11:10 – 11:50 What Pliny Said
Prof Leslie Lokko, Head of Graduate School of Architecture,
University of Johannesburg
Just over two thousand years ago, Pliny the Elder uttered
the following: 'ex Africa semper aliquid novi.' (There is
always something new out of Africa). In this forty-minute
talk, Prof Lesley Lokko, Head of School at the newly-formed
Graduate School of Architecture, University of
Johannesburg, will talk about the work of a pioneering
group of African students whose three-year design research
project, Créoles, has produced imaginative and innovative
ways to explore the difficult theme of cultural identity in
architecture. Drawing on their visits to the island nations of
Zanzibar, Cabo Verde and Réunion, their design projects for
way-stations, embassies and ministries all point to a much-
anticipated emerging African confidence in architectural
education and practice.
