The Architectural Journal of Aziz Tayob
We are pleased to announce the release of our book “Going According To Plan – The Architectural Journey of Aziz Tayob”.
Going According to Plan is an endeavour to unveil the remarkable journey of architect Abdool-Aziz Ahmed Tayob through his many projects that showed a meticulous attention to detail and thought. His creations not only left a lasting impression on clients but also introduced the transformative power of architecture to many who encountered it through his efforts for the first time in their lives.
Commencing in the 1940s, it navigates the intricacies of his experiences, including the hurdles of growing up as a person of colour in apartheid South Africa and then having to study and work under the same oppressive system.
It was a journey that despite the numerous challenges, saw the realisation of several hundred projects.
“…It took me many years to fully appreciate how Aziz represented the transformation of an all-White profession. His service to the profession and to his community has been exemplary….” Prof Amira Osman, Tshwane University of Technology
