[in] Process 2021: All Third Year Portfolio Document
We are pleased to launch the second edition of this All-Third Year Portfolio Document: [in] Process 2021. We hope that this online portfolio and exhibition of student work from the third year of architecture and planning will become an annual tradition at Wits SoAP, as a marker of the achievement of this graduating class.
The theme of ‘In Process’, recognises that design and planning work is not only about final products but about a process of exploration, iteration and refinement of thinking through a project. The students from the architecture and planning studios have presented both a concise statement of their interests, and a project that they felt best expressed their approach to the discipline. Several research areas are emerging in the undergraduate programmes; and for the purposes of this portfolio document, the work has been grouped according to the following themes:
- Society + Transformation
- Embodiment + Phenomenology
- Nature, Ecology + Sustainability
- Science, Technology + Virtual
- History, Memory + Tradition
- Aesthetics, Pleasure + Excess
- Materiality + The Poetics of Place
- Black Music, Culture + Urban Typologies
