Foreword
Foreword On behalf of the Scientific Committee, I welcome you to UIA 2014 Durban! Before I proceed to offer the programme details, it is important to note that this programme has been developed by many people – some of them working diligently behind the scenes. As General Reporter, it is my hope that I have succeeded in reflecting the thinking and intentions of the larger Scientific Committee – a group of people that have inspired and offered a sense of direction for the event. I have been collaborating closely with, and constantly advised by, the core members of the committee: Hilton Judin, Mokena Makeka and Mphethi Morojele. It is also important to reinforce the intentions of ARCHITECTURE OTHERWHERE. The Congress aims to discover the “in-between”, the interface, this space where OTHER methods/systems of practice exist. It intends to explore OTHER ways of inhabiting the CITY and OTHER ways of doing. It aims to dissolve distinctions between the architectural profession and other built environment professions; between the building and the city; between South Africa and Africa; between design and making; between the profession and communities; between the profession and government. I believe that the architectural profession has a critical role to play in the achievement of human settlements that are more equitable, more beautiful and more functional – human settlements that increase opportunities, offering people a better chance at improving their lives and livelihoods. UIA 2014 DURBAN suggests the creation of environments that are beautiful and engaging; environments that do not discriminate and that are accessible. We present you with a rich and diverse programme aiming to re-assess professional values, develop methods and techniques for professional engagement and interrogate the ethics associated with architectural and design practice. UIA 2014 Durban may therefore become a catalyst for transformation in our methods of practice as well as spatially – in our cities. UIA 2014 DURBAN asks WHAT IF? What if new solutions, new approaches, sustainable practice could be learnt from the African continent? What if we rethink the built environment for the benefit of all? What if we are able to achieve alternative forms of engagement and decision-making? What if we are able to achieve beauty and equal opportunity in the built environment? The UIA 2014 Congress title went through a process of metamorphosis, before Hilton Judin suggested the title: ARCHITECTURE OTHERWHERE. This Congress theme was met with enthusiasm, interpreted, re-interpreted, adopted and adapted; it has triggered people’s imagination and has translated into OTHERthinking and OTHERpractice. It has generated responses from numerous people and has influenced our vocabulary and how we look at OTHERplaces and OTHERcommunities. OHERWHERE became an invitation, not only to invent new words, but also encouraged us to invent a new way to engage in meaningful professional conversations. We welcome you to this debate and to an OTHER future. Amira Osman UIA 2014 Durban General Reporter

Welcome! This is an incredibly exciting time for the South African architectural profession and this is, in general, a special time for South Africa in terms of cities, space and design. This 20th year of democracy is also the year of the Cape Town World Design Capital, a celebration of 20 years of Design Indaba and numerous other small and large events looking into spatial transformation in South Africa. Great synergies are being discovered between the various programmes – and great conversations are being initiated between South Africa`s major cities – and now with the world. We welcome you...
the President of International Union of Architects (UIA) On behalf of the Scientific Committee, I welcome you to UIA 2014 Durban! To the delegates, partners, participants in the various programmes of this congress, Welcome to Durban! Welcome to the first UIA congress in sub-Saharan Africa, the second in history to take place in southern hemisphere, the third on the African continent. We are all excited about what we will see, hear and feel here. In Turin in 2008, they told us: “you all think you know Africa because you heard its music, and seen its fashion, but as architects you have to experience its architecture.” The agenda of this congress beautifully conveys the principle of Architecture Otherwhere. We will attend various conferences, keynote speeches, work programmes and Commissions; we will read member section reports, and see exhibitions, but not only that – thanks to the array of events, city activities and parallel projects, the congress will spread beyond the congress center. This is Africa, this is Otherhow! All participants from Otherwhere, from the 90 countries all over the world so far registered, will contribute to Architecture Otherwhere. Experiencing, comparing, discussing, explaining and understanding the tremendous diversity of our planet that will enrich all of our individual cultures and give all of us the skills we so badly need to escape global banality. Humanity has its origins in Africa. Modern art and architecture have been inspired by Africa. This Congress is the key to building the next modernity that the planet urgently needs to survive climate change. Jo Noero, the famous South African architect once stated that “the western world has invented all the crises humanity faces today; the solutions will come from Africa.” What an extraordinary hope! I invite all attendees to this congress to recognize the fantastic work the organizers undertook over the course of these six long years, and all the uncertainties, doubts and fears that they had to overcome in order to build this event, which deserves that we all transform it into the biggest success in the UIA’s history. And I invite the organizers of all future congresses to come and draw their inspiration from all that is happening here. Albert Dubler President of the UIA

the President OF THE South African Institute of Architects (SAIA) The hosting of the 25th International Union of Architects (UIA) World Congress Durban 2014 in South Africa is a significant and a historic milestone for our country and for the continent of Africa. In April this year, our country celebrated twenty years of our hard earned democracy, albeit the sad loss in December 2013, of our icon and the son of the soil, President Nelson Mandela, to whom we pay homage. To us, the people of Africa, this event , marks yet another humbling endorsement by the nations of the world, that of finally coming into grips with the fact that time for Africa to be counted amongst great nations of the world has come, a long overdue gesture, which have accepted with both hands and with great humility. The descending of the world body to the continent of Africa and specifically to the port of Durban, will certainly afford our architectural fraternity opportunities to engage in robust and thoughtprovoking dialogues with other built environment professionals and communities from elsewhere, as different speakers will be unpacking these under the sub themes of Resilience; Ecology and Values. I have no doubt in my mind that these dialogues and debates will provide us with templates upon which we can gauge equitability and functionality of our African cities as we embark upon a process of re-imagining our future humane settlements. It is my considered view that this congress will help our built environment professionals; practitioners and academics to bounce off their spatial, and metaphorical ideas against those of the world’s tried and tested, in an effort to re-imagine the cities Africa has inherited. Sadly, imperialist and apartheid cities were imagined and created by architects hence inversely these aforementioned cities and settlements can only be successfully “undone” through architectural intervention. It is on this score that the participation of the international professionals and academics is hereby sought and is highly appreciated. The South African Institute of Architects has made a commitment to the people of this country, that out of this this Congress will flow a lasting legacy that will give direct credence to the transformation of our profession and to the strategic development goals of our country. It is my earnest belief that, with your intellectual engagements, we will not fail to deliver on this undertaking. May all the Executive Members of the UIA, Congress delegates, students, visitors and friends, be enriched by the congress deliberations and enjoy their stay in Durban, South Africa. Sindile Ngonyama President of the South African Institute of Architects (SAIA)

the UIA 2014 Durban President OF THE National Organising Committee Any world conference that is held in South Africa in 2014 is special. We are celebrating 20 years of our democracy and with that comes the usual reflection of how we have done in these 20 years. The spatial legacy left by apartheid planning has been one of the most difficult challenges to overcome and this has led our past Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan to say that ‘…the biggest challenge for the National Development Plan are how do we integrate our cities….’ A view amongst many is that the architectural profession in this country has also not risen to the occasion in addressing the challenges faced by a developing country such as ours given the context of activities in the post-Apartheid era. Added to these national complexities are the many challenges faced by the world. Climate change, population growth, the world financial crises, HIV, escalation in wars and a general decline in morals and values. It is a time for critical reflection and action. Architects together with others (activists, thinkers, fellow built environment professionals) need to make their contribution. Durban 2014 provides a catalyst for taking this discussion forward. The theme of ‘Architecture Otherwhere’ is deliberate in that it provides a clean canvass for participants at the Congress to review old and current ways of practice and academia and, in doing so, propose and develop new and/or creative ways in which we can advance the profession. The conversation has started and will continue well after the Congress. We have an opportunity to give it great momentum through the vehicle of this Congress. We trust that the compilation of papers, special lectures, workshops and exhibitions will encourage you to make a contribution – and in so doing, develop the voice and role of architecture to become more effective in addressing the challenges facing this country and the rest of the world; an effectiveness that can touch the individual in the most underdeveloped country as well those decision-makers whose actions impact on the lives of millions of people. Here’s to an OTHERWHERE congress with the most successful outcomes! Hassan Asmal President of the UIA 2014 Durban Organising Committee

the UIA 2014 City Liaison and President OF THE Local Organising Committee Enveloping the City! Welcome to Durban. Welcome to a city celebrating the occasion of the 25th International Union of Architects World Congress 2014, in the year South Africa celebrates 20 years of democracy. Durban has been in the international limelight since 2010 firstly as a principle host city for the 2010 World Cup, then as the venue for the Conference of the Parties (COP) 17 event in 2011 and now as the host for the 25th International Union of Architects World Congress 2014. Each of these events brings an opportunity to take stock of a city which was cited on this year’s CNN list of Ten of the World’s Most Underrated Cities. Each of these events is also an opportunity to celebrate this ‘below the line’ city. At the onset of winning the bid in Turino in 2008, the Local Organising Committee recognized the incredible opportunity that hosting the event held for the City of Durban. It recognized that components of the event and the celebration of the event needed to happen in the streets of the City and that as much as the event was for delegates of UIA 2014 Durban, the event is also for the citizens of Durban. The Local Organising Committee comprised of local architects and interested people identified four areas of engagement in creating a legacy after the event. The first was to document the architecture of the City through the creation of a brochure series of the styles of architecture in Durban developed by the City Architecture Department. A special edition of the tri-annual Kwa Zulu Natal Institute of Architecture Journal entitled ‘Everywhere Otherwhere to Somewhere’ focusing on the City was also developed together with a series of films which highlight engagements with the spatial, social and economic quality of the City of Durban. The second legacy is through the South African Institute of Architects ‘Open Architecture Programme’, a web-facilitated university-accredited course to study architecture allowing access to the professions for a broader range of the profession and encouraging the transformation of the profession. The third legacy was to activate “urban acupuncture” 1projects. Firstly this was a direct means to action the Congress sub-themes of Resilience Ecology and Values in the fabric of the City, to invite direct public participation with the event and lastly to leave a spatial legacy after the event. The three projects identified are the pedestrianisation of Dr Pixely ka Seme Street, the River Town Precinct and Pocket Park Projects. The fourth was to stimulate the UIA 2014 Parallel Project as a means to activating public space in the City and engaging projects at the interface of art /architecture / anthropology to comment on the theme of ‘otherwhere’. The UIA 2014 Durban Congress has brought sharp focus to the architecture of the City and to public awareness to the profession. It has invited enquiry as posed by the theme of ‘otherwhere’ and the responses abound in the projects ‘exhibited’ in the city. Enjoy Durban! Nina Saunders Local Government Liaison

the UIA 2014 Durban Commissary General In our twentieth year of Democracy, the UIA 2014 World Congress is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for South African architects to showcase their talents and achievements, and to host their peers from around the world in a critical knowledge-sharing forum in the dynamic, cosmopolitan city of Durban. We, the architectural profession, recognise that architecture is just one part of the interlinked systems and networks that make up our cities. We have therefore invited our colleagues from related design and built environment professions, pioneers in urban planning and thinking, activists, city makers, academics and researchers, students, Government officials, decision makers and thought leaders, citizens and communities – to share in this seminal conversation. We will be delving into the most recent academic thinking; investigating the opportunities inherent in the notion of ‘sustainable city development’; and challenging existing mindsets and modes of operation. Our intention is to collectively explore the issues facing our rapidly urbanising cities, propose alternative solutions grounded in the precepts of Resilience, Ecology and Values, and find a way forward that will allow us to pass on a built legacy for our children of which we can be proud. In addition to the official Congress programme, a vibrant cultural ‘Festival’ of activities will engage the citizens of Durban, drawing them into the discussion through exhibitions, film screenings, tours and networking activities; letting young people know about the vocational opportunities available in architecture; and, hopefully, inspiring people to become proactive in shaping their spaces, their cities, and their futures. Welcome to UIA 2014 Durban, the largest and most significant gathering on architecture ever to take place in sub-Saharan Africa. We look forward to your participation!

the President OF THE South African Council for Architectural Profession (SACAP) Dear delegates, welcome to the UIA Congress, Architecture Otherwhere, appropriately housed in our cultural playground, Durban. SACAP is the statutory regulatory body governing the architectural profession in South Africa. Further to our mandate as a regulator, we aspire to value-added service to the benefit of the profession and the public at large. The ethos of SACAP is reflected in its newly developed vision statement “People-centred architecture for South Africa”. In this regard, the UIA provides the ideal platform for engagement with diverse communities in critically interrogating the value of architecture in society, especially in the complex multi-layered and multicultural context of the developing world. Resilience, Ecology and Values are themes that challenge the core of our purpose and worth as the thinkers, makers and, most importantly, the ordinary consumers of architecture. We look forward to many debates, ideas, positive conflicts and contradictions, as “otherwhere” may define its meaning in a hybrid space where difference may come together to define new meanings and relevant solutions to the socio-economic, environmental and cultural challenges facing the developed and the developing worlds. May you be engaged, enlightened and inspired over the next few days and may this congress foster continued dialogue across the globe towards developing responsive and meaningful architecture through ethical social practice. Yashaen Luckan President of the South African Council for the Architectural Profession
the President OF THE African Union of Architects (AUA) The Africa Union of Architects and her forty member sections rejoice the World is coming to Africa. Welcome to all! The world is multipolar today and Africa as the other continents (Asia, Latin America) having undergone maturation propose new collaboration models to provide our communities with better lives and Cities. We also invite you all to the AUA 11th Congress, Kampala 2015, to experience how we see the future evolving and how Africa will continuously unlock her potentials, promote innovations, and move forward. We wish the International Union of Architects (UIA) a great Congress and hope you take back home a different opinion of our beloved Continent.

the UIA 2014 Durban International Student Competition Registrar This year the UIA 2014 Durban International Student Competition had an overwhelming global response with 478 registrations, from 29 countries. What initially commenced at a snails pace, eventually, transgressed to a tsunami of global registrations, representative of the literal ‘four corners’ of the globe. As theme the ‘Otherwhere’ notion posed a tremendous challenge to all entrants. First, the mere theoretical hybridization and intricacy associated to the notion of ‘Otherwhere’ challenged thinking, design criticality and innovation of both local and international students. Secondly, though presented with a highly geopolitical and locally driven design question and site, the thematic destabilized conventionality within spatial and design inquiry, eradicating contextual familiarity to a problem, which is, in Manuel Castells words, a ‘Non-Global-Global’ problématique. Thirdly the brief in essence presented a call for ideas and their possible materialization more than a call for a particular archetypical and standard driven solution of how architecture is supposed to function, erasing all forms of conventional typologies and spatial topographies. Conclusively, as part of the ‘Otherwhere’ concept, the brief demanded ‘scalar’ thinking through its simultaneity within small, medium and large gradations as a means to become proactive within all human centred and city levels seen as part of the projective practices of architectural design and intentional strategy formulation. For the jury [Rahul Mehrotra, Joe Oase-Addo, Tasmi Quazi, Marianela Jiménez Calderón, Luyanda Mphahlwa, Monica Albonico and Iain Low] the task was equally as challenging. The grueling process of screening, critiquing and scrutinizing each page to examine all levels and scales, various details and ‘unpack’ conceptual ideas caused for hours of debate. Although the processes exposed contradictory and opposing moments of adjudication, it can be stated that the jury unanimously concurred with the selection of the 15 finalists. As registrar I would like to congratulate the 15 finalists and their respective advisors for their dedication and the commitment shown to the ‘Architecture Otherwhere’ UIA 2014 International Student competition. I further would like to extend this congratulatory note to the 9 Merit Projects of the competition. I trust that the notion of ‘Otherwhere’ was not only instrumental in challenging ‘other’ design with ‘other’ cultural beliefs but that the notion of ‘Otherwhere’ further facilitated an intercultural link between ‘otherness’ within ideas, diversity and our global citizenship.

UIA 2014 BACKGROUND
UIA 2014 Durban: the background “looking elsewhere for OTHER ways of creating a better future” Luciano Lazzari, UIA 2014 Durban Scientific Committee Member The 25th International Union of Architects World Congress of Architects, UIA 2014 Durban, will be held at the International Convention Centre in Durban from 3-7 August 2014. This is the first time that this Congress is being held in Southern Africa. The International Union of Architects (UIA) organises a World Congress every three years, and there have been 24 previous UIA Congresses. The UIA is a non-governmental organisation accredited by the United Nations, and it represents professional associations of architects in 124 countries, and approximately 1,3 million architects worldwide. The UIA secretariat, located in Paris, is responsible for the Union’s management and general administration. The selection of the Congress host city is made six years in advance. At the UIA 2008 Torino Congress, the South African Institute of Architects (SAIA) won the bid to host this triennial World Congress with the support of the National Department of Public Works, barely nine years after SAIA’s post-Democracy readmission to the UIA. The Congress theme is ARCHITECTURE OTHERWHERE and the intention is to acknowledge the built environment as a major force that can be harnessed towards a better life for all. In support of this goal, Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu has endorsed UIA2014 and generously agreed to become the patron of the Congress. UIA 2014 Durban is a unique and highly relevant opportunity for South Africa to showcase the development of its built environment in the twenty years since democracy. The event has been conceptualised as a truly inclusive event bringing together different role players to explore how architects play a pivotal role in addressing social and environmental developments through the Congress sub-themes of Resilience, Ecology and Values. The hosting of the congress in South Africa is meaningful at a time in the country’s development when it is realised that the spatial realities of the country and its cities need to be closely interrogated in light of post-Apartheid values. The congress will also have significant relevance globally at a time when “business as usual” is being questioned in the construction industry and in the planning and management of cities. ARCHITECTURE OTHERWHERE will celebrate diversity by exploring other communities, other regions, other disciplines, and other ways of thinking about the practice and teaching of architecture.

DURBAN AS HOSTING CITY
Durban as host city “Impossible-Durban alongside Durban-in-your-face, Durban-turned-round with fragile-Durban, Durban arrested as much as Durban non-stop. Durban veering between catastrophe and opulence, examining architectural creations and components of myriad scales and intensities. What is the architecture going to be over there?� Hilton Judin, UIA 2014 Durban Scientific Committee Member Against the backdrop of a diverse and multi-layered city, UIA2014 Durban has invited practitioners, academics, and designers, students, thought leaders, activists, artists and communities from all disciplines involved with city making to contribute to a unique debate on architecture, human settlements and the evolution of cities. Durban, with all of its complex and manifold characteristics, has guided the development of the themes. The city has been the inspiration, and offered the conceptual grounding, and during the course of the Congress the city will become the living laboratory and testing ground for reflections on OTHERWHERE. This will happen, not only through the activities within the Congress Centre, but all around Durban in parallel and city activation projects. The dynamics of Durban, as city, as a well-connected city-region with both significant infrastructure nodes as well as agents that operate within and through the city, has created a highly specific urban context. Durban as a urbanized landscape, is accepting of alternatives and OTHER urban modes. OTHERWHERE reinforces the idea that different lifestyles, beliefs, communities, different ways of doing and different ways of navigating, engaging with and inhabiting the city, all contribute to the unique identity of Durban.

THEMES / SUB-THEMES
UIA 2014 DURBAN Congress Theme and Sub Themes Other Thinking | Other Regions | Other Practice | Other Disciplines | Other Communities The theme, ARCHITECTURE OTHERWHERE, is to be explored within a number of subthemes. Resilience This sub-theme is explored through several focus areas: EMERGENCE, POVERTY ALLEVIATION, SPATIAL and GEO-POLITICAL ECONOMIES. Resilience is defined as life strategies developed by communities as well as critical interventions that contribute to poverty alleviation. Concepts of resilience also emphasise the important role of government and government investment towards the re-configuring of the spatial economy to the benefit of all. While some of these subjects will delve into South African problems and solutions, their significance finds voice within all forms of architecture and development practice globally.This sub-theme allows for inter-disciplinary debates on the roles of all space and place makers in spatial transformation, with an understanding that innovation exists at the interface of different disciplines. Ecology ECOLOGY encompasses a number of focus areas, which include: TIME, EVOLUTION, SYSTEMS, PROCESSES and ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS. This sub-theme acknowledges the role of the architect in a bigger, interlinked, and systemic network – thus encouraging a long-term design perspective. The consideration of the 4th – temporal – dimension of TIME as part and parcel of the design and decision-making process is crucial to the future practice of architecture. Evolution is intrinsically linked to the concept of time as it considers processes of architectural production which acknowledge people and place – and aims to intervene in the built environment by understanding the built environment as an ecosystem requiring sensitivity to help maintain existing systems in relative states of balance. This sub-theme will allow for a focus on SUSTAINABILITY, ENERGYEFFICIENT DESIGN and GREEN BUILDING. It also allows for a focus area on sustainable architecture under conditions of change and concepts of Open Building. Values VALUES is the third and final sub-theme. Here, focus areas include OTHER notions of ARCHITECTURAL PRACTICE and EDUCATION. UIA 2014 will explore African practices, related to global practices, as a way to address highly specific developmental problems, question traditional in relation to novel values, establish new relationships to a living planet, and, most importantly, establish a sense of respect through diversity and humility. The debates will re-assess professional values, develop methods and techniques for professional engagement, and interrogate the ethics associated with architectural and design practice.

THE SIX COMPONENTS OF THE UIA 2014 DURBAN CONGRESS UIA 2014 Durban Academic Paper Programme and Process Amira Osman UIA 2014 Durban General Reporter “UIA 2014 Durban is an unprecedented opportunity to debate city transformation as well as the transformation of the architectural profession in terms of how we teach and practice.” The Academic Paper process of the Congress is fully described in the UIA 2014 Book of Abstracts. The Congress Academic Papers sessions are also contained in the Abstract book. They have been organised around the themes of the Congress as well as the research focus areas of the Programme Partners. The intention of the UIA 2014 Programme Partners has been to expand the scope of the UIA 2014 Congress and use the event as a platform for furthering conversations around the Congress themes and pertinent built environment issues. These partnerships have been initiated with a particular focus on enhancing and supporting the academic aspects of the Congress, including the scientific programme and proceedings. These partnerships have been planned to fit seamlessly into the main UIA 2014 scientific programme and the synergy between the event and the Programme Partners has been crucial to the development of the Congress Programme and Content.
UIA 2014 Durban Student Programme Sinethemba Buthelezi “UIA2014 has brought with it an opportunity for critical engagement between students and professionals of the built environment that is necessary and overdue for the city of Durban.” The student programme has been conceptualised and put together by a dedicated team of students from the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) and the Durban University of Technology (DUT) and aims to showcase students from around the world in all of their impulsive, revolutionary and potentially mud-slinging glory. The UIA Student Programme comprises 6 scientific events which will run parallel to those of the professional programme during the two hours before and after lunch for the 3 days of the congress. Taking in heavy-weight voices within the architecture, design and film industries in South Africa; the student programme will provide a platform for students to unpack the concept of Otherwhere along the lines of the sub-themes of Resilience, Ecology and Values. They will ultimately have an opportunity to voice their own opinions on the subject of current and future practices of architectural education in the student debate, which will conclude the UIA 2014 student programme. On Tuesday evening the students will be hosting a social event known as Archiball. Beyond these events, the student programme extends into the city itself in order to challenge ideas of forgotten spaces and uplift those areas and their communities needing a change of mind. City initiatives include the Student Pocket Parks, The Candy Chang community participation interventions and collaborations with the professionals working on the pedestrianisation of Dr Pixley Ka Seme - a central commercial street that runs right through the City of Durban. The UIA Student Programme looks at translating the theme of Otherwhere and the sub-themes of Resilience, Ecology and Values into student-centred events that unpack those themes in relation to the issues students face daily and within their lives and experiences of the built environment. The intention is that the UIA 2014 Durban will provide a platform for a distinctly student voice to be heard and noted in a way that may affect architectural students and education and thereby the future of architecture at a very fundamental and exciting level and in a way that respectfully challenges what we as architects do, how we do it and why.

UIA 2014 Durban Exhibitions Eric Noir UIA 2014 Exhibition’s Manager “UIA 2014 Durban highlights what Africa has to offer the global knowledge of Architecture and how Africa becomes an inspiration envisioning the future of the built environment.” Two main exhibition areas will be activated during ‘architecture OTHERWHERE’ UIA2014 Durban. The International Convention Centre (ICC) is the official Congress venue and exhibitions in this space, will be accessible to registered delegates only. Exhibition stands here will host presentations of the Member Sections and Programme Partners and will showcase the UIA Work Programmes. Laid out like a piece of urban fabric, the space will be dynamic and interactive with forums, debates and activities taking place on an ongoing basis throughout the period of the Congress. Open to the general public, as well as delegates, the Durban Exhibition Centre (DEC), has been designed to create an exploratory though-provoking space with exhibits and stands that are interactive and interesting to a wide range of visitors. The Walnut Road Urban Park is the creative corridor between the ICC and the DEC and will lead visitors to a space activated by a networking lounge, a temporary musallah (prayer facility), craft trade and landscape. The Trade Expo will host a book lounge, an art exhibition, various architectural exhibitions, as well as all catering offering.
UIA 2014 Durban Parallel Projects Shannon Moffett UIA 2014 Durban Cultural Manager “UIA 2014 Durban is a fantastic opportunity for the people of Durban to showcase their creative talents and that which makes the city a space that is unique in South Africa.” UIA2014 Durban, through a call for projects, will present delegates and the general public with a fringe programme that will further conversations around built environment issues and what makes Durban an “otherwhere” city. The diverse fringe programme is designed to showcase local, national and international talent, as well as a range of ‘otherwhere’ and city venues, including the beachfront, galleries, the CBD and Warwick Junction. These projects include otherwhere tours, murals and art installations, architectural and other exhibitions, live activations and much more. Some of these projects will be open only during the congress, while others will be in place for a few months. Some of the projects however are expected to have a long-term legacy impact for the city, and its residents. Information on these projects are available on our website, and delegates will also be given more information on these exciting projects during registration.
UIA 2014 Durban City Activation Projects Gabriella Peppas Project Coordinator: UIA 2014 Durban Spatial Legacy Projects (SLP) “UIA 2014 Durban is the catalyst to take dreams of the otherwhere and to say why not.” A number of entities, including the City’s architecture department, are coming together over the period of the Congress to create projects that will bring the life and energy back into the innercity and show what is possible. A lasting legacy for Durban resides in instituting mechanisms that re-invigorate and re-purpose assets in the inner city. The Project Co-ordinator for the Spatial Legacy projects, both as Local Government Liaison for the UIA 2014 Organisation Committee and as Programme Manager for City Architects, is Nina Saunders.

Three key projects are: Dr Pixley Ka Seme Linear Park A new wave of architectural renewal will be inspired through this project by redefining the perception of the inner city as an economic, social and cultural centre and emphasizing its value through it’s diversity. The city’s Inner City Renewal Team will activate Step One of the project vision for a pedestrian priority zone along Dr Pixely ka Seme Street in time for the Congress. An exhibition detailing the project and outlining the plans for a 400-metre stretch of Durban’s inner city greened and re-purposed will showcase what is possible with the creation of a high quality public space for people who live and work in the City to relax, exercise and play. Rivertown Rivertown is formerly Durban’s light industrial area, the Rivertown precinct lies to the east of the Durban CBD. A canal, currently enclosed, traverses this area, and water from areas that were formerly the wetlands in the City Bowl, drains into the Canal and is dispersed into the harbour at Cato Creek. The currently derelict area provides an opportunity for regeneration, to draw interest back to Durban’s CBD. Arts and culture initiatives and exhibitions will be run during the Congress to show the opportunities that exist for bringing sustainability and vibrancy back to the area. The UIA Heritage and Responsible Architecture Work Programmes have launched a student competition calling for urban design proposals for a rejuvenated precinct. Pocket Parks Tying in with the themes of Ecology, Resilience and Values, the Pocket Park Projects, will bring nature and delight back to the city, providing a place for relaxation, play areas for children, a small space for activities, events or street cafes, where people can socialize, share laughter and conversation… under the African sky. An Educational component involves the introduction of Indigenous, Edible and Medicinal plants into the Pocket Parks or Vest Parks – urban green/play spaces at a small scale. These small splashes of green could be tucked away between buildings, or scattered anywhere/otherwhere – even travelling through the urban fabric. A number of pocket parks, in Durban and surrounding areas, are being planned around the UIA2014 World Congress. The Pocket Park project is fuelling student ideas for engaging with the event.
UIA 2014 Durban International Student Competition Gerhard Bruyns UIA 2014 Durban International Student Competition Registrar “The notion of ‘Otherwhere’ facilitates an intercultural link between ‘otherness’ within ideas, diversity and our global citizenship.” This competition has provided an opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students from schools of architecture around the world to submit their solutions for short, medium and long-term interventions around the dynamic and complex Warwick Junction site in Durban, South Africa. The competition winners will be announced at the Congress. Outside of the cash value of the prizes, the prestige of winning this competition, which forms part of the UIA International Congress of Architecture, cannot be overstated. 15 shortlisted projects will be displayed at the DEC during the Congress as part of the main exhibition. 9 merit selections will be displayed at a venue in Warwick, to be announced.

WARWICK EXPERTS
UIA 2014 Durban Warwick Experts The preparations for the UIA 2014 Durban International Student Competition were supported by Rodney Harber (biography may be found in an earlier section of the programme) and Roz Harber – who were both important advisors to the compettion coordinator and to the student teams. In addition, the following people also acted as advisors with regards to Warwick Junction in Durban: Jhono Bennett Jhono Bennett obtained a Master’s degree in Architecture with design distinction from the University of Pretoria, South Africa (2011). He completed his undergraduate education in Architecture at the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal with a supplemented semester abroad at the Carlton University, Ottawa, Canada. During his two year practical training in Cape Town, he worked in addition to his primary office work with Architecture for Humanity on the Football for Hope Initiative, collaborating on the design for the Special Olympics Training centre in Katatura, Windhoek, Namibia. Slovo Park, a student and community research, design and in-funded construction project (2010), provided a critical stance in regard to the role of Architecture in the fluid and dynamic developing areas of South Africa. This was taken further in his Masters dissertation that focused on design as a response to vulnerable networks through qualitative fieldwork in Mamelodi, Pretoria. From this critical point Jhono, with various partners, have formed a Section 21 collaborative that provides a design based collaborative service between grass roots organisations, professionals, academia and government: 1:1 - Agency of Engagement. Soon after, he began working jointly as technical support to C.O.R.C, an NGO working under the Shack Dwellers International South African Alliance while working part time at various academic institutions in South Africa. Jhono currently works at the University of Johannesburg as a part time lecturer and Independent Researcher while managing the operations of 1:1 - Agency of Engagement. Bridget Horner Bridget Horner is an architect and Director of Space Syntax South Africa, she is also a lecturer in the Architectural Post Graduate Programme at the University of KwaZulu Natal.

STUDENT COMMITTEE
UIA 2014 Durban Student Steering Committee (SSC) and the Student Programme Sinethemba Sade Buthelezi President, Student Communications Head and Event coordinator for Archiball University of Kwa Zulu Natal Sinethemba is a Masters candidate in the discipline of Architecture at the University of Kwa ZuluNatal. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture from Wits University and has worked as an “architect in training” at Elphick Proome Architects. On Tuesday the 5th of August, 2014 the Student Steering Committee will be hosting the Archiball event. Archiball is a long standing Durban tradition. Over the years it has been staged as a semiformal event ending in an after party, where many well-known architects and students of the built environment have been spotted having a really great time on the dance floor! This year the UIA2014 conference will see this event being placed on an international stage! The event will form part of the UIA2014 experimental events which take place on each of evenings over all three conference days. Archiball is envisaged as a street party and the main social event for students of the UIA2014 conference. It aims to draw a crowd of 1500 people of different ages, colours and backgrounds. The venue of John Milne Street is within walking distance of the ICC, allowing the opportunity for participants to explore the diverse architectural urban landscape that Durban has to offer en route. Musical accompaniment from live bands and well known Dj’s will showcase the diverse sounds of Durban, to deliver a truly Otherwhere and OtherWay of partying! Samantha Rouche Programme Coordinator, Congress Logistics Head and Event Coordinator for the Student Debate A recently qualified architecture and community development -obsessive looking for opportunities for change-making and chocolate-eating. Samantha holds a Bachelor’s degree in architecture and a Master of Architecture from the University of Kwa Zulu Natal. The future of architectural education is a hot topic across the globe, and this debate allows for architectural students and professionals alike to engage in this pivotal conversation. The debate creates a platform for opinions from both ends of the spectrum, educators and students, in an attempt to unpack the current status of architectural education, the successes and downfalls thereof, and to pave the way forward. The event’s success depends on the participants to help answer some of the most critical questions in redefining the future of architectural education – the comparison between approaches in developed and developing countries; finding a way to bridge the gap between education in both of these contexts; the position on what is being taught currently to the grander scheme of things; as well as the relevance of theory in architectural design. In keeping with the conference theme of “Architecture Otherwhere”, through an open platform, this crucial global conversation stands to gain from this debate, bringing everything that defines “Architecture Otherwhere” to light. The three topics - A. Architecture in an Academic Environment; B. Architecture as Practice and C. Architecture as a Catalyst for Socio-Economic Development are designed to highlight where architectural education currently is in various parts of the world and where students think it should be headed in the ‘manufacture’ of quality products and what those products should in fact be. The student debate will be concluded by the drawing up of the UIA Student Charter on Architectural Education. The charter will be presented as guidelines to the institutions of architectural education around the world and will stand as testament to where students see the future of their education as well as of the architectural industry needing to go in order to remain relevant and valuable.

Sophie holds a BAS from the University of Kwa Zulu Natal (UKZN). The Murray & Roberts Des Baker Student Competition will be held in conjunction with the UIA 2014 Durban Congress, where 3rd year students from national schools of architecture will take part. In keeping with the UIA 2014 Congress theme of Otherwhere, the Des Baker theme encapsulates three components of play + purpose. The brief stipulates that a real client - an informal trader - in the respective student’s city be identified in order to provide an architectural intervention that will better their workplace. They are to propose a MOBILE FOLD-AWAY trading station that accommodates the specific trader’s wares, resist the elements and accommodate change over time. The top students from each school will have the opportunity to showcase their working-design in a pragmatic way, by traders literally selling goods at these stations. Students will be recognised by a multi-disciplinary panel with experience on this topic, for their architectural excellence and their ability to grasp the problem at hand. The award ceremony will take place during the Congress where prizes sponsored by Murray & Roberts will be handed out.

Candy’s “Career Path” and “It’s Good To Be Here” installations are featured, while her world famous “Before I Die…” and “I wish this was…” installations have been given a Durban remix to “I love Durban because…” and “I wish Durban was…”. These simple stencils transform into works of art as they become populated by the thoughts and desires of the people that give Durban its vibrancy and life. Generating art pieces that are uniquely for the people of Durban, by the people of Durban.

This keynote panel debate will bring together different voices from the area and aims to highlight what brings people together, what divides them and how outsiders interpret these dynamics. Warwick is both a destination for traders and clients as well as a route and transition space for commuters. The Congress aims to hear the multiplicity of voices that emerge from Warwick and to try and portray that complexity in a manner that allows us to debate how professionals may intervene in such contexts. This is conceptulised by Bridget Horner and Amira Osman in collaboration with Doung Jahangeer of DALA (artarchitecture for social change), Thomas Aquilina from the London School of Economics as well as a number of traders, city representatives and NGOs that operate in the area. An international group of students will be involved in preparing material to be presented at the panel debate to kick-start the conversation which will link to international debates on markets and malls, public space and protest as well as decision-making processes in areas of contestation.

The future of architectural education is a hot topic across the globe, and this debate allows for architectural students and professionals alike to engage in this pivotal conversation. The debate creates a platform for opinions from both ends of the spectrum, educators and students, in an attempt to unpack the current status of architectural education, the successes and downfalls thereof, and to pave the way forward. The event’s success depends on your participation to help answer some of the most critical questions in redefining the future of architectural education – the comparison between approaches in developed and developing countries; finding a way to bridge the gap between education in both of these contexts; the position on what is being taught currently to the grander scheme of things; as well as the relevance of theory in architectural design. In keeping with the conference theme of “Architecture Otherwhere”, through an open platform, this crucial global conversation stands to gain from this debate, bringing everything that defines “Architecture Otherwhere” to light. The three topics - A. Architecture in an Academic Environment; B. Architecture as Practice and C. Architecture as a Catalyst for Socio-Economic Development - are designed to highlight where architectural education currently is in various parts of the world and where students think it should be headed in the ‘manufacture’ of quality products and what those products should in fact be.

The charter will be presented as guidelines to the institutions of architectural education around the world and will stand as testament to where students see the future of their education as well as of the architectural industry needing to go in order to remain relevant and valuable. TUESDAY 5TH AUGUST 11.00-13.00 | Student Lounge on Walnut Road Schools/Community Outreach Project The school/community project allows our visiting and local professionals and students to participate in an outreach programme. Here, professionals and university students will engage with scholars from under-priviledged schools to expose them to the architectural profession and other professions within the built environment. This is done by engaging in an open studio and model building project, in an effort to bring an awareness of architecture as a career choice and the process of gaining access to an architectural education. The project will form a part of the Educational Legacy of the UIA 2014 Durban. By giving back, those participating will bring a new light to architecture, signifying the relevance of architecture to our urban environment, and creating new opportunities for future University students. “Architecture Otherwhere” is encompassed in the large scale studio space, of Walnut Road Lounge, that is created for all to participate and to achieve a common end-product of architectural awareness. TUESDAY 5TH AUGUST 14.00-16.00 | Plenary venue Hall 5 & 6 Pecha Kucha: Sustainability in Africa The UIA 2014 Student Congress, in collaboration with Pecha Kucha Durban will be hosting a Pecha Kucha Event. The Pecha Kucha theme ECOLOGICAL INNOVATIONS aims to showcase research and the application of sustainable building practice internationally – with a focus on African-led sustainable building networks. The presenters will present innovative, contemporary sustainable practices as well as those traditional and low-tech building technologies used in their countries to improve local urban and rural ECOLOGY. These could be spatial innovations as much as they could be conventional ‘green’ approaches to design in the built environment. The objective is to expose the ‘secret’ wealth of knowledge of building technologies from hand-made to hi-tech that exist across the African continent. Keynote Speaker: Thomas Aquilina Thomas Aquilina is a researcher at LSE Cities at the London School of Economics and Political Science. He is a graduated from the University of Edinburgh and in 2012 he was awarded the RIBA Norman Foster Travelling Scholarship, documenting informal livelihoods and recycling practices in six African cities. His research interest is the resiliencies of urban residency in Africa, and with it, the possibilities. He has worked for international architectural practices in London and at UNHabitat in Nairobi. He has recently been nominated to the RIBA Validation Panel.

Thami Manyathi Head of the eThekwini Transport Authority in Durban and Head of GO!Durban, the city’s new integrated rapid public transport network which is currently in development, examines how the city has taken up the challenge to re-create its built environment using mobility and movement of people as a way forward for social cohesion and economic growth through both informal and formal business development, creating equal accessibility for all, in a multi-layered and highly textured African metropolitan. Manyathi has worked in the public and private sector as a transport engineer and project manager in the US and South Africa, and holds an MSc in Transport Engineering from Berkeley University in California, USA, as well as a BSc in Civil Engineering from the University of Cape Town.

In this regard we have designed and built an “Urban Dwelling that grows its own food” for the UIA Congress as a parallel project. Our idea is simple. Create a dwelling that includes growing spaces for at home food production. The presentation shows the first prototype to demonstrate the feasibility. ISH would like to make this a global project with UIA members directly involved. The technologies can be used in fine homes and simple structures for people in poverty. Titus Mandle Sithole is a high school teacher from Swaziland. He teaches and uses hydroponic projects to grow food.

WEDNESDAY 6TH AUGUST 14.00-15.30 | The Forum Hall 2 CDEFH / 3A ICC Making Cities Work – Dealing with Sub-urban Decay in Capelle aan den Ijssel, the Netherlands by Urban Land & Housing Specialists: Ore Fika This session presents the work and final outcome of a four-week intensive atelier by students of IHS, Erasmus University Rotterdam. The atelier allowed the students mostly studying architecture and civil engineering, to tackle real issues by working in situ on a project/case of relevance. Resultdriven, the atelier was organised with support of a local partner, who proposed an issue on which they sought a new perspective and a solution for decaying neighborhoods. This gave the students a rare opportunity to work in collaboration with active practitioners in the field, with the prospect of having their ideas/solutions realized (depending on the results). The Atelier was focused on Capelle aan den Ijssel, a small town (satellite town) to the east of Rotterdam. Although part of the Rotterdam area, Capelle is an independent municipality, with a population of roughly 66,000 inhabitants. In many ways, it can be considered a suburb of Rotterdam, an extension following the massive demand for housing outside the city centre and overflow of new inhabitants in the 1960s. Very well connected- as part of the Rotterdam public transportation system, Capelle is nonetheless quite isolated. Within Capelle, the students challenged existing plans, design and propose alternatives for the Wiekslag, a social housing complex built in the 1960s and managed by Havensteder, one of Rotterdam’s largest housing associations (and the client for this project). As a result of lessening architectural quality, the residents of the Wiekslag changed and the complex now houses mid-to-low income families. Despite the investment in public space, social programs and architecture (façade), the neighborhood continues its downward spiral to decay. Meanwhile, Havensteder’s own resources were depleting as a result of the financial crisis. This meant that the association had limited means to revitalize the area and improve its quality (and livability). Demolition was not an option, and gentrification is not a solution (as the problem will only arise elsewhere). The student were asked to question the relevance and utility of current plans; think outside the box (literally) and explore how the Wiekslag can benefit from its urban surroundings on different scales (neighborhood scale, city scale), and develop realistic, plausible suggestions for the following: Facilities; Social programming; Public space; Design and refurbishment. The final product of the atelier was presented to the Mayor of Capelle aan den Ijssel in July 2014. Ore Faturoti Fika is an urban planner and architect. She is a specialist in urban land and housing development. Her main area of expertise is inclusionary housing, land tenure systems, community land trust, land grabbing, spatial development for green cities, benefits sharing in response to resettlement projects and sustainable urbanism. She is currently the program coordinator of the Urban Management and Development- Sustainable Urbanism (UMDSU) program and also the atelier Coordinator for Atelier Rotterdam and Almere.

WEDNESDAY 6TH AUGUST 16.00-16.30 | IDEAS WORKSHOP DEC 1 & 2 Israeli Colonization of the West Bank, between planning and implementation. Israel’s control of the Palestinian Territory has been planned for way before 1967. Israel had in mind maintaining a solid grip over the West Bank and Gaza. That included controlling the territory, the natural resources, the underground water and the borders. Several plans have been made public. All of them had one main goal; colonization of the West Bank. For more than forty years, Israel has been using settlements, outposts, military bases, bypass roads and recently the Annexation Wall to turn these plans into reality. The presentation will focus on how Israel turned its colonization plans into reality on the ground and how that is affecting the existence of the Palestinian people and of the State Palestine.

inequality, overpopulation, degradation of planet earth and serious structural contradictions. The brilliant period of progress based on fossil fuels is over, and current economic model has internal structural contradictions: continuous growth model, peak oil-oil crash, finanzialisation. Complex economic, social, political environmental problems no longer seem credible as top-down interventions of government operating at a macro-level.

MONDAY 4TH AUGUST 11.00-13.00; 14.00-16.00 | MR 12 CD ICC Fluvial Urbanism: A Tale of Three Cities “Fluvial Urbanism” is a proposal for a parallel one-day colloquium where leading scholars will discuss their research on new paradigms for the evolution of water-based settlements in three cities: Mexico City, Sao Paulo and Nantes. From retrofitting the metropolis to envisioning future cities on the water, each urban vision advocates a reconsideration of fluvial urbanism and a recalibration of our settlement patterns-how and where we live-in the context of climate variability, waste and energy management, global economic shifts, post- industrial legacies, environmental migration, and population growth within a rapidly urbanizing world. In Mexico City, a group of Mexican architects, urbanists, engineers and biologists have developed the project plan for Recovering the City of Lakes: Ciudad Futura. The project goal is to contribute to the supply of water from natural sources to the Valley of Mexico, the creation of new natural spaces, a great improvement in air quality, and greater population establishment planning by reestablishing the Texcoco Lake that was drained by the Spanish. In Sao Paulo, the Grupo Metropole Fluvial has developed an urban plan for a new water channel project Hidroanel Metropolitan de Sao Paulo, a 170km network of navigable canals. The proposal considers water as public good and limited natural resources that must be diversified to allow use by everyone and has as its primary goal to create a sustainable urban development where the waterway creates functional, educational and playful areas to the benefit of the entire population. And finally, the urban renewal project of the Ile de Nantes, an urban area adjacent to the River Loire containing numerous disused brownfield urban sites-remnants from the city’s naval and industrial history-aims to create a contemporary city through a renewed relationship between city and river with a goal of respecting the its unique landscape of docklands and its social and industrial tradition, spurring economic development, and creating an alternative to urban sprawl. After discussions undertaken in the 1990s by the City on urban renewal, the Ile de Nantes project became an integral part of the development policy of the metropolitan area. As evidence of the plan’s ongoing success, Nantes was awarded the title of European Green Capital “for its efforts to reduce air pollution and emissions, for its high quality and well-managed public transport system and for its biodiversity with 3,366 hectares of green spaces and several Natura 2000 zones which guarantee a protection of nature in the area.“

Each of these case study projects offers an interdisciplinary perspective on prospective studies of adaptation, resiliency, environmental justice and asset preservation of waterway cities around the world. We believe our project will greatly enhance the conference debate by presenting the innovations of three distinct cities in terms of how they are thinking about human settlement patterns in the 21st century and practicing city-making to better life for all. The colloquium will be organised through a series of themed presentations about each of the three case studies followed by a panel discussion in response to each presentation session. At the end of the morning and afternoon sessions, we plan to open up the discussion to audience participation.

Neighbourhoods are parts of the city, yet entities in their own right, clusters of people, places and resources are where communities are grown. It is here, through shared reference and experience, that cities develop their individual character – as well as their everyday issues. Too often, when we think about city planning, we forget to look at the unique challenges and cultural complexities at neighbourhood and street level, and in so doing we miss out on the richness, inspiration and practical requirements that might guide our individual and collective future-orientated decisions and interventions. In order to develop plausible and possible futures scenarios, rather than idealised, unrealistic scenarios, we are planning to utilise three different tools or techniques to facilitate the creation of more nuanced future scenarios. These tools are a simulation model, visual representations of urban design, and stories of possible futures. These techniques have been named: urban form – a spatial lens; urban narrative – storytelling techniques; urban simulation – facts and figures. The outcomes of Urban Form, Narrative and Sim, will be integrated and assimilated through an iterative process, which will constantly and consistently monitor the development of the Form, Narrative and Sim workshops across the various study areas and combine diverse visualisation techniques to form likely, creative, futures for South African city neighbourhoods. These techniques are being implemented in a number of neighbourhoods in Johannesburg, Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality and Cape Town. The workshop outcomes will be exhibited and discussed in public conversations at the UIA 2014 Durban.

The game simulates a land market, a competition situation that is a main determinant of land prices and land uses. It helps understand the interdependencies among urban actors (basically land owners, developers and households); and how an otherwise equal opportunity market may find equilibrium yet produce exclusion, precariousness, vacancy, encroachment and real estate bubble bursts. The game helps experience quite vividly and in a short time how property markets operate. It also provides with a platform to discuss how socially undesirable outcomes may occur independently of government intervention and how does locations -hence transport costsdensities and income levels influence land prices.

BIM, the process that involves creating and using an intelligent 3D model to inform and communicate project decisions can also play a part in the early stages of design development such as conceptual design. Software tools can extend building information modelling with the data and logic environment of a graphical algorithm editor. Whilst BIM supports better design decisions through exploring alternatives, it is analysis and simulation that truly provide insight. Due to technological advances air, fluid flow, and thermal simulation are now no longer unaffordable and exclusive to the experts but can be part of an everyday BIM workflow. Technology advances and trends also lead to the booming of Cloud computation. BIM, with its naturally collaborative nature, if a process that benefits greatly from the advances in cloud technology especially when it comes to anywhere anytime project access.

MONDAY 4TH AUGUST 14.00-16.00 | MR 22 G ICC Spiritual Places: Practical Ecumenism in Architecture Borderlands as a Place of Meeting and Dialogue and Cultures Today, when we witness common stratification of cultures and cults, when they are being set against each other, there is a great need for creating places of meeting and dialogue. These should be places free of aggression, conflicts and tensions, places free of proselytism, religious terror, fundamentalism and obscurantism. These should be places raised with respect for people’s identity, for their dissimilarity and diversity, with a sense of tolerance and love of one to another. Architecture, particularly architecture of spiritual places – places of worship and collective memory, is of a great importance in this process. It builds the closest, the most permanent and noticeable three-dimensional structure of these places. That is why, it seems to be essential to initiate and support dialogue which is based not on “fighting by means of values” of different cultures and religions, not on escalation of diversities and dissimilarities, which is an usurpation of superiority and regarding the others as strangers, but on a real meeting, exchange and mutual enrichment of cultures. These aspects and goals are to be revealed, initiated and implemented during this session. It is focused on the problem of borderland. This is a category which is already territorially and philosophically defined, yet dialectically it is open. The main aim of the conference is to show what the intercultural and interreligious dialogue is all about as well as what direct and far-reaching effects it may have. And how it can happen with the assistance of a good architecture and “a good practice” of creating it by the architect.

Garbage is simply a concept of human dogma” “In nature there is no such thing as garbage. Garbage is simply a concept of human dogma” (Michael Reynolds). The session presents a concept towards an imagined lively and free existence – attuned with nature. Not confined to the shackles of conventional modern living. In a world that is headed for crisis due to Global Warming, severe poverty, widespread housing shortages and expanding populations vulnerable to natural disasters, urgent solutions are required to live more sustainably. A shining example of radical sustainable living are Earthship. These are independent off-grid homes that are designed to be fully self-sufficient by drawing energy from the sun and wind, collecting and recycling rainwater, containing and treating household sewerage, and also producing food. A significant feature of Earthships is the use of recycled materials (what others consider to be garbage) such as used tyres, aluminum cans, glass bottles and scrap metal. Michael Reynolds, world renowned as the ‘Garbage Warrior’, pioneered the Earthship concept after 40 years of experimenting with sustainable construction methods in Taos, New Mexico. We recently embarked on a 6 week intensive field study at the Earthship Biotecture Academy in Taos, New Mexico where we got first hand experience on the theory and practice of Earthships. The purpose of the trip was to gain experience and build knowledge of Earthship construction and sustainable living. In this presentation, we share our personal experience of the Earthship Academy experience and reflect on the lessons learnt. We will also reflect on the value Earthships have in the developing world context and more specifically in the South African Architecture and Planning landscape.

opportunity to have a global conversation between educators who are developing new strategies in diverse and dynamic contexts, to interrogate the gaps between theory, practice and society. The AEF sessions are open to all registered congress delegates. AEF members who are not registered for the congress may attend on a day-registration basis. The discussion will be split into two sessions and participants may attend both or either. Morning session 11h00-13h00: participants’ presentations of explorations in architectural education with parallel themed discussions around these. Afternoon session 14h00-16h00: a single discussion on educational challenges to be addressed now, with global perspectives on architectural education by invited speakers. The last half hour will be an AEF members’ meeting. Participants who join the AEF at UIA are also welcome to attend. WEDNESDAY 6TH AUGUST 11.00-13.00 | MR 12 CD ICC Re-Imagining Public Spaces: Creating Vibrant & People-Centered Public Spaces The intention of this working session, is to present the outcomes from a recent Municipal Seminar and a National/International learning exchange on public space planning. The session will also encourage local and international delegates to participate and explore new and more creative ways of conceptualising, planning, implementing and managing public spaces in order to begin a conversation on re-thinking and re-imagining public spaces. The concept of Public Space has emerged as a significant issue in our international development arena. UN HABITAT recently prepared a Global Toolkit on Public Space, which also aligns with the United Nations 2016 Sustainable Development Goals. It is a concept that is current and relevant to both developed and developing cities. As a leading metropolitan municipality in South Africa, it is imperative Durban stays abreast with international planning trends. The UIA affords the opportunity to bring together interdisciplinary practitioners together to discuss their stance on Public Space and encourage imaginative thinking in the way that we approach the development of our spaces, especially in African cities grappling with developmental challenges.

We’re experiencing a complete upheaval of the human condition. The relations we’ve had with nature for millennia are changing, and human establishments are evolving in their wake. Idiosyncrasy is a key to render specificity and difference, shared values, common values rich with otherness, cultures, climates, geographies, etc. The differences are the foundation of what’s shared, what’s in common. The more you’re part of a culture, the more you access the universal.

A ‘contextual’ architecture pays attention to the site, its population, its history and its resources. French architects choose this way according to the four cornerstones of sustainability: economy, ecology, social… and culture. This conference is a tribute to their creative use of traditional fiberbased materials in a contemporary way, looking for the happy medium between low-tech and hightech.

The inspiring films have been curated to spark debate around topical issues and to tell the stories of architecture otherwhere. Not to be missed is the segment of short films among which will be the top entries from the AAFF Online Short Film Competition held in 2014. The film competition focuses on the theme of voices (in)visible and explores the temporal interactions with place. More information is available at www.aaff.co.za. Some of the movies to be shown are: Great Expectations; Director: Jesper Wachtmeister; Sweden 2013 Great Expectations presents the grand architectural visions of our time - visions in which the imagination has been allowed to run free. Some of the buildings are unbuilt and, as such, unbound by earthly conditions, while others are revolutionary to their inhabitants and viewers. From the functionalist cities of Le Corbusier to the light-weight structures of Buckminster Fuller to Paolo Soleri’s crystalline villages in the desert, Great Expectations is a film about architecture projects and visions that have brought changes in our ways of living and challenged our concepts of function, value, truth and beauty. The Human Scale: Director: Andreas Dalsgaard: Denmark/Bangladesh/China/New Zealand/ USA 2012 More than half of the world’s population lives in urban areas and by 2050 this will increase to 80%. This mass human migration has given birth to mega cities, places that both magical but also intimately related to global problems such as peak oil, climate change and deteriorating health. Danish architect and professor Jan Gehl has studied human behavior in cities for more than 40 years, documenting how modern cities discourage human interaction, leaving us each alone in an almost infinitely large crowd. The Human Scale suggests that we can build cities in ways that takes human needs for inclusion and intimacy into account. Microtopia; Director: Jesper Wachtmeister; Sweden 2007 Microtopia investigates various ways in which architects, artists and ordinary problem-solvers are pushing the limits to find answers to the dream of portable and flexible housing – while also creating independence from the grid. The film looks at the personal reasons behind these unusual dwellings and explores the technology of how they actually work. From pavements to rooftops to rivers to industrial landscapes, the film chronicles the ingenious ways in which people are living their dreams of a smaller physical and carbon footprint. At its core, Microtopia deals with urgent ideas and contemporary issues that are central to the ways that we all live, be they big or small. The Vision of Paolo Soleri: Prophet in the Desert; Director: Lisa Scafuro; Italy / USA 2013 This is a biographical documentary on the architect, artist, and environmentalist Paolo Soleri, and the story of an unprecedented artistic quest. Born in Torino, Italy in 1919, Soleri came to America in 1946 to mentor under Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesin West. After one and a half years, Soleri left Wright to embark on a blazing original course of his own. While uncovering Soleri’s legacy as an architect, environmentalist, and philosopher, the film poses critical questions about mankind’s future, and architecture in a world facing environmental, social, and economic crisis. Given the current global crisis, Soleri’s life’s work has become increasingly relevant to our world dilemma, and his ideologies, prophetic.

The completed artwork will be donated to the Addington Children’s Hospital in Durban. This hands-on collage designing workshop for will focus on the jazz theme that has always resonated with Edjohnetta’s work.

It might be keen but we have a dream… We would like to invite you to be our guest at this UIA parallel program “b l u e t a b l e_a flying classroom”. We are convinced that through this form of dialogue the topic of here, there and otherwhere can be intensely explored by the students as an approach to new spatial challenges in the 21st century. During the UIA Congress, as the kick-off for the international workshop program SummerSchool LC:SP+CT, our students from Brazil (São Paulo), Germany (Konstanz) and South Africa (Cape Town and Durban), are welcoming selected guests to a discussion without borders – a face-to-face encounter. They are going to prepare some questions to deepen the aspect of “!culture determing architecture?”. These talks are the fundament for their following projects within the three weeks workshop as a co-operation of schools of architecture from Brazil, Germany and South Africa. These dialogues will take place at our “blue tables” during the UIA Congress. The concept of the SummerSchool LC:SP+X cultivates the idea of “a flying classroom” as an unbound placeless teaching method, based on the conviction that architectural education has to be experienced with all senses, which means that the space as well as carefully selected or coincidentally met personalities are the most imprinting teachers at every time and at every place: the lesson becomes an on-site appointment. In Durban the workshop structure will be extended by the module of the “UIA-blue table” as an invitation to enter into a dialogue with speakers of the UIA congress, talking face to face to the students from Brazil, Europe and South Africa, answering their questions and opening new perspectives: an achitectural dialogue between continents.

MONDAY 4TH AUGUST 14.00-14.30 | Ideas Workshop DEC 1 & 2 Design, cities & the world cup: book launch by Zahira Asmal 4 years after successfully hosting the 2010 FIFA World Cup, South Africa celebrates 20 years of its democracy, while also reflecting on the impact of the event on the design of its cities. As Brazil celebrates 30 years of democracy, the challenges, solutions and opportunities of hosting mega events like the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games have been placed at the centre of global attention. Design, Cities & the World Cup will present a critical dialogue and discussion on the role of the World Cup and other mega events as key drivers of design and city making and ultimately in forging a greater South African society. Hosted by Zahira Asmal of DESIGNING_SOUTHAFRICA, the forum is seen as part of an on-going discussion on the role of mega events in South African and Brazilian cities, and how they can be better used to catalyse urban solutions, be they spatial, social or infrastructure oriented. Zahira Asmal is the founder and managing director of DESIGNING_SOUTHAFRICA, a non-profit research and advocacy organisation focused on design for social advancement.

after 1994 and South Africa’s isolation ended. This manifested in a far more sophisticated and inclusive conservation ethic, with many sites around South Africa bearing powerful demonstration of this journey. The work of 65 practices, (independently reviewed by 67 academics and architects) demonstrate the tremendous skills required by an architect dealing with conservation. Projects range from the longest lasting commissions in South Africa (the Castle, Cape Town 33 years; Church Square, Pretoria 28 years) to the modest conservation of houses at a Moravian Mission Station involving labour trained on site. South Africa boasts an impressive, diverse and valuable built heritage in service of a broad multicultural democracy. It offers possibly the most complicated postcolonial context one might imagine, more so than any even Australia or the United States.

After the World Cup, the Mother City of South Africa is again on the global stage. It is also a year of celebration for architecture with UIA Durban. This opportunity should enable us – architects and researchers to rethink the process of project on the engagement of our profession in the social transformation of society. We believe that “Design” should and could profit to everybody. For “Design” to become a popular event enjoyable for all, the key question is not interest but accessibility. Our workshop is on the topic of cultural platforms in disadvantaged areas of Cape Town. Through this initiative, we would like to share our experience with designers from other places, other cultures, other contexts. Session moderator is Ning Liu, a Chinese architect based in Paris and in Shanghai and visiting academic at African Centre for Cities at University of Cape Town in spring 2013, researcher at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne. Liu is the Co-founder of Building for Climate architects in Paris. The office works on social and sustainable projects in developing context. One of the ongoing projects: an educational centre for handicapped children in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Carin Smuts is the invited architect to the session as an expert. Carin won Global Award for Sustainable Architecture 2008. She is a South African architect based in Cape Town, has worked for 30 years in a developmental culture where participation has produced the build environment solutions, works collaboratively with communities, tertiary institutions and NGOs.

TUESDAY 5TH AUGUST 13.00-13.30 | Ideas Workshop DEC 1 & 2 Ten Years + One Hundred Buildings: A kaleidoscope of contemporary South African architecture – book launch by Ora Joubert This contribution presents the broad spectrum of contemporary South African architecture through the lens of the most meritorious Master’s degree dissertations of the last decade. In its highly experimental and commercially unfretted form, these academic studies encapsulate the socio-political discourse that accompanies the quest for a quintessential South African mode of architectural expression. The range of work serves as a fascinating account of South Africa’s tumultuous past, drawing attention to the vital role of architecture as vehicle for societal transformation. Moreover, the making of meaningful place with limited and sustainable resources in an extraordinarily diverse context is an equally fundamental component of the current discourse, to which notions of identity and socio-cultural relevance considerably add. Ora Joubert was head of architecture at two South African universities and the recipient of numerous design awards, with her work published in more than sixty national and international publications. She was also convener and editor of the seminal compendium 10 years 100 buildings – architecture in a democratic South African (Cape Town: Bell-Roberts, 2009)which received an award of excellence from the South African Institute of Architecture. She is presently preparing a companion to the latter, on the most meritorious student dissertations of the last decade.

The 26th Sophia Gray Memorial lecture will be presented by MASHABANE ROSE ASSOCIATES Architects and Urban designers on 28 August 2014 in Bloemfontein, South Africa. The most important consideration for the nomination in this regard is excellence in the field of architecture and a contribution to the architectural debate in Southern Africa.

Competitions that result in unsatisfactory architecture are been foisted on a client, who is forced to accept it, thus the competition results in a waste of money. On the other hand proponents of the competition suggested that: competitions provide opportunities for young architects: recognition, exploration of ideas and experimentation (technical innovation etc.). For Clients/Promoters competitions showcase possibilities, solutions and capabilities, providing marketing material “improve architects focus on client needs allow clients to survey a range of capable, motivated architects.

UIA 2014 DURBAN: UNE INTRODUCTION «Chercher ailleurs d’autres façons de créer un avenir meilleur » Luciano Lazzari, UIA 2014 Durban, Membre du Comité Scientifique. Le 25ème Congrès Mondial des Architectes de l’Union Internationale des Architectes, l’UIA 2014 Durban, se tiendra à l’International Convention Centre de Durban du 3 au 7 août 2014. C’est la première fois que ce congrès aura lieu en Afrique Australe et nous nous attendons à recevoir 6000 délégués venant des quatre coins du monde. L’Union Internationale des Architectes (UIA) organise un Congrès Mondial tous les trois ans, et il y a eu 24 précédents congrès de l’UIA. L’UIA est une organisation non gouvernementale accréditée par les Nations Unies, et elle représente les associations professionnelles d’architectes dans 124 pays, et environ 1,3 million d’architectes dans le monde. Le secrétariat de l’UIA, situé à Paris, est responsable de la gestion de l’Union et de l’administration générale. Le choix de la ville hôte du Congrès se fait six ans à l’avance. Lors du Congrès de l’UIA à Turin 2008, l’Institut Sud-africain des Architectes (SAIA) a remporté la candidature pour accueillir ce Congrès mondial triennal avec le soutien du Ministère national des Travaux Publics, neuf ans à peine après la réadmission postdémocratie de SAIA à l’UIA. Le thème du Congrès est ARCHITECTURE, AILLEURS, AUTREMENT, et l’idée est de reconnaître l’environnement bâti comme une force majeure qui peut être mobilisée en vue d’une vie meilleure pour tous. À l’effet d’appuyer cet objectif, l’Archevêque Desmond Tutu a approuvé l’UIA2014 et a généreusement accepté le patronage du Congrès. L’UIA 2014 Durban est une occasion unique et très pertinente pour l’Afrique du Sud pour mettre en valeur le développement de son environnement bâti pendant les vingt années qui ont suivi la démocratie. Dans le contexte d’une ville diversifiée et multidimensionnelle, l’UIA2014 Durban invite les praticiens, les universitaires et les concepteurs, les étudiants, les leaders d’opinion, les activistes, les artistes et les communautés de toutes les disciplines impliquées dans la construction de la ville à prendre part à un débat unique sur l’architecture, les établissements humains et l’évolution des villes. L’événement est destiné à être un événement véritablement inclusif réunissant différents acteurs afin d’explorer comment les architectes jouent un rôle indispensable en abordant les développements sociaux et environnementaux à travers les sous-thèmes du Congrès de l’Écologie, de Résilience et de Valeurs. L’UIA 2014 sera unique. L’organisation du congrès en Afrique du Sud est significative au moment du développement du pays étant donné que la prise de conscience des réalités spatiales du pays et de ses villes doit être examinée à fond à la lumière des valeurs qui sont essentielles à l’ère post-apartheid. Le congrès aura également une pertinence significative à l’échelle mondiale à un moment où les «bonnes vieilles habitudes» sont remises en question. ARCHITECTURE, AILLEURS, AUTREMENT célébrera la diversité en explorant d’autres communautés, d’autres régions, d’autres disciplines et d’autres façons de penser la pratique et l’enseignement de l’architecture. Globalement, le discours sur l’architecture se trouve constamment remis en question en ce qui concerne l’enquête et l’exploitation d’autres modes de vie et de formes d’habitation alternatives - ainsi que quelque chose de fondamental pour notre propre dialogue professionnel, qui est la recherche de moments de recours en tant que formes de pratiques spatiales alternatives.

DURBAN, VILLE HÔTE « Impossible-Durban à côté de Durban-en face de vous, Durban-devenue-ronde avec Fragile Durban, Durban arrêté autant que Durban non-stop. Durban vire entre la catastrophe et l’opulence, l’examen de créations architecturales et des composants d’échelles et de myriades d’intensités. Que sera l’architecture là-bas? » Hilton Judin, Membre du Comité Scientifique de l’UIA 2014 Durban L’UIA 2014 invite les architectes, les étudiants en architecture, les autres professionnels et les communautés du monde entier à célébrer Durban et sa place unique dans le système mondial. La nature diversifiée et multidimensionnelle de Durban a donné des orientations à l’élaboration des thèmes du Congrès. Avec Durban comme un laboratoire vivant et terrain d’essai, la question d’ARCHITECTURE, AILLEURS, AUTREMENT semble pertinente comme base conceptuelle du Congrès. Contextuellement, il serait possible de voir Durban comme un paysage urbanisé, d’accepter des solutions de rechange et [D’] AUTRES modes urbains. Le concours vise donc à explorer d’AUTRES moyens d’engagement avec la ville, d’AUTRES approches de conception viables et d’AUTRES modes de pratique. Ainsi, l’ARCHITECTURE, AILLEURS, AUTREMENT renforce l’idée que les différents modes de vie, les croyances (religieuses et culturelles), les communautés, les différentes façons de faire et les différentes façons de [co]habiter la ville, ou toute forme de croisement qui peut exister, contribuent toutes l’identité unique de Durban.
THÈME ET SOUS-THÈMES DU CONGRÈS DE L’UIA 2014 DURBAN Autres Pensées | Autres Régions | Autre Pratique | Autres Disciplines | Autres Communautés L’ARCHITECTURE, AILLEURS, AUTREMENT doit d’être explorée sous un certain nombre de thèmes et sous-thèmes dans le contexte de Durban, en Afrique du Sud. La dynamique de Durban, en tant que ville, comme ville-région bien reliée avec d’importantes infrastructures ainsi qu’avec des agents qui opèrent dans et à travers la ville, a créé un contexte urbain très spécifique. La compétition justifie donc la nécessité de/d’un projet[s] pour répondre, au-delà des thèmes et sous-thèmes de l’UIA, à la dynamique de la ville, aux agents spécifiques urbains et à leur agence spécifique et aux préoccupations exprimées par les partenaires et les collaborateurs de l’UIA. RésilienceLe premier sous-thème de l’UIA 2014 est la RÉSILIENCE, qui doit être explorée à travers plusieurs domaines prioritaires: ÉMERGENCE, ATTÉNUATION DE LA PAUVRETÉ, ÉCONOMIES SPATIALES et GÉOPOLITIQUES. La résilience est définie comme stratégies de vie développées par les communautés ainsi que les interventions critiques qui contribuent à réduire la pauvreté. Les concepts de résilience soulignent également l’important rôle du gouvernement et de l’investissement du gouvernement dans la reconfiguration de l’économie spatiale au profit de tous. Quoique certains de ces sujets soient en phase avec les problèmes et les solutions de l’Afrique du Sud, leur importance trouve place auprès de toutes les formes d’architecture et de pratique de développement au niveau mondial. Ce sous-thème favorise des débats interdisciplinaires sur les rôles de tous les créateurs d’espaces et de lieux dans la transformation spatiale, avec une compréhension que l’innovation existe à l’interface de différentes disciplines. Un domaine prioritaire spécifique sera ÉTABLISSEMENTS HUMAINS DURABLES: considérations sociales et techniques dans le développement de nouvelles visions pour la pratique dans l’environnement bâti. ÉcologieL’ÉCOLOGIE englobe un certain nombre de domaines prioritaires qui sont notamment: TEMPS, ÉVOLUTION, SYSTÈMES, PROCESSUS et PRÉOCCUPATIONS ENVIRONNEMENTALES. Ce sous-thème reconnaît le rôle de l’architecte dans un réseau plus grand, interconnecté, et systémique - favorisant ainsi une perspective du design à long terme. La prise en compte de la 4ème - temporelle - dimension du temps comme faisant partie intégrante du design et du processus de prise de décision est essentielle à la pratique future de l’architecture. L’évolution est intrinsèquement liée à la notion de temps car elle tient compte des processus de production

architecturale qui reconnaît les personnes et le lieu - et vise à intervenir dans l’environnement construit par la compréhension de l’environnement bâti comme un écosystème nécessitant de la délicatesse pour aider à maintenir les systèmes existants dans les états relatifs d’équilibre. Ce sous-thème permettra de mettre l’accent sur la DURABILITÉ, le DESIGN ÉCOÉNERGÉTIQUE et la CONSTRUCTION ÉCOLOGIQUE. Il permet également un domaine prioritaire sur l’architecture durable dans des conditions de changement et de concepts de Construction dans un cadre Ouvert. Valeurs VALEURS est le troisième et dernier sous-thème. Ici, les domaines prioritaires comprennent les notions d’AUTRES de la PRATIQUE ARCHITECTURALE et de l’ÉDUCATION. L’UIA 2014 explorera les pratiques africaines, liées aux pratiques internationales, comme un moyen de résoudre les problèmes de développement très spécifiques, de remettre en question les valeurs traditionnelles par rapport aux nouvelles valeurs, d’établir de nouvelles relations à/avec une planète vivante, et, surtout, d’établir un sentiment de respect dans la diversité et l’humilité. En outre, l’UIA 2014 a voudrait organiser des plateformes éducatives interactives collaboratives pour les communautés et les professionnels. Ces plateformes sont destinées à réexaminer les valeurs professionnelles, à développer des méthodes et des techniques pour l’engagement professionnel, et à examiner l’éthique associée à la pratique de l’architecture et du design. Un accent particulier sera également mis sur l’engagement avec l’INFORMALITÉ ET LA PAUVRETÉ URBAINE À TRAVERS L’ENSEIGNEMENT DU DESIGN ET LA PRATIQUE. C’est une période très palpitante pour la profession d’architecte en Afrique du Sud et c’est, en général, un moment spécial pour l’Afrique du Sud en termes de villes, d’espace et de design. Cette 20ème année de démocratie est aussi l’année de Cape Town, Capitale Mondiale du Design, une célébration de 20 ans de design Indaba et de nombreux autres événements, petits et grands, qui examinent la transformation spatiale en Afrique du Sud. De grandes synergies sont découvertes entre les différents programmes - et de grandes conversations ont lieu entre les grandes villes d’Afrique du Sud. C’est l’occasion de présenter la pratique architecturale sud-africaine à la communauté architecturale du monde. Nous vous invitons…
MOT DE BIENVENUE DU PRÉSIDENT DE L’UNION INTERNATIONALE DES ARCHITECTES (UIA) Aux délégués, aux partenaires, aux participants aux divers programmes de ce congrès, et à tous ceux qui ne se sont pas encore inscrits, Bienvenue à Durban! Bienvenue au premier congrès de l’UIA en Afrique sub-saharienne, le deuxième de l’histoire à avoir lieu dans l’hémisphère sud, le troisième du genre sur le continent africain. Nous sommes tous heureux de ce que nous allons voir, entendre et sentir ici. À Turin en 2008, il nous a été dit: «Vous pensez tous que vous connaissez l’Afrique parce que vous avez écouté sa musique et vu sa mode, mais en tant qu’architectes, vous devez vivre l’expérience de son architecture ». L’ordre du jour de ce congrès exprime admirablement le principe de l’Architecture, Ailleurs, Autrement. Nous allons assister à diverses conférences, écouter des discours liminaires, voir des programmes de travail et prendre part aux travaux en commissions; nous allons lire des rapports de la Section Membres, et voir des expositions, mais pas exclusivement. Grâce à l’ensemble des événements, des activités de la ville et des projets parallèles, le congrès se propagera au-delà du centre des congrès. C’est l’Afrique, c’est Autrement! Tous les participants d’Ailleurs, venant de 90 pays du monde enregistrés à ce jour, contribueront à l’Architecture, Ailleurs, Autrement. Vivre, comparer, discuter, expliquer et comprendre la grande diversité de notre planète vont enrichir l’ensemble de nos cultures individuelles et donner à tous les compétences dont nous avons tant besoin pour échapper à la banalité mondiale. L’humanité a

ses origines en Afrique. L’art moderne et l’architecture ont été inspirés par l’Afrique. Ce Congrès est la clé pour bâtir la prochaine modernité dont la planète a besoin de toute urgence pour survivre au changement climatique. Joe Noero, célèbre architecte sud-africain a une fois déclaré que «le monde occidental a inventé toutes les crises auxquelles l’humanité est confrontée aujourd’hui; les solutions viendront d’Afrique ». Quel espoir extraordinaire! J’invite tous les participants à ce congrès à rendre hommage au travail exceptionnel que les organisateurs ont fait au cours de ces six longues années, et toutes les incertitudes, les doutes et les craintes qu’ils ont dû surmonter pour organiser cet événement, ce qui mérite que nous fassions de lui le plus grand succès dans l’histoire de l’UIA. Et j’invite les organisateurs de tous les futurs congrès à venir tirer leur inspiration de tout ce qui se passe ici. ALBERT DUBLER PRÉSIDENT DE L’UIA
MOT DE BIENVENUE DU PRÉSIDENT DE L’INSTITUT DES ARCHITECTES D’AFRIQUE DU SUD (SAIA) L’organisation du 25ème Congrès Mondial de l’Union Internationale des Architectes (UIA) Durban 2014 en Afrique du Sud est une étape importante et historique pour notre pays et pour le continent africain. En avril de cette année, notre pays a célébré vingt ans de notre démocratie durement gagnée, mais la triste perte en décembre 2013, de notre icône et fils du terroir, le Président Nelson Mandela, à qui nous rendons hommage. Pour nous, les peuples d’Afrique, cet événement, marque encore une autre acceptation humble par les nations du monde que finalement il est temps que l’Afrique soit comptée parmi les grandes nations du monde, une geste en retard, qui ont entièrement accepté cela avec une grande humilité. L’arrivée de l’organisme mondial sur le continent africain et plus particulièrement au port de Durban, donnera certainement à la fraternité des architectes l’occasion d’avoir des échanges et de dialoguer avec d’autres professionnels de l’environnement bâti et les communautés d’ailleurs, étant donné que les différents orateurs interviendront sous les sous-thèmes : Résilience; Écologie et Valeurs. Je n’ai aucun doute dans mon esprit que ces dialogues et débats nous fourniront des modèles sur lesquels nous pouvons jauger l’équité et la fonctionnalité de nos villes africaines au moment où nous entamons un processus de re-imaginer nos futurs établissements humains. Je pense que ce congrès permettra à nos professionnels de l’environnement bâti, aux praticiens et aux universitaires d’exprimer leurs idées spatiales et métaphoriques contre celles du monde éprouvé, dans un effort de ré-imaginer les villes que l’Afrique a héritées. Malheureusement, les villes impérialistes et de l’apartheid ont été imaginées et créées par des architectes donc à l’inverse, ces villes et ces établissements mentionnés ci-avant ne peuvent être « reconstruites » que par intervention architecturale. C’est sur cette note que la participation des professionnels et des universitaires internationaux est recherchée et est hautement appréciée. L’Institut sud-africain des Architectes a pris un engagement avec le peuple de ce pays que de ce Congrès naîtra un héritage durable qui concrétisera la transformation de notre profession et les objectifs stratégiques de développement de notre pays. C’est ma profonde conviction que, avec vos engagements intellectuels, nous matérialiserons cet engagement. Que tous les Membres Exécutifs de l’UIA, les congressistes, les étudiants, les visiteurs et les amis soient enrichis par les délibérations du congrès et mettent à profit leur séjour à Durban, en Afrique du Sud. SINDILE Ngonyama Président de l’Institut Sud-africain des Architectes (SAIA)

MOT DE BIENVENUE DU PRÉSIDENT DU COMITÉ D’ORGANISATION NATIONAL Toute conférence mondiale qui se tient en Afrique du Sud en 2014 est spéciale. Nous célébrons 20 ans de notre démocratie et cela va de pair avec la réflexion habituelle sur la manière dont nous avons œuvré pendant ces 20 ans. L’héritage spatial laissé par la planification de l’apartheid a été l’un des défis les plus difficiles à surmonter, et c’est ce qui a amené notre ancien Ministre des Finances, Pravin Gordhan, à dire que «... le plus grand défi pour le Plan de Développement National est comment nous pouvons intégrer nos villes ....» Une opinion parmi d’autres est que la profession d’architecte dans ce pays n’a pas été à la hauteur des attentes pour relever les défis auxquels sont confrontés les pays en développement tel que le nôtre, étant donné le contexte des activités de l’ère post-apartheid. À ces complexités nationales, s’ajoutent les nombreux défis auxquels le monde fait face: le changement climatique, la croissance démographique, les crises financières mondiales, le VIH, l’escalade des guerres et une baisse générale de la morale et des valeurs. Il y a un temps pour la réflexion critique et l’action. Les architectes et les autres (activistes, penseurs, autres professionnels de l’environnement bâti) doivent apporter leur contribution. Durban 2014 sert de catalyseur pour faire avancer cette discussion. Le thème «Architecture, Ailleurs, Autrement» est un choix délibéré en ce sens qu’il fournit un cadre propice aux Congressistes d’examiner les pratiques anciennes et actuelles et les universités et, ce faisant, de proposer et de développer de nouvelles et / ou créatives façons dont nous pouvons faire progresser la profession. La conversation a commencé et se poursuivra bien après le Congrès. Nous avons l’occasion de lui donner une impulsion à travers ce Congrès. Nous espérons que la compilation des documents, les interventions spéciales, les ateliers et les expositions vous encourageront à apporter votre contribution - et, ce faisant, à développer la voix et le rôle de l’architecture afin qu’elle soit plus efficace pour relever les défis auxquels ce pays et le reste du monde sont confrontés; une efficacité qui peut toucher les populations des pays le plus sous-développés et les décideurs dont les actions ont une incidence sur la vie de millions de personnes. Voici un congrès sur l’Architecture, Ailleurs, Autrement avec des résultats les plus réussis! HASSAN ASMAL PRÉSIDENT DU COMITÉ D’ORGANISATION DE L’UIA 2014 DURBAN

Le Lieu du Congrès est l’International Convention Centre Inkosi Albert Luthuli (ICC) à Durban à 38 lieux. Ce Centre des Conventions comprend le Centre des Expositions de Durban (DEC) et Walnut Road qui le sépare de l’ICC et qui sera fermée pendant l’événement. Walnut Road sera «occupée» par des étudiants et divers autres programmes. Elle aura également un Mussallah (espace de prière) pour nos délégués musulmans ainsi que certains commerçants de Warwick. De nombreuses activités parallèles auront également lieu à cet endroit. Veuillez-vous rendre à la fin du Programme pour avoir des informations fondamentales et importantes à l’intention des délégués. Le programme du Congrès de l’UIA Durban 2014 contient plus de 270 séances classées comme suit: Programme Principal, Programme et activités des Étudiants, Atelier Parallèle, Réunions et des Présentations Parallèles, Séances Universitaires Parallèles, Activités Culturelles et Sociales et de Réunions Spéciales. Ces catégories sont disponibles sur le module du programme en ligne. Les délégués peuvent faire usage des filtres disponibles pour chercher les événements par catégorie, par lieu ou par le nom de l’orateur.
PROJETS PARALLÈLES DE L’UIA 2014 DURBAN Sous la direction du Directeur Culturel de l’UIA 2014 Durban, Shannon Moffet, et par le truchement d’un appel à projets, l’UIA 2014 Durban présentera aux délégués et au grand public un programme d’accompagnement qui fera progresser les conversations sur les questions de l’environnement bâti et ce qui fait de Durban une ville « Ailleurs, Autrement ». Le programme parallèle diversifié est conçu pour mettre en valeur les talents locaux, nationaux et internationaux, ainsi qu’une série de «ailleurs, autrement » et des lieux de la ville, y compris le front de mer, des galeries, le Quartier des Affaires et Warwick Junction. Ces projets comprennent des visites ailleurs, autrement, des peintures murales et des installations artistiques, des expositions d’architecture et d’autres projets d’habilitation en direct et bien d’autres encore. Certains de ces projets seront ouverts seulement pendant le congrès, tandis que d’autres seront en place pendant quelques mois après le congrès. Certains de ces projets devraient toutefois avoir un impact sur l’héritage à long terme pour la ville, et ses habitants. Les informations sur ces projets sont disponibles sur notre site internet, et les délégués recevront également de plus amples informations sur ces projets passionnants lors de leur inscription.
PROJETS DU PATRIMOINE SPATIAUX DE L’UIA 2014 DURBAN Un certain nombre d’entités, y compris le département d’architecture de la Ville, se réuniront pendant le Congrès pour créer des projets qui restaureront la vie et l’énergie au centre-ville et pour montrer ce qui est possible. Un projet du patrimoine viable pour Durban réside dans l’instauration de mécanismes qui revigorent et redonnent un sens au centre-ville. Nina Saunders, coordonnatrice des projets d’immobilisation spatiaux, agit en tant que lien avec le gouvernement local du Comité d’organisation de l’UIA 2014 et en qualité de Directrice du Programme pour les Architectes de la ville. Il y a trois projets clés qui sont:

Dr Pixley Ka Seme Linear Park Une nouvelle vague de renouveau architectural sera inspiré à travers ce projet par la redéfinition de la perception du centre-ville comme un centre économique, social et culturel et l’accent mis sur sa valeur à travers sa diversité. L’équipe du renouvellement du centre-ville activera la Première Étape de la vision du projet pour une zone de priorité aux piétons le long de la rue Dr pixely ka Seme à temps pour le Congrès. Une exposition donnant les détails du projet et décrivant les plans pour un tronçon de 400 mètres au centre-ville de Durban verdi et reconçu présentera ce qui est possible avec la création d’un espace public de qualité pour les personnes qui vivent et travaillent dans la ville pour se détendre, faire de l’exercice et jouer. Rivertown Rivertown est l’ancienne zone industrielle légère de Durban, l’enceinte Rivertown se trouve à l’Est du Quartier des Affaires de Durban. Un canal, actuellement enclavé, traverse cette zone, et de l’eau dans les zones qui étaient autrefois des zones humides de la City Bowl, se jette dans le canal et va au port à Caton Creek. La zone abandonnée a besoin de régénération pour attirer à nouveau des gens vers le centre des affaires de Durban. Des initiatives artistiques et culturelles et des expositions seront organisées pendant le Congrès pour montrer les opportunités qui existent pour restaurer la durabilité et le dynamisme dans la zone. Les programmes de travail de l’UIA sur le patrimoine et l’architecture responsable ont lancé un concours pour étudiants en vue des propositions de design urbain pour un quartier rajeuni. Parcs de Poche Coïncidant avec les thèmes Écologie, Résilience et Valeurs, les projets de Parcs de Poche, restaureront la nature et la joie à la ville, offrant un lieu de détente, des aires de jeux pour les enfants, un petit espace pour les activités, des événements ou des cafés de la rue, où les gens peuvent socialiser, rire et converser ... sous le ciel africain. Une composante de l’éducation implique la mise en place des populations autochtones, des plantes comestibles et médicinales dans les parcs de poche ou Parcs de Veste - espaces urbains verts /aires de jeux à une petite échelle. Ces petites projections de vert pourraient être nichées entre des immeubles, ou dispersées partout / ailleurs, autrement – pourraient même voyager à travers le tissu urbain. Un certain nombre de parcs de poche, à Durban et dans les régions avoisinantes, sont prévus autour du Congrès Mondial UIA2014. Le projet de Parcs de Poche ravive les idées des étudiants pour leur engagement à l’événement.
PROGRAMME POUR ÉTUDIANTS DE L’UIA 2014 DURBAN Le programme pour étudiants a été conceptualisé et mis en place par une équipe dédiée d’étudiants de l’Université du KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) et l’Université de Technologie de Durban (DUT) et vise à mettre en valeur les étudiants du monde entier dans toute leur gloire impulsive, révolutionnaire et potentiellement controversée. Les étudiants auront l’occasion d’exprimer leurs propres opinions sur le sujet des pratiques actuelles et futures de la formation des architectes dans le débat des étudiants. Au-delà des activités académiques, le programme des étudiants s’étend dans la ville ellemême afin de mettre en question les idées d’espaces oubliés et améliorer ces régions et leurs communautés qui ont besoin d’un changement d’idées. Le programme des étudiants de l’UIA cherche à traduire le thème d’Ailleurs, Autrement et les sous-thèmes de la résilience, de l’écologie et des valeurs dans des événements axés sur les étudiants. L’idée est que l’UIA 2014 Durban fournira une plateforme pour une voix nettement distincte des étudiants afin qu’elle soit entendue et notée d’une manière qui puisse influer sur les étudiants en architecture et l’éducation et, partant, sur l’avenir de l’architecture à un niveau très fondamental et passionnant et d’une manière qui met respectueusement au défi ce que nous, les architectes faisons, comment nous le faisons et pourquoi.

UIA 2014 ДУРБАН 2014: ВСТУПЛЕНИЕ «искать где-либо ещё ДРУГИЕ пути создания лучшего будущего» - Лучиано Лаззари, член научного комитета UIA 2014 Дурбан. 25-й всемирный конгресс международного союза архитекторов UIA 2014 Дурбан будет проведён в международном конференц-центре в г. Дурбан с 3 по 7 августа 2014 года. Этот конгресс впервые проводится в Южной Африке: мероприятие посетит 6000 делегатов со всего мира. Международный союз архитекторов (UIA) организует всемирный конгресс каждые три года. В прошлом уже состоялось 24 конгресса UIA. UIA – это негосударственная организация уполномоченная ООН, которая представляет профессиональные ассоциации архитекторов в 124 странах мира и приблизительно 1.3 миллиона архитекторов по всему миру. Секретариат UIA находится в Париже и он является ответственным за управление союзом и его основной деятельностью. Выбор принимающей стороны конгресса осуществляется за шесть лет до его проведения. На конгрессе UIA в Торино в 2008 году Южно-Африканский институт архитекторов (SAIA) выиграл заявку на проведение трёхлетнего всемирного конгресса при поддержке национального департамента общественных работ, всего-лишь девять лет спустя после повторного после-демокрационного возврата SAIA в UIA. Тема конгресса – АРХИТЕКТУРА В ДРУГОМ МЕСТЕ и ее намерением является признание застроения окружающей среды как главной силы, которая может положить начало для улучшения жизни в целом. Для поддержания этой цели почётный архиепископ Десмонд Туту одобрил UIA 2014 и великодушно согласился стать покровителем конгресса. UIA 2014 Дурбан является уникальной и в высшей степени значимой возможностью для Южной Африки для демонстрации развития её застроенной окружающей среды за последние двадцать лет после совершения демократии. На фоне разнообразного и многогранного города UIA 2014 Дурбан приглашает практикующих специалистов, академиков, дизайнеров, студентов, идейных лидеров, активистов, представителей искусства, а также представителей различных специальностей, вовлечённых в строение городов, принять участие в уникальной дискуссионной программе по архитектуре, населённым пунктам и развитие городов. Это событие станет по-настоящему всеохватывающим мероприятием, объединяющим вместе различных участников для исследования того, как архитектура играет ключевую роль в соответствие с социальным и экологическим развитием. Это исследование будет произведено при обсуждении второстепенной темы конгресса – Экология, Устойчивость и Ценности. UIA 2014 станет единственным в своём роде. Проведение конгресса в Южной Африке наполнено глубоким смыслом в данное время развития страны, когда понятие того, что территория страны и её городов нуждаются в более детальном исследование, учитывая ценности которые являются ключевыми в постапартеидное время. Конгресс также имеет особую мировую значимость в то время, когда «бизнес как обычно» подвергается сомнению. АРХИТЕКТУРА В ДРУГОМ МЕСТЕ оценит по достоинству разнообразия, исследуя другие общества, регионы, направления работы, а также другие способы размышления о практике и преподавание архитектуры. Мировые дисуссии об архитектуре постоянно задаются вопросом об исследование и применение альтернативных формам для жизни и жилья. Это также является важным для нашего профессионального диалога и является теми необходимыми вещами, которые мы должны изменить в нашей работе. ГОРОД-ОГАНИЗАТОР ДУРБАН «Невероятный Дурбан и кричащий Дурбан, изменчивый Дурбан и хрупкий Дурбан, приковывающий Дурбан и Дурбан безостановочный. Дурбан, меняющий направление от бедствия к роскоши, исследующий архитектурные творения во всей её глубине и деталях. Какой же будет там архитектура?», - Хилтон Джудин, член научного комитета UIA 2014 Дурбан.

UIA 2014 приглашает профессиональных архитекторов, студентов-архитекторов, а также представителей других профессий и сообществ со всего мира, чтобы оценить по достоинству Дурбан и это неповторимое место в системе глобального мира. Разнообразная и многогранная природа Дурбана определила развитие темы конгресса. Так как Дурбан является живой лабораторией и испытательной площадкой, вопрос В ДРУГОМ МЕСТЕ кажется подходящим в качестве концептуальной основы для конгресса. Контекстуально было бы возможно рассматривать Дурбан как урбанизированный ландшафт, принимающий альтернативы и ДРУГИЕ городские формы. Конкуренция имеет цель исследовать ДРУГИЕ способы взаимодействия с городом, ДРУГИЕ целесообразные подходы к дизайну и ДРУГИЕ виды практики. Таким образом В ДРУГОМ МЕСТЕ подкрепляет идею, что разные образы жизни, веры (религия и культура), общества, различные способы достижения и различные способы [со]вместного населения города или любая форма пересечения, которая может существовать, всё делает вклад в уникальное своеобразие Дурбана. UIA 2014 ДУРБАН. ГЛАВНЫЕ И ВТОРОСТЕПЕННЫЕ ТЕМЫ КОНГРЕССА Другое Мышление/Другие Регионы/Другие практики/Другие направления/Другие общества АРХИТЕКТУРА В ДРУГОМ МЕСТЕ должна быть рассмотрена по многим темам и второстепенным темам в контексте Дурбана и Южной Африки. Динамика Дурбана как города, а именно отлично соединённого города-региона с отличной инфраструктурной завязкой и агентами оперирующими в городе, создали высоко-специфический урбанизованный контекст. Как мы видим конкуренция устанавливает нужду в проекте[ах], чтобы отвечать требованиям тем и второстепенных тем UIA и даже выходить за их рамки, а также отвечать требованиям особой городской динамики, требованиям городских агентов и их агенств, а также вопросам, которые были поставлены партнёрами UIА и их компаньонами. Устойчивость Первая второстепенная тема UIA 2014 – это УСТОЙЧИВОСТЬ, которая должна быть рассмотрена через различные сферы деятельности: ПОЯВЛЕНИЕ, СНИЖЕНИЕ УРОВНЯ БЕДНОСТИ, ТЕРРИТОРИЯ и ГЕОПОЛИТИЧЕСКАЯ ЭКОНОМИКА. Устойчивость определяется тем, как жизненные стратегии были разработаны соообществами, а также как критическое вмешательство делает вклад в снижение уровня бедности. Концепции устойчивости также подчёркивают важную роль правительства и правительственных вложений в переформирование территориальной экономики для всеобщего блага. В то время как некоторые из этих аспектов углубятся в рассмотрение проблем Южной-Африки и возможных для них решений, их важность найдёт своё выражение во всех формах архитектуры и развития деятельности по всему миру. Эта второстепенная тема позволяет междисциплинарные дискуссии по темам создания территориальной трансформации, вместе с понятием того, что инновация существует на поверхности различных дисциплин. Главное внимание здесь будет уделено УСТОЙЧЕВОМУ СТРОИТЕЛЬСТВУ ЖИЛЬЯ: социальные и технические решения в развитие нового видения для осуществления застроения окружающей среды. Экология ЭКОЛОГИЯ включает в себя несколько сфер деятельности в которые входят: ВРЕМЯ, ЭВОЛЮЦИЯ, СИСТЕМЫ, ПРОЦЕССЫ и ЭКОЛОГИЧЕСКИЕ ФАКТОРЫ. Эта второстепенная тема признаёт роль архитектуры в более обширном, связанном и системном комплексе, который поощряет длительную конструктивную концепцию. Рассмотрение четвёртой временной сферы деятельности - ВРЕМЕНИ, как части замысла и процесса принятия решений является очень важным для будущей деятельности архитектуры. Эволюция сама по себе связана с концептом времени, так как она определяет процесс процесс архитектурного производства, который признаёт человеческий фактор и объект. Она имеет своей целью вступить в вновь созданную среду, понимая эту среду как экосистему, требующую тонкого восприятия для того, чтобы помогать поддерживать существующие системы в относительно устойчивом равновесие. Эта второстепенная тема позволит сосредоточиться на УСТОЙЧИВОМ ЭКОЛОГИЧЕСКОМ РАЗВИТИЕ, ЭНЕРГОСБЕРЕГАЮЩЕМ ПЛАНИРОВАНИЕ и ЗЕЛЁНОМ ДОМОСТРОЕНИЕ. Также она позволит сосредоточиться на экологичной архитектуре под условиями перемен и идеями Открытого Строения.

Ценности Ценности - это третья и последняя второстепенная тема. Здесь сферы деятельности включают ДРУГИЕ понятия АРХИТЕКТУРНОЙ ПРАКТИКИ и ОБРАЗОВАНИЯ. UIA 2014 будет исследовать те африканские методы работы, которые относятся к мировым практикам и таким образом рассмотрит особо специфичные проблемы развития, а также рассмотрит традиционные ценности по отношению к нововведениям, установит новое отношение к планете и самое главное установит восприятие уважения через культурные различия и беспристрастность. Помимо этого UIA 2014 намеревается организовать совместную интерактивную образовательную платформу для сообществ и профессионалов. Эта платформа будет предназначена для переоценки профессиональных ценностей, развития методов и способов для профессионального взаимодействия и исследует этику, связанную с работой архитектуры и дизайна. Также будет уделено определённое внимание взаимодействию с ОТСТУПЛЕНИЯМИ ОТ НОРМЫ И СКУДНОСТЬЮ ГОРОДОВ ЧЕРЕЗ РАЗВИТИЕ ОБРАЗОВАНИЯ И ПРАКТИКИ. Это очень важное время для архитектуры в Южной Африке, а также в целом это очень важное время для Южной Африки относительно её городов, просторов и дизайна. Двадцатая годовщина демократии в стране также совпала с тем, что город Кейптаун был назван столицей мирового дизайна, с празднованием двадцатилетия Design Indaba, а также с множеством других мелких и крупных событий, непосредственно связанных с трансформацией Южной Африки. Было начато много плодотворных взаимоотношений в различных программах и проведено много плодотворных бесед между главными городами Южной Африки. Это возможность продемонстрировать архитектурные работы Южной Африки мировому архитектурному сообществу. Мы приглашаем Вас... ПРИВЕТСТВИЕ ПРЕЗИДЕНТА ВСЕМИРНОГО СОЮЗА АРХИТЕКТОРОВ (UIA) Делегаты, партнёры, участники различных программ этого конгресса, а также все те, кто ещё не успел зарегестрироваться, мы приветствуем всех вас в Дурбане! Добро пожаловать на первый конгресс UIA, проходящий на юге Африки. Это второй в истории конгресс, проходящий в южном полушарие и третий на Африканском континенте. Нам всем с нетерпением хочется увидеть и услышать всё то, что будет здесь происходить. В 2008 году в Турине нам было сказано: «Вы думаете, что знаете Африку потому, что вы слышали её музыку и видели её моду, но являясь архитекторами вы должны познать её архитектуру.» Намерения этого конгресса велликолепно передают принцип Архитектуры В Другом Месте. Мы посетим различные конференции, прослушаем програмные речи, поработаем с програмами и комиссиями, прочитаем доклады участников, посетим выставки и не только. Благодаря множеству событий, мероприятий в городе и параллельным проектам, конгресс выйдет за свои стандартные рамки. Это Африка, это В Другом Месте! Все зарегестрированные участники из 90 стран мира внесут свой вклад в Архитектуру в Другом Месте. Познание, сравнение, обсуждение, объяснение и понимание колоссального разнообразия нашей планеты обогатит наши индивидуальные культуры и даст всем нам способности, в которых мы так сильно нуждаемся во избежание мировой безликости. Человеческий род произошёл из Африки.Современное искусство и архитектура берут своё вдохновение в Африке. Этот конгресс является ключом для строительства последующей современности, в которой очень нуждается планета, чтобы пережить происходящие климатические изменения. Джо Ноэро, известный ЮжноАфриканский архитектор однажды сказал: «Запад изобрёл все ныне известные человеческие кризисы; решения прийдут из Африки». Какая невероятная надежда!

Я прошу всех участников этого конгресса проявить своё признание той фантастической работе, которую проделали организаторы в течение этих длительных шести лет, а также всем тем неуверенностям, сомнениям и страхам, которые им пришлось преодолеть для того, чтобы организовать это событие, которое заслуживает того, чтобы мы смогли преобразовать всё это в самый большой успех в истории UIA. Я приглашаю организаторов всех будущих конгрессов почерпать вдохновение от всего происходящего здесь. АЛЬБЕРТ ДУБЛЕР ПРЕЗИДЕНТ UIA ПРИВЕТСТВИЕ ПРЕЗИДЕНТА ЮЖНО-АФРИКАНСКОГО ИНСТИТУТА АРХИТЕКТОРОВ (SAIA) Проведение 25-го всемирного конгресса международного союза архитекторов (UIA) в Дурбане в 2014 году в Южной Африке является значительной исторической вехой для нашей страны и для Африканского континента. Несмотря на печальную потерю в декабре 2013 года нашей иконы и сына нашей Земли президента Нельсона Манделы, которому мы отдаём дань уважения, в апреле этого года наша страна отмечала двадцатилетнюю годовщину тяжело завоёванной демократии. Для нас, народа Африки, это событие также отмечает поддержку народов мира и мы наконец-то приблизились к тому времени, когда Африку стали ставить в ряд с другими великими нациями мира, этот жест пришёл с опозданием , но был принят обеими руками и с огромной смиренностью. Приход мирового сообщества на Африканский континент, а в особенности в порт Дурбана несомненно предоставит нашему архитекторскому обществу возможности поучавствовать в активных и наводящих на размышления диалогах с другими профессионалами и сообществами, работающими по застроению окружающей среды. Многие докладчики раскроют это во второстепенных темах Устойчивость; Экология; Ценности. Я нисколько не сомневаюсь, что эти диалоги и дебаты предоставят нам основы для создания на которых мы сможем оценить равномерность распределения и функциональное состояние наших Африканских городов, так как мы вступаем в процесс пересмотрения будущего наших поселений. Я считаю, что этот конгресс поможет нашим профессионалам по застроению окружающей среды, а также работникам и академикам оттолкнуться от их пространственных и метафорических идей и сравнить их с проверенным действиям, опробованным миром, в попытке переосмыслить города, унаследованные Африкой. К сожалению архитекторы создали города империализма и апартеида и теперь эти города и поселения могут быть успешно «изменены» лишь только при помощи архитектурного вмешательства. По этой причине были созваны международные профессионалы и академики и мы очень высоко ценим их поддержку. Южно-Африканский институт архитекторов обязуется перед народом этой страны, что после проведения этого конгресса вытечет длительное наследие, которое даст прямое доверие к трансформации нашей профессии и к стратегическому развитию целей нашей страны. Я искренне верю, что благодаря вашему интеллектуальному вовлечению, мы не потерпим поражения в этом начинание. Пусть все члены исполнительного комитета UIA, делегаты конгресса, студенты, посетители и друзья почерпнут многоие из дискуссий этого конгресса и получать удовольствие от их визита в Дурбан, Южную Африку. СИНДИЛЕ НГОНЯМА ПРЕЗИДЕНТ ЮЖНО АФРИКАНСКОГО ИНСТИТУТА АРХИТЕКТОРОВ (SAIA) ПРИВЕТСТВИЕ ПРЕЗИДЕНТА МЕЖДУНАРОДНОГО ОРГАНИЗАЦИОННОГО КОМИТЕТА Любая мировая конференция, проводящаяся в Южной Африке в 2014 году является особенной. Мы отмечаем двадцатилетие нашей демократии и здесь мы проследим всё то, что произошло за последние двадцать лет. Территориальное наследие, оставленное апартеидом, является самой большой трудностью, которую нам следует преодолеть. Бывший министр финансов Правина Гордхан отметил: «Самая большая трудность для национального плана развития состоит в том, как мы интегрируем наши города...». Многие считают, что профессия архитектора в этой стране не была на высоте положения, при решение проблем, с которыми столкнулась развивающаяся страна в этот постапартеидный период.
143
UIA2014 DURBAN Architecture OTHERWHERE
В добавление к этим национальным трудностям есть и те трудности, с которыми столкнулся весь мир. Климатические изменения, рост населения, мировой финансовый кризис, ВИЧ, увеличение войн и снижение моральных ценностей. Это время критического размышления и действий. Архитекторы совместно с другими активистами, мыслителями, а также с другими профессионалами по застроению окружающей среды должны внести свой вклад в решение проблем. Дурбан 2014 предоставляет катализатор для выведения этой дискуссии на первый план. Тема «Архитектура в Другом Месте» рассматривает и предоставляет чистый анализ для участников конгресса, чтобы рассмотреть старые и новые пути практической и теоретической работы и таким образом предлагает и развивает новые и/или креативные в которых мы можем улучшить профессию. Беседа уже началась и она будет продолжаться и после окончания конгресса. У нас есть возможность дать огромный толчок для достижения действий благодаря этому конгрессу. Мы верим, что собрание научных работ, специальных лекций, семинаров и выставок подтолкнёт вас на внесение вклада и таким образом повысит голос и роль архитектуры , для того, чтобы ей стать более эффективной при решение проблем, с которыми сталкивается эта страна и весь мир. Эта сила затрагивает отдельные жизни людей в большинстве не развитых стран, а также тех, кто принимает решения и чьи действия влияют на жизни миллионов людей. А теперь мы переходим к конгрессу В ДРУГОМ МЕСТЕ, который принесёт самые наилучшие результаты! ХАССАН АСМАЛ ПРЕЗИДЕНТ МЕЖДУНАРОДНОГО ОРГАНИЗАЦИОННОГО КОМИТЕТА UIA 2014 ДУРБАН ЗНАКОМСТВО С ОФИЦИАЛЬНОЙ ПРОГРАММОЙ КОНГРЕССА UIA 2014 ДУРБАН Эта программа должна быть прочитана совместно со справочником UIA 2014 ДУРБАН, а также с руководством В ДРУГОМ МЕСТЕ UIA 2014 ДУРБАН и руководством для участников выставки UIA 2014 ДУРБАН. Место проведения конгресса – международный конференц-центр имени Инкози Альберта Луфули (Inkosi Albert Luthuli International Convention Center (ICC)) в Дурбане, с его 38 помещениями. Этот конференц-центр включает в себя: выставочный центр Дурбана (Durban Exhibition Center (DEC)) и дорогу Волнат роуд (Walnut road), которая отделяет его от конференц-центра; дорога будет закрыта во время мероприятия. Walnut road будет «занята» студентами, а также на ней будут проходить различные программы. Там также будет размещена Mussallah – место для молитвы для делегатовмусульман, а также там будут присутствовать торговцы из Warwick. Также на этом месте будут проходить другие различные мероприятия. Пожалуйста загляните в конец программы для того, чтобы найти основную важную информацию для делегатов. Программа конгресса UIA 2014 Дурбан включает в себя более 270 сессий, которые попадают под следующие категории: основная программа, программа для студентов и мероприятия, параллельные тренинги и презентации, параллельные академические сессии, культурные и общественные мероприятия и специальные встречи. Эти категории доступны в онлайн программе. Делегаты могут пользоваться имеющимися поисковыми фильтрами для поиска события по категории, месту проведения или имени докладчика. ПАРАЛЛЕЛЬНЫЕ ПРОЕКТЫ UIA 2014 ДУРБАН Под руководством директора культурного развития UIA 2014 Дурбан Шеннона Моффета и при помощи предусмотренных проектов, UIA 2014 Дурбан представит делегатам и общественности обширную программу, которая продолжит беседы о проблемах застроенной окружающей среды

UIA2014 DURBAN Architecture OTHERWHERE
и о том, что же делает Дурбан городом «В Другом Месте». Разнообразная и обширная программа смоделирована для презентации местных, национальных и международных талантов, а также некоторых городских мест и «Других Мест», включая пляжи, галереи, центральный деловой район (CBD) и Warwick Junction. Эти проекты включают туры «в другое место», стенную живопись и инсталяции, архитектурные и другие выставки, живые мероприятия и многое другое. Некоторые из этих проектов будут действовать только во время конгресса, в то время как другие будут работать ещё несколько месяцев. Ожидается, что некоторые из проектов окажут своё влияние на город и его жителей ещё в течение долгого времени. Информация по этим проектам доступна на нашем веб сайте. Во время регестрации делегатам будет предоставлена дополнительная информация по этим захватывающим проектам. ПРОЕКТЫ ТЕРРИТОРИАЛЬНОГО НАСЛЕДИЯ UIA ДУРБАН 2014 Различные организации, включая департамент архитектуры города, собираются вместе на период конгресса для того, чтобы создать проекты, которые принесут жизнь и энергию назад в центральную часть города и покажут то, что возможно. Прочное наследие для Дурбана находится в установление механизмов, которые вновь укрепляют и приспосабливают ресурсы в центральной части города. Нина Саундерс является координатором проекта по проектам территориального наследия, координатором местного самоуправления для организационного комитета UIA 2014 и менеджером программы для городских архитекторов. Три основных проекта: Dr Pixley Ka Seme Linear Park Новая волна архитектурного возрождения будет задействована через этот проект, переосмысливая восприятие внутренней части города как экономического, социального и культурного центра и подчёркивая его ценность через его разнообразие. Городская команда по возобновлению внутренней части города активизирует первый шаг перспективного видения для пешеходной приоритетной зоны вдоль улицы Dr Pixely ka Seme Street своевременно для конгресса. Выставка покажет проект в деталях и обрисует план для 400-метровой дороги в центре Дурбана, озеленённой и перепланированной. Также она представит проект на всеобщее обозрение и покажет то, что возможно сделать для создания высоко-качественного общественного места для горожан. Rivertown Rivertown – это бывшая небольшая промышленная часть Дурбана. Граница Rivertown прилегает к востоку CBD. Канал, который в настоящее время огорожен, пересекает этот район, и вода из районов, которые ранее были заболочены в центре города, стекает в канал и течёт в гавань Cato Creek. Ныне заброшенная зона предоставляет возможность для восстановления, чтобы вновь привлечь интерес к СBD Дурбана. Мероприятия в области искусства и культуры, а также выставки будут проводиться во время конгресса, чтобы показать возможности, которые существуют для возврата устойчивости и динамичности назад в этот район. Рабочие программы UIA по наследию и ответственной архитектуре запустили студенческое соревнование, которое призывает предложения по городскому дизайну для реставрации территории. Pocket Parks (Сквер) Совместно с темами Экология, Устойчивость, Ценности, проект Pocket Parks вновь вернёт в город природу и наслаждение, предоставляя место для отдыха, игровые зоны для детей, небольшое место для каких-либо мероприятий, событий или уличных кафе, где люди смогут общаться, делиться радостью и наслаждаться беседой...под Африканским небом. Образовательная составляющая включает представление местных съедобных и лекарственных растений в скверах – городские озеленённые площадки малогабаритных размеров. Эти небольшие красочные пятна зелени могут быть припрятаны между зданиями или разбросаны где угодно/в другом месте и даже проходить через городские застройки. Во время всемирного конгресса UIA 2014 будет запланировано возведение большого колличества скверов в Дурбане и его окрестностях.

СТУДЕНЧЕСКАЯ ПРОГРАММА UIA 2014 ДУРБАН Студенческая программа была сформирована и составлена профильной командой студентов из университета Квазулу Наталь (University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN)) и технологического университета Дурбана (Durban University of Technology (DUT)) и имеет своим намерением показать студентов со всего мира во всей их импульсивности, принципиальности и потенциально небесспорном великолепие. Студентам предоставят возможность высказать их личные мнения на предмет нынешней и будущей практики архитектурного образования. Помимо образовательных событий, студенческая программа переместится в сам город, чтобы опробовать идеи заброшенных мест и возродить те районы и сообщества, которые нуждаются в переменах. Студенческая программа UIA планирует перенести тему В Другом Месте и второстепенные темы Устойчивость, Экология, Ценности в самое сердце студенческих мероприятий. Главное намерение заключается в том, что UIA 2014 Дурбан предоставит платформу для того, чтобы выразительный студенческий голос был услышан и отмечен таким образом, чтобы это повлияло на студентовархитекторов и на образование, а соответственно и на будущее архитектуры на самом основном и волнующем уровне и соответственно на самих архитекторов и на то, что они делают и как они это делают. ПРОГРАММА ПАРТНЁРОВ UIA Дурбан 2014 Намерения программы партнёров UIA 2014 Дурбан заключаются в том, чтобы расширить границы конгресса UIA 2014 и использовать это событие в качестве платформы для будущих бесед по темам конгресса и соответствующим проблемам по застроенной окружающей среде. Эти партнёрские отношения были начаты с особым вниманием к усовершенствованию и поддержке академических аспектов конгресса, включая научную программу и работу. Эти партнёрские отношения были запланированы так, чтобы стать одним целым с главной научной программой UIA 2014. Совместная деятельность между событием и программой партнёров является важной для развития программы конгресса и содержания. Международный Совет по Исследованиям и Инновациям в Области Строительства и Конструирования (CIB). CIB (http://www.cibworld.nl) был основан в 1953 году. Его миссией является облегчение международного сотрудничества с целью строительства, его исследований и инноваций. CIB объединяет сообщество, в которое входит более 5000 экспертов из 500 организаций-членов в 70 странах мира. CIB включает в себя самые крупные лаборатории и ведущие университеты по строительтву и конструированию. Две рабочие группы CIB являются партнёрами программы UIA 2014.

Esta es la primera vez que este congreso toma lugar en el cono sur de Africa y 6000 delegados del mundo entero estarán asistiendo.. La Unión Internacional de Arquitectos (UIA) organiza un Congreso Mundial cada tres años, y han habido 24 congresos previos de UIA. La UIA es una organización no-gubernamental que está acreditada por las Naciones Unidas, y la cual representa a asociaciones profesionales de arquitectos en 124 países, y cuenta con aproximadamente 1,3 millones de arquitectos en el mundo entero. La secretaria de UIA está ubicada en Paris y es responsable por la gerencia de la unión y la administración general. La selección de la ciudad anfitriona del Congreso se hace seis años por adelantado. Durante el Congreso de Torino, la UIA de 2008, el Instituto Sudafricano de Arquitectos (SAIA) gano la candidatura para organizar este trienal Congreso Mundial teniendo el apoyo del Departamento Nacional de Obras Publicas, apenas nueve años luego de la post democracia, que SAIA fue readmitido a la UIA. El tema del Congreso es ARQUITECTURA OTHERWHERE [en otros sitios], y tener la intención para reconocer el entorno construido como una fuerza mayor que se puede aprovechar para brindar una mejor vida para todos. En apoyo de esta meta, el Arzobispo Emeritus Desmond Tutu ha avalado a UIA 2014 y también ha generosamente aceptado ser un patrón del Congreso. UIA 2014 Durban ofrece una única y altamente relevante oportunidad para que Sudáfrica pueda demostrar el desarrollo de su construcción que ha tomado lugar en los 20 años desde la venida de la democracia.

UIA2014 DURBAN Architecture OTHERWHERE
Contra el telón de una diversa y con capas múltiples, la UIA 2014 Durban, tiene el agrado de invitar a practicantes, académicos, diseñadores, estudiantes, líderes de opinión, activistas, artistas y comunidades de todas las disciplinas que están involucradas en formar una ciudad y que puedan contribuir a un único debate sobre la arquitectura, asientos humanos y la evolución de las ciudades. La intención de este evento es para incluir a todos los diferentes jugadores fundamentales para explorar como la arquitectura juega un papel fundamental para abordar del desarrollo social y ambiental a través de los subtemas del Congreso tal como Ecología, Resiliencia y Valores. La UIA será única. La celebración del congreso en Sudáfrica tiene mucho significado en el desarrollo del país cuando la realización de realidades espaciales del país y sus ciudades deben ser estrechamente interrogadas a la luz de los valores que son fundamentales en la era de la post-Apartheid. El congreso también tendrá relevancia significante en forma a nivel mundial en un momento cuando se cuestiona “el trabajo de costumbre”. ARQUITECTURA OTHERWHERE estará celebrando la diversidad al explorar otras comunidades, otras regiones, otras disciplinas y todas las otras maneras de pensar sobre la práctica y la enseñanza de arquitectura. Globalmente, la arquitectura se encuentra continuamente desafiada con la cuestión de investigación y aprovechamiento de los modos de vida y alternativos formas de vivienda – y que es también fundamental para nuestro dialogo profesional, esto quiere decir que estamos buscando momentos de reparación como formas de espacio alternativo.

DURBAN COMO CIUDAD ANFITRIONA “Durban imposible junto a Durban-en-su-cara, Durban dada vuelta con la fragilidad de Durban, Durban arrestada tanto como Durban sin parar. Durban virando entre la catástrofe y la opulencia, el examen de creaciones y componentes de gran cantidad de arquitectura, escala e intensidades. Cuál es la arquitectura que va a haber allí?” Hilton Judin, UIA 204Durban, Miembro del Comité Cientifico. La UIA 2014 está invitando a arquitectos, estudiantes de arquitectura, otros profesionales y comunidades del mundo entero para celebrar a Durban y su lugar tan singular en el sistema mundial del globo. La diversidad y la naturaleza de la multitud de sus capas a guiado el desarrollo de los temas del Congreso. Si vemos a Durban como un laboratorio viviente y un campo de pruebas, la cuestión de OTHERWHERE (en otros sitios) parece ser pertinente como base conceptual para el congreso. Se podría pensar de Durban como un paisaje urbanizado, aceptando alternativas y OTROS modos urbanos. La competencia, por lo tanto, tiene el objetivo de explorar otras formas de compromiso con la ciudad, otro diseño viable y OTROS modos de práctica. De esta manera OTHERWARE (otros sitios) refuerza la idea que diferentes estilos, creencias (religiosas y culturales), comunidades, diferentes formas de convivencia en la ciudad o cualquier forma que pueda existir, todo lo cual contribuye a la identidad única de Durban. UIA 2014 DURBAN TEMA Y SUB TEMAS DEL CONGRESO Otras maneras de pensar / Otras prácticas / Otras disciplinas / Otras comunidades la ARQUITECTURA OTHERWHERE (otros sitios) debe de ser explorada dentro de un numero de temas y subtemas dentro del contexto de Durban, Sudáfrica. Las dinámicas de Durban, como ciudad, como una ciudad-región que está bien conectada con nódulos significantes de infraestructura, así también como agentes que operan dentro y a través de la ciudad, ha creado un alto contexto urbano. La competencia por lo tanto, tiene como objetivo explorar otras forma de compromiso con la ciudad, otro diseño viable, y otro modo de práctica, agentes urbanos y su agencia específica y los asuntos expresados por los socios y colaboradores de la UIA. Resiliencia El primer sub tema de UIA 2014 es resiliencia, que será explorado a través de algunas aéreas de enfoque: APARICION, ALIVIO DE POBREZA, ESPACIAL y ECONOMIAS GEO POLITICAS. Se define a resiliencia como estrategias de la vida que han sido desarrolladas así como también como intervenciones críticas que contribuyen al alivio de la pobreza. Conceptos de resiliencia también enfatizan la importancia del papel del gobierno y la inversión del gobierno hacia la re configuración de la economía espacial para que esto beneficie a todos. Aunque algunos de estos aspectos profundizaran a los problemas y soluciones de Sudáfrica, su significancia encontrara voz dentro de todas las formas de arquitectura y el desarrollo práctico en forma global. Este subtema permite debates inter disciplinarios en los roles del espacio y los encargados del lugar dentro de la transforme espacial, con un entendimiento que la innovación existe en la interface de diferentes disciplinas. Un área de enfoque específico será de ASIENTOS HUMANOS SOSTENIBLES: Consideraciones sociales y técnicas del desarrollo de nuevas visiones para la practica en ambiente de la construcción. Ecología Ecología abarca un número de áreas de enfoque, lo que incluye: TIEMPO, EVOLUCION, SISTEMAS, PROCESSOS y CUESTIONES AMBIENTALES. Este subtema reconoce el papel del arquitecto en una red interconectada y grande sistemática – fomentando así una perspectiva de diseño a largo plazo. La consideración del cuarto – temporal – dimensión de TIEMPO como una parte integrante del diseño y el proceso de tomar decisiones es crucial para la futura práctica de la arquitectura. La evolución esta intrínsecamente vinculado con el concepto de tiempo ya que toma en cuenta procesos de la producción de arquitectura que reconoce gente y lugares - y su objetivo es intervenir en el medio ambiente construido comprendiendo que el medio ambiente construido
160
UIA2014 DURBAN Architecture OTHERWHERE
es un ecosistema que requiere sensibilidad para ayudar mantener los sistemas existentes en los estados relativos del equilibrio. Este subtema permitirá un enfoque sobre SOSTENIBILIDAD, el DISEÑO DE EFICIENCIA DE ENERGIA y EDIFICIO VERDE. Esto también permite un enfoque sobre la sostenibilidad de la estructura bajo condiciones de cambio y conceptos de un Edificio Abierto. Valores Los VALORES son el tercero y subtema final. Aquí, las áreas de enfoque incluyen OTRAS nociones de la PRACTICA DE ARQUITECTURA y EDUCATION. UIA2014 explorara practicas Africanas, las cuales se relacionan a prácticas globales, como una forma de abordar problemas de desarrollo que son altamente específicos, cuestiona lo tradicional en relación a valores novel, establecerá nuevas relaciones en un planeta viviente, y, muy importante, establecerá un sentido de respeto a través de diversidad y humildad. En adición, la UIA 2014 pretende organizar plataformas interactivas de colaboración para comunidades y profesionales. Estas plataformas significan que los valores profesionales serán reevaluados, métodos deberán de ser desarrollados al igual que técnicas para compromisos profesionales, e interrogar las éticas asociadas con arquitectura y la práctica del diseño. También habrá un foco en particular para centrarse en la colaboración con INFORMALIDAD Y POBREZA URBANA A TRAVES DEL DISEÑO EDUCATIVO Y PRACTICA. Este es un momento muy emocionante para la profesión de Arquitectura Sudafricana, y esto es, en general, un tiempo especial para Sudáfrica en términos de ciudades, espacio y diseño. Este es el 20o año de la democracia y es también el año de la Capital de Diseño de Ciudad del Cabo, una celebración de 20 años de la Indaba de Diseño y otros numerosos grandes y pequeños eventos que buscan una transformación espacial de las sinergias en Sudáfrica que están siendo descubiertas entre los diferentes programas – y importantes conversaciones están siendo iniciadas entre las ciudades más importantes de Sudáfrica. Esta es una oportunidad para mostrar la práctica de la arquitectura sudafricana a la comunidad global de arquitectura. Le extendemos la invitación a usted… LA BIENVENIDA POR PARTE DEL PRESIDENTE DE LA UNION INTERNACIONAL DE ARQUITECTURA (UIA) A los delegados, socios, participantes en los diferentes programas de este congreso y a todos que todavía no se han registrado, Bienvenidos a Durban! Extendemos aquí la bienvenida al primer congreso UIA en Africa al sur de Sahara, el segundo en la historia que tomara lugar en hemisferio sur, el tercero en el continente Africano. Estamos todos excitados por lo que ustedes van a ver, escuchar y sentir aquí. En Torino en 2008, nos dijeron que “todos conocían a Africa debido a la música que han escuchado, sus modas, pero que como arquitectos ustedes deben de experimentar a su arquitectura”. La agenda de este congreso bellamente transmite el principio de la Arquitectura Otherwhere (otros sitios). Vamos a tomar parte de varias conferencias, escucharemos interesantes discursos, programas de trabajo y Comisiones; leeremos también a informes de secciones de los miembros, y ver exposiciones, pero esto no será todo. Gracias a la gama de los diferentes eventos, actividades de ciudad y proyectos paralelos, el congreso se extenderá más allá del centro del congreso. Esto es Africa, esto es Otherhow (Otra Forma)! Todos los participantes del Otherwhere (Otros sitios), desde los 90 países de todas partes del mundo que ya se han registrado, contribuirán a la Arquitectura Otherwhere (Otros sitios).

UIA2014 DURBAN Architecture OTHERWHERE
Experimentaran, compraran, discutirán, explicaran y comprenderán la enorme diversidad de nuestro planeta que puede enriquecer a todas las culturas individuales y darnos a todos las habilidades que tanto necesitamos para escapar de la banalidad global. La humanidad tuvo sus orígenes en Africa. El arte moderno y la arquitectura fueron inspirados por Africa. Este Congreso es la llave para construir el próximo modernismo que este planeta tan urgentemente necesita para sobrevivir el cambio climático. Joe Noero, el famoso arquitecto sudafricano menciono en una oportunidad que “el mundo occidental ha inventado todas las crisis que la humanidad debe de enfrentar en el día de hoy; las soluciones emanaran de Africa”. Que esperanza tan extraordinaria! Yo extiendo la invitación a todos los delegados a este congreso para que reconozcan el trabajo fantástico que los organizadores han hecho en un periodo de seis largos años, y todas las incertidumbres, dudas, y miedos que tuvieron que enfrentar para que este evento pudiera ser llevado al cabo, el cual merece que nosotros lo transformemos en el mayor suceso que la UIA haya tenido en su historia. Invito también a todos los organizadores de futuros congresos que vengan y que consigan su inspiración de todo lo que está tomando lugar aquí. ALBERT DUBLER PRESIDENTE DE LA UIA LA BIENVENIDA POR PARTE DEL PRESIDENTE DEL INSTITUO SUDAFRICANO DE ARQUITECTOS (SAIA) La celebración de la vigésima quinta Unión de Arquitectos Internacionales (UIA) Congreso Mundial Durban 2014 en Sudáfrica es un significante hito histórico para nuestro país y para el continente de Africa. En Abril de este año, nuestro país celebro veinte años de nuestra democracia que fue tan duramente ganada a pesar de la perdida en Diciembre de 2013 de nuestro icono e hijo de nuestra tierra, el Presidente Nelson Mandela, a quien le hacemos homenaje. Para nosotros, la gente de Africa, este evento marca otro endoso de humildad por las naciones del mundo, que finalmente estamos entendiendo que Africa puede ser contada como una de las grandes naciones del mundo, ha llegado, un gesto que hemos esperado por mucho tiempo y que ha sido aceptado con las dos manos y con gran humildad. La llegada de la comunidad mundial al continente de Africa y especialmente al puerto de Durban, tendremos la oportunidad de dar a la fraternidad arquitectónica oportunidades para tomar parte de diálogos con otros profesionales y comunidades del extranjero, ya que diferentes oradores estarán desempacando estos durante los subtemas de la Resiliencia; Ecología y Valores. No tengo ninguna duda que estos diálogos y debates nos proporcionaran las plantillas sobre las cuales podremos calibrar la equidad y la funcionalidad de nuestras ciudades de nuestras ciudades africanas tal como nosotros embarcamos en un proceso de re-imaginar nuestros futuros asentamientos humanos. Mi considerada opinión es que este congreso ayudara a profesionales del ambiente de la construcción; practicantes y académicos para rebotar sus ideas espaciales y metafóricas ideas en contra de aquellas que el mundo a tratado y probado, en un esfuerzo de re imaginar las ciudades que Africa ha heredado. Lamentablemente, los arquitectos crearon en las épocas del imperialismo y el apartheid ciudades que fueron creadas por arquitectos y esto puede ser “deshecho” a través de la intervención arquitectónica. Es en este sentido que la participación de profesionales y académicos internacionales es buscada y que es altamente apreciada. El Instituto Sudafricano de Arquitectos ha hecho un compromiso con el pueblo de este país, que de este congreso fluirá un legado duradero que va a dar crédito en forma directa a la transformación de nuestra profesión y para los objetivos del desarrollo estratégico de nuestro país. Es mi sincera creencia que con su compromiso intelectual que no vamos a dejar de entregar el compromiso que tenemos con nuestro país. Que todos los miembros ejecutivos de la UIA, los delegados del congreso, estudiantes, visitante y amigos que enriquecerán al congreso con sus deliberaciones y podrán disfrutar de su estancia en Durban, Sudáfrica.

SINDILENGONYAMA PRESIDENTE DEL INSTITUTO SUDAFRICANO DE ARQUITECTOS (SAIA) UNA BIENVENIDA DEL PRESIDENTE DEL COMITÉ ORGANIZADOR NACIONAL Cualquier conferencia mundial que toma lugar en Sudáfrica en 2014 es especial. Estamos celebrando 20 años de nuestra democracia y con esto llega la reflexión usual de lo que hemos hecho en estos 20 años. El legado espacial que fue dejado por el planeamiento del apartheid ha sido uno de los desafíos más difíciles que fueron superados y esto ha dado pie al ex Ministro de Finanzas, el señor Pravin Gordhan para decir que “… el desafío mas importante del Plan de Desarrollo Nacional y como integramos a nuestras ciudades….” Hay una opinión que muchos de los profesionales arquitectos en nuestro país no han surgido a la ocasión de abordar los desafíos que enfrenta un país en desarrollo tal como es el nuestro, dado el contexto de las actividades que hay en una era post-Apartheid. Sumados a las complejidades nacionales hay muchos desafíos que enfrentan al mundo entero. El cambio climático, el crecimiento de la población, la crisis financiera mundial, SIDA, la escalada de guerras y la declinación de morales y valores. Este es un tiempo para una acción crítica de reflexión. Arquitectos junto con otros (activistas, pensadores, expositores profesionales en el entorno de la construcción) necesitan hacer una contribución. Durban 2014 provee un catalizador para llevar la discusión adelante. El tema de “Arquitectura Otherwhere” (Otros sitios) es deliberado y provee un lienzo limpio para los participantes en el Congreso a fin de estudiar viejas y nuevas maneras en la práctica y la academia y, en realizar esto, se propone y desarrollan nuevas y/o maneras creativas para que nosotros podamos avanzar en nuestra profesión. La conversación ha comenzado y continuaremos haciéndolo una vez que finaliza el Congreso. Tenemos una oportunidad de darle un gran impulso a través del vehículo de este Congreso. Confiamos que la compilación de trabajos, conferencias especiales, talleres y exposiciones le animaran a hacer un contribución – y al hacerlo, desarrollar la voz y el papel de arquitectura para ser más eficaces en el tratamiento de los desafíos que enfrenta este país y el resto del mundo; una eficacia que puede tocar a la persona en el país más subdesarrollado, así como aquellos que toman las decisiones cuyas acciones impactan en la vida de millones de personas. Esperamos que este congreso de OTHERWHERE (Otros Sitios) sea sumamente exitoso! HASSAN ASMAL PRESIDENTE DEL COMITÉ ORGANIZADOR DE UIA 2014-07-04 UNA INTRODUCCION A LA UIA 2014 DEL PROGRAMA OFICIAL DEL CONGRESO Este Programa debe de ser leído conjuntamente con el Libro Abstracto de la UIA 2014 Durban, la guía de OTHERWHERE y la guía de Expositores de la UIA 2014 Durban. La Sede del Congreso será en el Centro Internacional de Convenciones Inkosi Albert Luthuli (ICC) en Durban en 38 lugares. The complejo del Centro de Convenciones incluye el Centro de Exhibicion de Durban (DEC) y la Calle Walnut la separa del mismo del ICC y la cual estará cerrada durante la duración del congreso. La Calle Walnut estara “ocupada” por estudiantes y otros programa. Tambien habrá un espacio para Mussallah (espacio para oración) que será para los delegados musulmanes al igual que otros comerciantes de Warwick. Muchas actividades paralelas también estarán disponibles en este lugar. Sírvase fijarse al final del Libro del Programa para encontrar información básica e importante para los delegados.

El Programa del Congreso UIA 2014 Durban contiene más de 270 sesiones que están categorizadas como se detalla a continuación: Programa Principal, Programa y Actividades de los Estudiantes, Taller Paralelo, Reuniones y Presentaciones Paralela, Secciones Académicas Paralelas, Actividades Culturales y Sociales y Reuniones Especiales. Estas categorías están disponibles en el modulo del programa que está en línea. Los delegados pueden hacer uso de la disponibilidad de filtros para investigar los eventos por categoría o la sede o el nombre del orador. PROYECTOS PARALELOS DE UIA 2014 DURBAN Bajo la dirección del Gerente Cultural de UIA 2014 Durban, Shannon Moffet, y a través de una convocatoria para proyectos, UIA 2014 Durban presentara a delegados y al publico general con un programa paralelo que permitirá que hayan conversaciones sobre el medio ambiente de construcción y lo que hace a Durban una ciudad “otherwhere” (otros sitios). Este programa paralelo está diseñado para presentar talento local, nacional e internacional, así como también una gama de “otherwhere” (otros sitios) y otros espacios de la ciudad, incluyendo el frente de la playa, galerías, el centro y Warwick Junction. Estos proyectos incluyen excursiones, murales y instalaciones de arte, arquitectural y otras exposiciones, activaciones en vivo y mucho mas. Algunos de estos proyectos estarán abiertos solamente durante el congreso, mientras que otros estarán abiertos por muchos meses. Algunos de los proyectos, sin embargo, se espera que tengan un legado a largo plazo que impactara a la ciudad y sus residentes. Se puede obtener información sobre estos proyectos a través de la página web, y se dará a los delegados más información sobre estos proyectos durante el registro. PROYECTOS ESPACIALES EN LA UIA 2014 DURBAN Un número de entidades, las cuales incluyen al Departamento de Arquitectura de la ciudad, se unirán durante el periodo del Congreso para crear proyectos que darán vida y energía al interior de la ciudad y mostrar todo lo que es posible. Un legado duradero para Durban reside en instituir mecanismos que re envigorizarán y darán propósito al interior de la ciudad. La Coordinadora del Proyecto para Legados Espaciales, tanto como un Enlace del Gobierno Local para el Comité Organizador de la UIA 2014 y como el Gerente del Programa de Arquitectos de la Ciudad, es Nina Saunders. Tres proyectos importantes son: DrPixleyKaSeme Linear Park (Parque Lineal) Una nueva ola de la renovación de la arquitectura será inspirada a través de este proyecto al redefinir la percepción del interior de la ciudad como un centro de economía, social y cultural y enfatizar su valor a través de su diversidad. El Equipo de Renovación del interior de la ciudad activara el Primer Paso de la visión del proyecto para una zona de prioridad para la persona pedestre en la DrPixelykaSeme antes del comienzo del Congreso. Habrá una exposición que detallará el proyecto y delineara los planos para un tramo de 400 metros del interior de la ciudad de Durban que se convertirá en una sección verde y el re propósito presentara lo que es posible con la creación de un espacio público de alta calidad para la gente que vive y trabaja en la Ciudad en donde se podrán relajar, ejercitar y jugar. Rivertown Rivertown era anteriormente la zona industrial, el precinto de Rivertown yace al este del centro de Durban. Un canal, que está cerrado en la actualidad, atraviesa esta zona y agua de otras zonas que eran en el pasado eran humedales en el centro de la ciudad, desemboca en el canal y esta dispersado en el puerto en Cato Creek. La zona que está actualmente abandonada proporciona una oportunidad para que haya una regeneración, para atraer interés nuevamente en el centro de Durban. Iniciativas de arte y cultura y exposiciones operaran durante el Congreso para mostrar las oportunidades que existen para traer sostenibilidad y vitalidad a la zona. El Patrimonio de UIA y el Programa de Trabajo de Arquitectura Responsable ha puesto en marcha una competencia estudiantil para hacer propuestas de diseño urbano a fin de rejuvenecer el precinto.

Pocket Parks (Parques de Bolsillo) La vinculación de los temas de Ecología, Resiliencia y Valores, los Proyectos de Pocket Park, atraerán a la naturaleza y el placer a la ciudad, proporcionara un lugar en donde es posible relajarse, en donde los niños pueden jugar, un pequeño espacio para hacer actividades, eventos o cafés al aire libre, en donde la gente puede sociabilizar, compartir la risa y conversar ….. bajo el cielo Africano. Un componente educacional involucra la introducción de plantas Indígenas, Comestibles y Medicinales en Parques de Bolsillo - lugares urbanos verdes y espacios en una pequeña escala en donde los niños pueden jugar.. Pequeñas salpicaduras de verde pueden ser colocados entre edificios, o dispersos en cualquier lugar/otros sitios – incluso en el tejido urbano. Un numero de parques de bolsillo, en Durban y zonas en el alrededor, están siendo planificadas para el Congreso Mundial UIA2014. El proyecto de Parques de Bolsillo está siendo estudiado por estudiantes que tomaran parte de este evento. UIA 2014 DURBAN PROGRAMA DEL ESTUDIANTE El programa del estudiante ha sido conceptualizado y armado por un dedicado equipo de estudiantes de la Universidad de KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) y la Universidad de Tecnología de Durban (DUT) y tiene como objetivo mostrar a los estudiantes de todo el mundo en toda su impulsividad, revolucionaria y gloria potencialmente controversial. Los estudiantes tendrán la oportunidad de dar sus opiniones sobre el tema de practicas actuales y futuras sobre la educación de arquitectura en un debate estudiantil. Más allá de los eventos académicos, el programa de los estudiantes se extiende a la misma ciudad con el fin de desafiar ideas de espacios olvidados y elevar esas áreas y sus comunidades lo que cambiara la manera de pensar. El Programa de estudiantes de UIA mira traducir el tema de Otherwhere (Otros sitios) y los subtemas de la resiliencia, la ecología y los valores en eventos centrados en los estudiantes. La intención es que la UIA 2014 Durban será una plataforma para una voz del estudiante para ser escuchado claramente y tomando nota de una manera que puede afectar a los estudiantes y la educación de arquitectura y por lo tanto, el futuro de la arquitectura a un nivel muy fundamental y emocionante, y de una manera que desafía respetuosamente lo que nosotros como arquitectos hacemos, como lo hacemos y la razón por la cual lo hacemos. UIA 2014 DURBAN SOCIOS DEL PROGRAMA La intención de los Socios del Programa de UIA 2014 es the expandir el alcance del Congreso UIA 2014 y usar este evento como una plataforma para continuar la conversación sobre los temas del Congreso y temas de la construcción del medio ambiente. Estas asociaciones han iniciado conversaciones con un enfoque particular en mejorar y apoyar los aspectos académicos del Congreso, incluyendo el programa científico y los procedimientos. Estas asociaciones han sido planificadas para encajar perfectamente en el programa principal científico y la sinergia de UIA 2014 entre el evento y los socios del programa ha sido crucial para el desarrollo del Programa y el Contenido del Congreso.

“We believe that UIA Durban 2014 will provide an opportunity for African architects to make their mark in the discussions about eradicating root causes of the continent’s underdevelopment. Architects must play their role in removing the impediments to development and help eradicate poverty,” he says.

We fully support this congress because we believe that, with the necessary exposure to new and innovative ideas, we can bump up technical skills in our country in order to meet the challenges our country faces,” Minister Nxesi says. The Department has committed both human and financial resources in helping to ensure that Architecture OTHERWHERE Durban 2014 is a success. Government calls for all South Africans to fully support this milestone event for our country.
The Department’s support for the UIA Durban2014 is basically informed by its belief that education is the strongest weapon a nation can use to free itself. The Department believes that the delivery of quality public infrastructure in the country is being hampered by CGO - Public Works head office the lack of technical and professional skills in the industry and the public sector. That is why the Minister considers this congress as an important addition to the big effort that the Department is making in rekindling interest in the construction and built environment studies.

‘architecture OTHERWHERE’ The UIA 2014 is an event of international stature, and is a first for South Africa; Africa and the developing world in general. This creates the context to focus attention, debate and hopefully solutions around the urgent challenges of disadvantaged and rapidly expanding urban environments in our developing world. The activist role which architects as agents of social change can and must play will be scrutinised, and the power of architecture as a critical enabler in creating better lives for all will be highlighted. The subthemes of ‘Resilience, Values, Ecology’ are relevant interplays of different insinuations which summarise the current concerns which architects are tasked to address. The various conference speakers are all well known for their unique contributions to architectural discourse, which is so magnificently evident in the body of their work. They represent original ways of architectural thinking, of identifying with their respective constituencies, and of practicing and engaging with the various contexts and pressing issues in their countries.
