26’10 south Architects is named after Johannesburg, a harsh and dynamic city formed by a succession of exploitative regimes. Through working critically in this context, 26’10 south Architects has come up with a unique mode of ‘thinking and building’ that combines architecture, urban design and knowledge management. The resultant built work is both rational and poetic, informed by teaching and research projects that offer new insights into the city to come.
26’10 was founded in 2004 by Anne Graupner and Thorsten Deckler. Both studied and worked under Zaha Hadid and Rem Koolhaas respectively and have lectured locally and abroad. The practice won the 2009 BAUWELT Prize and was selected as the most interesting young firm in South Africa in 2012 (Backstage Award, Venice).
