Ricardo Nobangela sketches as he listens. It’s how he reads a room — translating ideas into spatial possibilities. With a foot in urban planning and another in live illustration, his practice sits right at the intersection of cities, culture and community. This drawing was made on the @blackbrickgardens rooftop during our @designweeksouthafrica Form + Dialogue activation: @afrosynth ‘s David Durbach in conversation with illustrator @big_diff_ Darren Christian about his visual world-building for the new Sandy B release — imagining a Durban that looks forward, not back. The sketch becomes a record of the exchange: thinking made visible. #StudioForm #DesignWeekSA #FormAndDialogue #RicardoNobangela #LiveSketch #UrbanCulture #Afrosynth #DarrenChristian #FutureDurban

Still buzzing from yesterday! 🖤✨ We journeyed together through three iconic historic sites — connecting stories of our practice in the city, design, and heritage along the way — and wrapped it all up at the stunning @blackbrickgardens and @atras_capetown . The perfect rooftop finale: tunes by @afrosynth , good conversations with @big_diff_ , and that feeling of “wow, we did that.” Huge love to @designweeksouthafrica for backing our mission and this wild, wonderful activation. More adventures, more intentional impactful making, more storytelling, more community — we’re only getting started. Xoxo 💫

Secret entrance to Red Dagger Lair. Inspired by Time Bandits and the Apple film I did with Spike Jonze. Thanks to @big_diff_ Darren Christian for awesome designs.
