Judges Sarah Calburn Sarah Calburn Architects  Biography Sarah Calburn founded her Johannesburg practice in 1996 after completing a Masters in Architecture by Research at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. She graduated from Wits with distinction in 1987, and has worked in Paris, Hong Kong, Sydney and Melbourne. Her multi award-winning practice specializes in design integrity, in the 'art' of architecture. She locates her ethos in the conceptual space between landscape and architecture, and is committed to a critical architectural practice which is able to sustain both a creative and sustainable dialogue with its social and physical environments. Sarah currently sits on the committee of the Gauteng Institute for Architecture, from which position in Habitat she has initiated a series of CPD accredited Design Masterclasses called 'Rapid Thought Transport: Architects re-imagine Joburg'. Sarah was Program Director of the first Architectural Biennale to be held in Joburg in Sept 2010: Architecture AZA 2010 which saw wide ranges of inter-disciplinary local and international practioners put into critical conversation around the urban futures of Joburg. She is passionate about the re-empowerment of architecture in what she perceives as the rapidly privatising, developer-led urban environments of South Africa. She continues to teach design at various local and international universities, lectures frequently at the various architectural events, writes on architecture and sustainability, and has been part of numerous university examination and other competition judging panels. Her work and writing have been published in both local and international magazines, newspapers and books, including the Phaedon Atlas of World Architecture and Wallpaper magazine. One of her current projects involves setting up a new parallel practice with Dustin Tusnovics called SPACE MATTERS, which deals in issues of community building at all scales of intervention.
