Public Lecture - Spatial Tactics - Heather Dodd

Heather Dodd is the first graduate of the practice-based PhD in Architecture with Specialisation in Design at the University of the Free State and a partner in Savage + Dodd Architects based in Johannesburg South Africa. Savage + Dodd Architects believe in the power of design in restorative spatial justice and urban resilience. This is reflected in the scope of projects undertaken in the Practice, which encompass buildings within the public realm such as universities and social housing, which are reflective of new building types for a new society. Heather has a particular interest in social housing and urban regeneration and has been involved in many large-scale housing projects contributing to the revitalisation of the inner city of Johannesburg. Savage + Dodd Architects has been the recipient of several design awards including being awarded two WAFX Awards at the World Architecture Festival in 2019 and 2022.
