This document outlines the vision, mission, focus areas, and upcoming events of the South African Council for the Architectural Profession (SACAP). The vision is for people-centered architecture in South Africa. The mission is to transform, promote, and regulate the architectural profession through collaboration to pursue excellence. Key focus areas include transformation to address the lack of equity/representivity of historically disadvantaged practitioners, recognition of prior learning and continuing professional development. An upcoming Architectural Education Forum will include academic papers on topics like experimental vs traditional teaching, entrepreneurial practice, interdisciplinary collaboration, and inclusion of appropriate building technology in undergraduate curriculums.

At the XXIV World Congress of Architecture (UIA), held in Tokyo in 2011 after the historically devastating events in Japan in March 2011, professionals and students working in architectural and urban fields consequently made a pledge to "promote responsibility within our profession, support architects and architecture, and enhance the regional quality of life for all people, together with governments and others, by closing the gaps in social justice, whilst working towards sustainability".

The architects referred to the traditional local materials and construction techniques that had been forgotten or superseded by global ones, and rediscovered centuries-old solutions, which in turn allowed the appropria...

The search for early signs of important changes and themes in education, technology and society occupy a number of people scattered over the globe every year when producing the NMC Horizon Report (http://www.nmc.org). A scan of the horizon reveals signals and can provide foresight to support current challenges in research, innovation, policy and practice. Some of the challenges are more or less well-understood but where solutions remain elusive; others are wicked challenges - complex to even define.
