UIA 2014 Architecture Otherwhere

Garth Walker

In 2014 South Africa hosted the first ever UIA Congress in Durban in partnership with the South African Institute of Architects. Over 4000 delegates attended the Congress under the theme of "Architecture Otherwhere". The UIA requested the graphic design for all communication be such that "it does not look like typical architect design, and to have a flavour of the host country - be exiting, colourful and appeal to a wide audience".
