The KwaZulu-Natal Institute of Architects’
(KZNIA) publiCITY Exhibition will run
for a short season of four days from May 15 to 19 at the KZNSA Gallery. The
exhibition is in honour of the inauguration of the new KZNIA President, Kevin
Bingham, who will be inducted officially on May 16.
The incoming President of KZNIA invited
participation of all KZNIA Members to submit one project which is of particular
significance to the Member and/or their Practice. Projects on display will be
in drawing or model format and is not limited to architecture. It can also
include meaningful collector’s pieces or architectural photography.
The exhibition aims to increase public
awareness of the architectural profession, especially in light of UIA 2014,
hosted by the City of Durban, next year. South African Institute of Architects
(SAIA) won the bid to host the ‘olympics of architecture’ in Durban in August
2014. The International Union of Architects has a membership of 1.3 million
architects globally and holds the largest architectural congress tri-annually. The
theme for the Durban event is ‘architecture otherwhere’. (See http://www.uia2014durban.org )
The exhibition will run concurrently with
an ARCHIVE Global Exhibition. ARCHIVE Global is an international non-profit
using housing/environmental design to combat disease among the most
disadvantaged. Peter Williams, Founder/Executive Director of Archive Global,
will be the guest speaker at the KZNIA Presidential Inauguration. The
exhibition will focus on the work ARCHIVE
