		<description><![CDATA[At a dedicated event held at the Architecture ZA (AZA) Conference at 012 Central, Pretoria, on Friday 4 May 2018, 22-year-old student Roark Robinson was crowned the winner of this year’s PPC Imaginarium Award for Architecture and received a R50 000 cash prize! The PPC Imaginarium Award for Architecture has replaced the Des Baker Award for outstanding student design, making Robinson – who hails from the University of Cape Town – the top architecture student in Southern Africa. Robinson’s winning project envisages a “public, connective architecture” for a District Six of the future. In addition to sponsoring the PPC Imaginarium Awards, PPC is also a long-standing key sponsor of AZA, Africa’s premier urban festival of architecture. The focus of this year’s AZA included issues related to culture, human settlement and environmental potential. It was thus a fitting backdrop on which to bestow the PPC Imaginarium Award for Architecture. Architecture schools across Southern Africa were invited to submit works by final-year students for consideration. All 21 finalists’ projects were on exhibition at the 012 Central Gallery as part of the AZA programme. In keeping with the AZA’s theme of resilience and memory, entrants were asked to locate a ‘hole’ in urban infrastructure [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At #AZA18, the theme ‘WeTheCity: Memory &#38; Resilience’ engages head on the changing role of architects in the built environment and architects’ obligations to the public – through a flexible and affordable programme that includes keynote presentations by renowned local and international speakers, professional practice sessions, student design sessions, films, workshops, walking tours, and a series of inspiring exhibitions and awards – all at Pretoria’s most exciting inner-city venue, 012central. Says Marguerite Pienaar of the University of Pretoria’s Department of Architecture, “The right to adequate housing, as one of the most important of all basic human rights, is recognised in a number of international human rights instruments and treaties, yet we have made very little progress in the delivery of new approaches to housing densities and resultant typologies. “Ultimately, we must choose to make cities sustainable and resilient, and it is within this context that architecture should address basic human rights. Through issues of resilience focussed on the larger discussion of the socio-economic implications of housing provision, WeTheCity considers that the future of our cities is practically the future of our humanity.” As a highly participatory platform for envisioning scenarios of change, #AZA18 will host several activities that will question [...]]]></description>
