This issue explores how South African architects are transforming the relationship between built environments and ecological consciousness.
From Workshop17's reimagined coworking space at Century City, to Boogertman + Partners and MDS Architecture’s community-centric Westown Square in Shongweni, we are showcasing projects that prioritise authentic human experience over commercial uniformity. Vivid Architects’ transformation of Riverlands Mall demonstrates how architecture can actively restore indigenous wetland systems, and SALT Architects’ Cape Flats Managed Aquifer Recharge Plant brilliantly fuses engineering innovation with architectural excellence.
Collectively, these projects represent architecture’s transformative potential when anchored in ecological awareness and community engagement.
