Our first-year class hits the streets of Sea Point to explore high-density living solutions with Robert Silke + Partners. 🏙️

As part of their studio project, students are exploring how we can create housing for the city through new approaches to density and urban living.

A big thank you to Robert Silke + Partners for taking us out into the neighbourhood and sharing their work with us!

A glimpse into one of our Process Studio Electives, led by Sanelisiwe Njobe

Exploring 3D-printed clay as a medium for architectural making, the studio investigates the relationship between part and whole through material experimentation and computational design. From the formal qualities of individual components to their tectonic expression, students are rethinking how architecture is conceived, made, and assembled.
