21 GSA Architecture Week 2024 26-30 August 2024 Architecture Week at the GSA is an annual event that serves as a vibrant platform for showcasing the work of our GSA Unit System students and fostering constructive dialogue between students, architects, creative practitioners, academics, and the broader public. This tradition has its roots in the International Critics Week, first held in 2018, which brought together a distinguished panel of critics from around the world to engage with our students’ work. After a brief hiatus, the event was revived and renamed Critics Week in 2022, building on the original vision of critical engagement and dialogue. In 2023, the event evolved into what we now know as Architecture Week, expanding its scope and reach. This year, we are excited to welcome critics from both South African and international architectural and other creative practices, offering a diversity of perspectives and feedback for our community. The core of Architecture Week is the presentation of student work to the critics, a process that emphasises openness, sharing, and the exchange of ideas. This year’s programme also includes a range of events and lectures designed to deepen the engagement with architectural discourse and practice. Our doors are open to the public – we invite friends, peers, and critics to explore the work and research conducted at the GSA. The intention of Architecture Week is to create an open house atmosphere where reflection and feedback are paramount. It is a time for our students to showcase their hard work and for the entire GSA community to engage in constructive conversations about the architecture. We look forward to the insights and inspiration that this week will bring, as we continue to explore, probe, interrogate and expand the boundaries of architectural education and practice.
