		<description><![CDATA[It’s difficult to believe that Hanif Kara almost gave up on engineering when the United Kingdom was hit by a recession in 1996. The now celebrated structural engineer, whose career bridges the engineering and architectural disciplines through what he refers to as ‘design engineering’ has worked with some of the world’s leading architecture firms, like Adjaye Associates, BIG, David Chipperfield Architects, Heatherwick Studio, Foster + Partners, Zaha Hadid Architects, and the now defunct Will Architects. His own Studio AKT II has won more than 300 design awards. But the Ugandan-born maverick thought about making a clean break with the discipline, after becoming disillusioned with the type of engineering work he was doing at YRM Anthony Hunt, and opened up two dry-cleaning shops. It was his wife who persuaded him to start his own practice, so he co-founded AKT with Robin Adams and Albert Williamson-Taylor. The business was later renamed AKT II after a sale and later buy-back with new partners, and input from an angel investor. &#160; Kara has always done things differently. Forced to leave Uganda in 1972 when Idi Amin purged British Asians from the country, he finished school in Cheshire in England and went on to study [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At a gala awards ceremony held on the rooftop of the Zeitz MOCAA in Cape Town, the inaugural Grand Prix and Category Winners of the Africa Architecture Awards were announced on the evening of Thursday, 28 September 2017. Over 130 VIP guests were in attendance at this glittering event, including the Consul-General of France in Cape Town, Mr Laurent Amar, the Chairman of the French South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Philip Geromont, and Claude van Wyk of the Kingdom of The Netherlands Consulate General in Cape Town. The shortlisted finalists were flown into South Africa from across the continent and the world, and hosted by awards founder and sponsor Saint-Gobain. The much-anticipated gala was the culmination of an ambitious two-year awards programme that was initiated and supported by construction industry innovator Saint-Gobain with the ultimate aim of stimulating conversations about African architecture as it cements its place in a global continuum. The Africa Architecture Awards is the first-ever Pan-African awards programme of its kind. A steering panel headed by Professor Lesley Lokko guided the awards with strategic input from ambassador Phill Mashabane, advisor Zahira Asmal, and patron Sir David Adjaye, one of the globe’s most influential voices in architecture.
