Boogertman’s Alasdair Forsyth

BOOGERTMAN + PARTNERS RECOGNISED AT SAPSA AWARDS 2020

sponsored by Sanlam and W. Consulting.

Boogertman’s projects have scooped accolades on various platforms: Africa Property Investments, GIFA, Steel Awards, Archiboo Web, CORE, PMR and SAPOA. The firm is set apart from other architecture companies by active participation in the Graduate School of Architecture lecture series as well as the Design Scholarship for Africa. From a business growth perspective, the judges noted that the Group has launched an Interiors Turnkey division.

“As regards Forsyth, he rightfully sees his position as an opportunity to engage directly with clients on new ways to approach old problems in a way that makes business sense for them and pushes the envelope of design possibility,” the judges remarked. “He is an achiever having come second in the Des Baker design competition and is cited by Bob van Bebber as his number 2 in the Award winning project of Discovery Place. He is unafraid of projects at scale having been fortunate to be exposed to large urban design thinking from very early in his career.”

Alasdair Forsyth, an Associate Director at Boogertman + Partners architects, has been awarded the Young Professional of the Year Award in the Architecture Class for 2019/2020. In addition, Boogertman was recognised with a Special Commendation from the Judges in the Architectural Firm of the Year category. The accolades were granted by the SA Professional Services Awards

“This is a fantastic honour and I would like to thank the Awards committee for choosing me,” Forsyth said. “I would also really like to thank Bob Van Bebber my colleague, mentor and friend for nominating me for this Award. It means a tremendous amount for me especially in the current climate where industry in South Africa is in a very tough place. It really is encouraging to receive commendation from our peers. We are excited about the future even though it is tumultuous at the moment, we still look forward to doing great things within the South African construction industry.”
