years, and conducted in three stages. In the first year Awards
for Architecture are presented by the various Regional Institutes
affiliated to SAIA. The Corobrik-SAIA Awards of Merit are
bestowed in the second year and thereafter, the Awards for
Excellence are announced.
The Corobrik-SAIA Awards of Merit is made to members of
SAIA to encourage and recognise good design or a significant
contribution in the field of architecture. The Award for Excellence
is made only for an exceptional achievement in the field of
architecture.
Projects that have received an Award of Merit are eligible for
this award. The panel of adjudicators for the 2011/12 Awards

was convened by the President of the Institute, Fanuel Motsepe,
and consisted of Peter Kidger from Corobrik and an academic
architect, Philippa Tumubweinee and fashion designer David
Tlale.
Of the awards, Motsepe says that architecture in South Africa
is cementing its confidence as a global role player and our
architecture has clearly matured, confidently and convincingly
in good posture, out of the provincial years of isolation “I can’t
but help feel that there is a growing appreciation of lessons in
indigenous built environment approach being explored in 21st
century expression,” he concludes.
