Corobrik is an industry leader with a long history of supporting and advocating for the architectural profession. It understands that supporting students is a necessary catalyst for growth and sustainable transformation of the sector, which is why the Awards continue to attract some of the country’s top architects as judges.
Wandile Mntambo is from GASS Architecture Studios, a bespoke architectural design practice with a predominant focus on urban regeneration, architecture, and interior architecture. Jodi Davids-Harber is from TJA Architects, a multidisciplinary design firm delivering architecture, interior design, urban design, and project management services across Africa for over 45 years. Henry Pretorius is from Typology Architects, established in 2005 to expand its footprint across South Africa and the continent. He is also a Director at Premo Consulting.
Judging takes place on 15 May, the first time this is being done in-person since the Covid-19 pandemic. The LIVE 36th Corobrik Student Architecture Awards will be held on 16 May in Johannesburg.
“The Awards have added a lot of depth and enriched the architectural profession by allowing young up-and-coming architects to express themselves and show the kinds of directions they believe architecture should be going in,” comments Corobrik CEO Nick Booth. Since 1986, the Awards have placed 35 winners on the architectural map, both in leading practices as well as their own firms.
Highlighting talent, creativity, innovation and inspiration, the Corobrik Student Architecture Awards is all about jump-starting careers, building the industry, and designing tomorrow. The finalists are selected from South Africa’s major universities, based on the students’ Architectural Master’s theses, from the class of 2022. The eight regional winners each received a R10 000 prize and the opportunity to compete for the top title, plus a R70 000 grand prize.
