SMArchS AD 26'

Gert Duvenhage is a designer from South Africa currently pursuing his SMArchS AD degree. With an intent on re-evaluating our understanding of the boundaries of the architectural discipline.

His previous work has delved into the intricacies of crime-scene sites as places of performance, religious places for the secular, self- funded and executed exhibitions meditating on art and design as a connected heritage, multi-site rejuvenation for sensitive and displaced archaeologies, research into co-operative breeding mammals in Sub-Saharan Africa, Ai and large language models for translating images to music, low earth orbit space-wearables and thermal imaging devices.
