussing regulation, professional responsibility, registration and compliance, and highlighting the relationship between architectural education and the realities of the profession.
   
• What’s Happening on the Ground: Building as a Young Person in Our Community
  Working within a developing country presents architects with both significant challenges and opportunities. Nqobile Lombo will share her experiences in the architectural sector, reflecting on the value of young people’s skills, perspectives and determination in shaping the built environment. The talk will consider how architecture can remain relevant, accessible and responsive to the communities it serves, while encouraging emerging architects to see their profession as an opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to South Africa.


• From Brief to Building: The Realities of Architectural Practice
  This talk will explore the journey from an initial architectural brief to a completed building. Monograph Architects will discuss the realities of architectural practice, including the relationship between design ambition, client requirements, budgets, technology and construction.
   
• Reflections on Practice
  Buildings and places often carry histories that extend far beyond their physical structures. Yasmin Mayat and Brendan Hart will reflect on their work with heritage and existing buildings, examining how architects can negotiate between preservation and contemporary intervention while responding to the memories, identities and histories embedded within a place.
