WOLFF ARCHITECTS

WHERE Cape Town, Republic of South Africa
PEOPLE Ilze Wolff (b. Cape Town, Republic of South Africa, 1980); Heinrich Wolff (b. Johannesburg, Republic of South Africa, 1970)

Design, research, and activism are the tools that enable Wolff to approach the past in a way that will help to heal the present, using what is called ‘consequential architecture’. This approach, based on the development of inclusive, non-hegemonic spatial practice, takes inspiration from reparative justice and integrated research, accompanied by an intriguing aesthetic. In this way, Wolff Architects create architecture that is fully aware of the weight and consequences of past decisions with an end goal of creating equitable, inclusive spaces.

SPECIAL MENTION AS A PARTICIPANT
For an installation that reflects a collaborative and multimodal design practice as well as a nuanced and imaginative approach to resources, research, and representation.
