I currently hold the position of head of Department of Architecture and Unit 15(X) Landscape research leader in Graduate School of Architecture (GSA) at the University of Johannesburg.

My research activities have been exploring transformative pedagogic approaches in architecture and landscape architecture education. My recent teaching in honours and Master of Architecture programmes in GSA have explored numerous landscape architecture research themes that include Resilient landscapes; Radical Landscapes, Larval Landscapes; Remembering Landscapes; Toxic Landscapes; and currently, Landscapes of Memory.

My research focuses on the social, cultural and political themes that drive the  use of public space in cities in Africa that provides an avenues for the transformation of architecture and landscape architecture practice and curricula on the continent.

My research details exploration of architecture and landscape architectural curriculum-in-practice at UJ in which I examine the initial influences of architecture and landscape architecture curriculum, by unpacking the practical determinants of a curriculum and the philosophical interpretations that determine curricula of architecture and landscape architecture in Africa.

My research is explored through the body of work produced by my postgraduate students in Unit15X, a landscape research unit in the GSA over the last seven years as an argument for transformative teaching practices in landscape architecture.
