It is estimated that 80% of our population will live in cities by 2050. We face immense environmental, social and architectural challenges linked to this rapid urbanisation- especially in Gauteng. Imaginative infrastructure solutions will be needed for society to operate effectively in a humanised environment where community values are respected.
Sustainable infrastructure is reliant on great architecture. Great architecture is dependent on collaboration and debate between architects, clients, consultants, the state, municipalities and end users. We will not succeed by simply building schools, hospitals and houses. We need integrated solutions where everyone plays a part. Developers, the state, the public and consultants will all play a role, but architects are ideally trained and qualified to lead this quest.
Very often, though, the quality of our build environment is limited by one-sided decision making steered by selfish goals – either by architects, developers or other clients. It is clear that better communication, fresh thinking and insight is needed.
The architectural community wishes to invite all to join hands in building creative minded and inspired community. Such a community can form the basis for intelligent decision making resulting in healthy communities. It is time to take hands.
Through events such as the bi-annual Idea conference, the PIA endeavours to encourage debate and understanding amongst creative minded people. The conference brings together speakers from divergent creative disciplines such as artists, architects, graphic designers, branding experts, product designers and advertising agencies. Everyone is welcome to be inspired at this event.
The PIA challenges the city and its residents to assist us to shine a light of creativity on our city. Together we can create imaginative solutions to meet the significant challenges that lies ahead and hopefully become the creative capital of Africa.
