Dear Members

The GIfA has been filling your calendars with a fabulous variety of lectures, workshops and tours for each month. We have connected with UJ and WITS to co-host events, aiming to bring greater cohesion between the Schools of Architecture and the Profession.
We are inviting practices to present their projects –see Osmond Lange presenting ‘Melrose Arch’ March 2nd –and are touring the latest buildings opening in Gauteng–see Wits Arts Gallery (February) and Town Library March 31st.
Tell us what drives you as an architect and the CPD courses you would like us to provide?

Help us to live up to our Mission:
"To serve our members’ interests, promote a better built environment and a greater awareness of Architecture”

Send any and all suggestions and feedback to executivemanager@gifa.org.za

Kind Regards
Victoria Myerson
