school of architecture, planning & geomatics direcTOr: assOciaTe prOFessOr alTa sTeenkaMp scHOOl prOFile Within the School of Architecture, Planning and Geomatics, research work includes conventional research and applied research as well as creative work. This takes place within the actively teaching divisions within the School, as well as within dedicated research units. In the Architecture and Planning programmes these research endeavours include areas of enquiry such as urban design, architectural design, architectural education, digital technology, contemporary architectural theory and practice, planning theory, urban conservation, urban transport policy and urban informality. The ethos of this School is also strongly influenced by our context: the physical context, the city, and the broader social/cultural/economic context of the region and the country. We are committed to engage with these contexts in both a meaningful and critical way, not as abstract sites for investigation but rather as peopled places to which we can respond. There are a few projects underway in the School that evidences this: the PERC - VPUU “Participatory Design” project, the community-led and involved Planning & Landscape Architecture Studio Project that focuses on the informal settlements of Barcelona & Europe (run in conjunction with CORC [Community Organisation Resource Centre] with support by the international NGO Slum and Shack Dwellers International [SDI]), and the 2 nd year BAS Platform building project in the informal settlement of Imizamo Yethu. The Geomatics Division within the School undertakes research in a variety of areas. These include documentation, modelling and visualization of African heritage sites, closerange photogrammetry, laser scanning of architectural structures and remote sensing of the environment; issues relating to land surveying, ownership, registration and tenure; modeling of the shape of the Earth (geoid) using gravity and satellite data, applications of GPS and modeling of datum transformations in Africa; applications of remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) to urban, agricultural and environmental monitoring. Spatial data infrastructure (SDI) development for integrated development planning (IDP) in sub-Saharan African cities. faCUlTy of engineeRing & The bUilT enviRonmenT researcH uniTs and grOups african centre for cities Known colloquially by the acronym ‘ACC’, the Centre is now five years old. In its short life it has established an impressive international profile and reputation as a dynamic home for analysis of urban problems and policies. Its interdisciplinary brand gives the ACC huge potential to facilitate urban conversations and inquiry throughout UCT. ‘CityLabs’, a new model of engaged and applied research, were created to address pressing concerns in Cape Town, including flooding, urban health, densification, ecology, and climate change. New Labs on violence, culture and human settlements have been launched. The ACC partners with international research units studying food security, and women’s informal employment. Honours for ACC include its (renewed) status as a UCT ‘Signature Theme’ and a Rockefeller Innovation Award. The ACC is linked tightly to the flourishing Association of African Planning Schools (47 members across the continent) and it leads a multinational ‘state of the cities’ audit in four African capitals. Extending the ACC’s crosscontinent work is under consideration. The ACC has good links with UCT’s newly established African Climate & Development Initiative (ACC was present at COP17), and will work closely with the new Violence Signature theme. Exchange of PhD students with City officials is starting in 2012 in an exciting programme for co-production of urban knowledge. The Cape Urban Observatory is an ACC project, run from within the Geomatics Division, which aims to facilitate evidence-based decision making and improved collaboration by providing a public internet-based platform for the storage, dissemination and analysis of geo-spatial information and analysis of themes relevant to integrated development planning. noteworthy achievements in 2011 Professor Jo Noero was awarded UCT’s Creative Works Award for the Red Location Museum of Struggle in Port Elizabeth. Professor Vanessa Watson was elected as a fellow of the University. Emeritus Professor Dave Dewar received the Mayor’s Medal for Social Affairs and Services for his contribution to the study of Planning in South Africa. 179
