I am also a professional architect and project manager, work that complements my philosophical inquiries through spatial research and social engagement. I have published on the social impact of urban design in Johannesburg, reflecting the link between the built environment and speculative thought. Through my architectural teaching at UJ, I have facilitated student-led design and construction of community-based projects such as soup kitchens and urban furniture installations. These engagements ground my interest in how physical space shapes human meaning and inform my broader inquiry into the nature of consciousness.
