Andre Viljoen and Katrin Bohn, architects and Senior Lecturers at the School of Architecture and Design, have had two major essays published on their sustainable design concept Continuous Productive Urban Landscape. Viljoen and Bohn's architectural practice Bohn & Viljoen Architects was commissioned by the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) to contribute an illustrated essay ‘Everything is Continuous’ to a catalogue accompanying the centre's current international exhibition Actions : What you can do with the city. This exhibition, which also shows a piece by Bohn&Viljoen, presents "99 actions that instigate positive change in contemporary cities around the world. Seemingly common activities such as walking, playing, recycling, and gardening are pushed beyond their usual definition by the international architects, artists, and collectives featured in the exhibition. Their experimental interactions with the urban environment show the potential influence personal involvement can have in shaping the city, and challenge fellow residents to participate".
Katrin Bohn (Bohn&Viljoen Architects) and Andre Viljoen (UoB) also collaborated when contributing an illustrated essay to the current issue of prestigious Dutch architectural magazine Volume, called Volume 18: After Zero : To Beyond Or Not To Be. Volume, "an independent quarterly for architecture to go beyond itself", is a project by ARCHIS, AMO and C-LAB and proposes with this issue "an understanding of our society beyond zero".
