South Africa: uneven development after apartheid

eds., A. Graafland, IB Low & G. Bruyns, DSD Publication Series, forthcoming September 2009

As a reflection on the African Perspectives Africains conference, held in Delft 2007, this volume of the series merges within the transforming South African context in an attempt to unlocking specific debates around/regarding relevant South African topics and its highly specific built landscapes.

 

Building on the framework of our Urban Development stall at the African Perspectives Conference, the topics within this volume address issues as [1] Architectural and Urban Education as a form of Interdisciplinary Modes, [2] Design and Architectural practices and finally [3] Inequality.

 

In addition to the conference participants, contributors where sourced from a variety of both academic and practice backgrounds, sharing observations, issues and key questions concerned with the present South African debate. Additional input has been gathered from other international and interested parties in order to deliver as a diverse field as possible and affording a critical overview of this condition.

Secured contributors are: Arie Graafland, Iain Low, Hanna Le Roux, Finzi Saidi, Lesley Lokko, Alta Steenkamp, Mphethi Morojele, Edgar Pieterse, AbdouMaliq Simone, Johan Lagae, M Christine Boyer, Gerhard Bruyns, PatrickHeller and Ena Jansen.

This volume is due for publication, beginning 2009.
