Bell-Roberts Publishing is pleased to announce the publication of
10+ years 100 projects - architecture in a democratic South Africa
and a companion to 10+ years 100 buildings - architecture in a
democratic South Africa (2009) which in 2010 received an Award of
Excellence from the South African Institute of Architecture.
(http://bell-roberts.com?book=128). 10+ years 100 projects entails
the documenting of the most meritorious design dissertations from
the eight South African universities offering architectural tuition
at a post-graduate level, including the submissions of the national
winners of the Corobrik Student of the Year Award from 2002 to
2017. None of the work has previously been assembled and the inf
ormation is gradually being lost. The content is structured
according to the different Schools of Architecture and includes the
following universities: TUT, UP, UJ, WITS, UFS, UCT, NMU and UKZN.
Each of the 12+ submissions per university is accompanied by an
introduction by an academic from each of these tertiary
institutions, contextualising the work of that particular chapter.
The 4-page submissions, in turn, consist of a synopsis of the
socio-design intentions of each the 100 projects, an academic
assessment of each of the projects by the editor, and are
accompanied by a series of exploratory design and technical
drawings. The result is a 480-page omnibus, and an impressive
record of the current architectural discourse within our particular
socio-economic and political circumstances. This book is intended
to serve as a reference for South African students of architecture,
and also for professionals. In its experimental and commercially
unfettered form, the collection of projects is undoubtedly the most
authentic barometer to gauge how radically our design priorities
have shifted in recent years and where our current architectural
output is situated. It moreover provides an extraordinary range of
highly relevant and exceptionally innovative architectural
interpretations, which would also find appeal to everyone
associated with the building industry.
