This  title  was  the  2009 winner of The Pretoria Institute for Architecture Award for Architecture  and  the 

2010 winner COROBRIK SAIA (South African Institute of Architects) AWARD OF MERIT AND COROBRIK SAIA AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE

10+ years 100+ buildings - architecture in a democratic South Africa is premised on its companion 10 years 100 artists - art in a democratic South Africa in which ten art critics each nominated ten artists for inclusion. It differs insofar as all architectural practitioners were invited via the South African institute of architects to submit work for consideration. Given the determining influence of bio-climatic factors on architectural expression, the submissions were grouped into six geographic regions. Esteemed academics from those regions were called upon to review the projects worthy of inclusion. Based on their recommendations, the title documents the most influential projects since South Africa's transition to democracy and includes work in the public, institutional, educational, health-care and residential domains. The 450-page title is fully illustrated, consists of 8 introductory articles, a conclusion and 100+ scholarly citations on each of the submissions. Every citation is accompanied by biographic data of the design and construction teams, as well as a bibliographic synopsis. 10+ years 100+ buildings is an indispensable reference for both students and members of the architectural profession, but is also readily accessible to the broader public. The title is likely to change the threshold of architectural awareness in the country due to its collective impact and scholarly content. It will undoubtedly stimulate debate and future publications of this nature.
