GUEST: DANIEL VAN DER MERWE -  Convener of the Architecture South Africa Conference (AZA24),

The housing crisis is a critical issue affecting millions of South Africans. According to the National Housing Needs Register in 2023, some 2.3 million households and individuals are still waiting for a home - a huge backlog that’s set to get worse as our population is rapidly urbanising.

Problem-solvers, over and above being designers, how could architects contribute tocreating functional and socially responsible housing solutions, what is holding back

the process, and what other critical issues will be discussed at AZA24?
