An architect and urban designer, Chapman is the founder and principal of Local Studio, an award-winning architectural firm based in Johannesburg. Just five years old, Local Studio boasts a mission and proven history of using design to create social and economic development for people of all classes. After being invited to speak at the 2016 Design Indaba Conference and a collaboration on the Trevor Huddleston Memorial Building in Sophiatown, Chapman and Design Indaba established a meaningful working relationship that endures to this day.
For Chapman, one of the most fulfilling aspects of his involvement in the project has been the chance to meet with and learn from some of the various dignitaries who’ve been privy to the projects planning – people like Albie Sachs, Cheryl Carolus, and more.
