2022 Zimbabwe Architectural
Conference and Awards Dinner

The 2022 Zimbabwe Architectural Conference was merged with the awards dinner, making 89
it one big event. This was an important event considering the fact that the last convention
of this scale was back in 2019. Since that year it had been impossible for the Institute of
Architects of Zimbabwe to host an event of this extent because of Covid-19 regulations.

Like plenty of other industries which have continued to feel the ravaging effects of climate

spared. Adaptation is of the essence more than ever. This means that architects and other
professionals in parallel sectors have to come up with strategic ways to reduce the effects

against climate change and global warming.

Against this backdrop this year’s gala aptly ran under the theme: “Climate Change:
Adaptation and Mitigation Measures in the Built Environment” with a panel of renowned
local and international speakers taking to the podium to give presentations, discussions
and practical solutions on the impact of climate change on architecture and the built
environment.

Among those who gave forward thinking presentations were Chris Manyowa of First
Mutual Properties, Tessa Brunette of Arup C.T, chairman of The Green Building Council of
Zimbabwe Mike Juru, Virginia Madiro from the Department of Architecture at NUST, Mick

of green building standards for Zimbabwe. He said his organisation works with the

advocating, educating and training people on the importance of sustainable infrastructure.

He also singled out the lack of mandatory building standards as one of the reasons cities are
sprawling with buildings of inferior standards. He believes that the biggest stumbling block
in green building developments is that green building initiatives in Zimbabwe are largely
voluntary with a large swath of the population ignorant about the discourse surrounding
that. Like other speakers who later gave presentations, he is a proponent of mandatory
sustainable infrastructure policies.

National University of Science and Technology architecture lecturer, Ms. Virginia Madiro,
had to answer whether the current curriculum used in universities was appropriate to the
Climate Change Emergency. She said that indeed, at National University of Science and
Technology, architecture students are being capacitated with skills that position them
in a good place to respond to climate change emergencies through their designs. She

90 Director Eve Gadzikwa, about her organisation’s role in mitigating the
impact of climate change in the built environment. Gadzikwa said that
her organisation endorses around 100 procedural standards with the
purpose of helping to mitigate climate change impact. These were
there for everyone including architects to implement. She particularly
highlighted the ISO 15392:2019 standard for sustainability in building
and civil engineering works. She also said that architects could reach out

Approach to Adaptation and Mitigation Measures’ which she was able
to tackle at length although in a clear informative manner. She started by
pointing out that mitigation and adaptation were in essence “two sides
of the same coin”. She went on to say that there was a need to look at
past projects for climate change mitigation and adaptation solutions.
She gave examples of the Eastgate Mall and Harare International School
which maintain cool temperatures even without air-conditioning.

Tessa Brunette also had suggestions for reducing climate change impact
on the built environment. She said, “The route to a better future is a net
zero carbon, climate resilient world with a thriving natural environment
and a circular net zero economy. We should be thinking about principles
of designing zero carbon buildings, focusing on reduction of carbon
emissions, and creating diverse environments that support biodiversity.”

She also cautioned architects to “design for the future now”. She further

could start designing buildings that can adapt to climate change at the
present moment.

Brunette towards the end of her presentation.

of climate change mitigation into developments ranged from lack of
awareness, expensive alternatives, weak and fragmented bylaws, to a
lack of government endorsement or leadership and what he called “short-

Elsewhere in the discussion, Mick Pearce reminded the audience that in fact the green building rating system

There should be close collaboration between built environment stakeholders like architects, quantity surveyors,
town planners and engineers in order to bring about the desired climate change impact reduction. In addition,

climate change resilient infrastructure. The government on the other hand, must draft bylaws and policies which
make it easier for the architects’ sustainability focused designs to manifest.

The much-hyped awards dinner followed after the conference had ended. The last architectural awards were in 2014
making it only reasonable to give recognition to projects either conceptualised or completed from 2012 to date.
Each award category was supported by a different sponsor.

Institute of Architects of Zimbabwe President, Tsitsi Dzvukamanja said that the awards were testament to the
resilience of architects even when the deck was stacked against them. The night was dedicated to celebrating
architectural excellence.

Architectural Planning Studio emerged the top winner clinching a total of eight awards including Best Cultural Design
Award, Best Interior Design Award, Best Landscaping and Planning Award and Best Hospitality Design Award.
