International Union of Architects World Congress – 03 - 07 August, Durban

Caesarstone will be represented at UIA 2014, being held in South Africa for the first time at Durban’s international conference centre.

The congress aims to gather architects from around the globe to debate the industry’s collective concerns and highlight new paradigms in theory and practice, but with a focus on Africa. As reported by trend forecast, Dion Chang of Flux Trends, the world is turning to Africa in many industries as the final frontier for development. African knowledge, challenges and opportunities will finally take centre stage.

The distributors for the Southern African region, Caesarstone will be represented by the International Slab Sales (Pty) Ltd projects division. The projects division specialises in supplying granite, marble, sintered porcelain and luxury quartz surfaces to large construction projects such as hospitals, hotels, restaurants, commercial spaces and shopping malls.

UIA 2014 will explore how architects could play an important role in combating social inequalities, incorporating deeper efforts to create more sustainable projects and environments focusing on sustainable urbanisation and agricultural opportunities in and on the peripheries of cities. The association with UIA 2014 is perfect for Caesarstone, with their natural focus on design, urban spaces and sustainability.
