SCAPE DESIGN EMPORIUM RETURNS FOR THE BOLDEST SHOW YET

Join us at our 8th instalment.

A two-day national event where design thinking, emotional resonance, and architectural conversations are at the fore.

With the 2025 theme, Design You Can Feel, prepare to explore the pull of people-centered design – the intuitive, the tactile, the experiential – and how it shapes the future of our built environment.

Hosted at the CTICC and curated by Scape alongside Belgotex, this powerhouse exhibition is for the industry professionals across South Africa, from Gauteng, KZN, Western Cape and neighbouring regions: this is the most visceral and vital design gathering the country has seen.

This is a major CPD accredited event for the architecture and design industry.

2025 speakers

We are proud to present the icons of industry taking to the stage at the 2025 Scape Design Emporium, and we look forward to pushing boundaries, setting new standards and creating meaningful exchanges through our seminar programme. We’ll be adding to this panel constantly throughout the build-up to the show. Our show is about the community of architecture and design. It is a place for conversation, for challenging, changing, connecting and it is a catalyst for bettering our profession at large.
