Light Studies

Open Studios is an annual event organised by the Cape Town Design Network. The event is an opportunity for the general public to enter into architectural studios and in this way initiate discussion and discourse around the profession of architecture.

For Open Studios 2016 we organised an exhibition of models of the Chere Botha School for learners with special educational needs. The Chere Botha School is a current project in our studio and located in the northern suburbs of Cape Town. For the Open Studios event we focused on the way light is explored as a key architectural element in the organising and articulation of space and volume.

The exhibition consisted of a series of models, a film and a catalogue of drawings for viewers to take home.
