The South African government has announced plans to abolish the South African Council for the Architectural Professions and usurp all its assets and powers.
According to the recently released policy document on the proposed amendments of the statutory regulatory framework of the Built Environment Professions, South African architects will be stripped of their autonomy and self regulating powers before the end of 2008, according to the timetable published by the Department of Public Works.

I am starting a new kind of architecture school. Unlike most architecture schools, you wouldn't have to submit GRE scores or good grades or letters of recommendation. You wouldn't have to put the rest of your life on hold for 3 to 5 years. You wouldn't have to accrue tens of thousands of dollars in debt. At my architecture school, anyone could come for a few weeks and learn how to build a house with their own two hands. My teachers would take skills and concepts from some of these other workshops I've listed above... except classes would be held year-round to make it easy to fit into your schedule. I would have a number of different campuses around the country that would teach building designs appropriate to the local climate. And I need your help. Can you donate land for a campus? Can you dotate books for a library? Can you teach a workshop? Can you provide start-up capital? Let me know.
