Additionally, he is a registered architect and lecturer, specializing in systems and services in design and technology.<\/p>\n<p>With a keen interest in social issues, Chisomo enjoys investigating the identity of African architecture in a post-industrial age. This has led his research to explore water, food, and sustainable practices. He firmly believes that a sustainable African future is a positive one, emphasizing the importance of considering and developing modern attitudes towards water and the environment for health, wealth, and wellbeing.<\/p>\n<p>His research endeavour&#8217;s to address the question of water-sensitive design (WSD) and its role in fostering an inclusive architectural approach. Drawing from his past experiences, which have provided him with a broader perspective, he has engaged communities in participatory action research and conducted interviews with experts in the field. The aim is to uncover lessons that broaden the perspective of water-sensitive design, prompting a reconsideration of processes to integrate water resilience into built form traditions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column col-md-2\"><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tutor<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2720,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sea.ac.za\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2148"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sea.ac.za\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sea.ac.za\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sea.ac.za\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sea.ac.za\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2148"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/sea.ac.za\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2148\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2831,"href":"https:\/\/sea.ac.za\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2148\/revisions\/2831"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sea.ac.za\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2720"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sea.ac.za\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2148"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sea.ac.za\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2148"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sea.ac.za\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2148"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
