CIfA Newsflash 38/2022 | Note from the School of Explorative Architecture [SEA]

The School of Explorative Architecture (RF) NPC is an independent and non-profit school of architecture in Cape Town. We started teaching 18 students this year on our three-year Bachelor of Architectural Studies degree accredited with the Council on Higher Education. We are provisionally registered until 31 December 2024 with the Department of Higher Education and Training as a Private Higher Education Institution and are endorsed by SACAP and have successfully completed a pre-validation visit with them. We offer practices a chance to reimagine architectural education with us by supporting us – this year or next – either through B-BBEE bursaries or through Section 18A tax deduction certificates for donations received. Please contact admin@sea.ac.za for further information or visit us at 25 Commercial Street in Cape Town. The flyer can be downloaded here. See you at the edge of the horizon!
