LAST WEEK

Last week we engaged with the audience of the “Housing the invisible” Seminar at the Delft University of Technology, Netherlands

This seminar was organised under the auspices of the visiting professorship of Marina Tabassum and included paper presentations, screening of documentaries, and lectures including Afua Wilcox’s lecture on the topic of “Housing the Urban Invisible” and its relevance in the context of South Africa.

The seminar will concluded with a visit to the exhibition “Housing the Urban Invisibles”and a public lecture given in the Orange Hall by Niklaus Graber and Salauddin Ahmed with the title “Bengal Stream: The Vibrant Architecture Scene of Bangladesh.”.

This seminar engaged the ideas of housing, urban environments and related policies which are quite relevant to our current NRF Community Engagement Project in Bertrams, Johannesburg.
