Heinrich Wolff on architecture as a force of social change
I Am Not a Designer/Recorded 2012
A close reading, kept within reach.
Heinrich Wolff takes architecture & interiors as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.
Recorded in South Africa in 2012, the conversation is grounded in Heinrich's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.
The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
Heinrich Wolff considers post-apartheid architecture in South Africa and the new role of the architect.
