Item Item For Us(Witwatersrand University Architecture School, 1962) Jones, Patrick (ed)This exhibition is an expression of our search for a way in which we can, with conviction, face a situation deprived of a centre and a living purpose. In the buildings presented in this exhibition we find the evidence of a way of building that has not lost contact with the basic facts and mysteries of daily life.....The exhibition was more a poslng of a question than a formulatlon of a new vernacular.Item Clinic Building(Self published, 1980-01) Nimpuno, KrisnoThe objective of constructing low cost health buildings is not simply to build cheaply, but rather to construct fully adequate facilities for the lowest possible cost; or, in other words, to achieve a maximum health care capacity from each invested dollar. This may seem to be a very superficial remark, but there are in reality staggering differences in costs between hospitals of equal capacity within almost each of the LDCs, which give us ample reason for questioning the present practice. Does anyone really, helieve that ,medical €are .is ten times more effective in a ten times costlier hospital bed? Does anybody believe that a reasonable hospital bed/population ratio can be achieved with high rise, air conditioned hospitals in countries with a GNP/Capital of less than $500:- per annum? The answer is naturally no. Nobody believes that. But why do governments and technical assistance agencies build such costly facilities? The answer is that the elites taking those decisions are not sincere in their proclaimed efforts to provide equal care for the whole nation.Item Metropolis; architectural students congress(Architectural Students Congress Committee, 1986-04) Elk, Clifford (ed) et alWe are of Africa, and have been misguided and mislead into thinking that our cultural and architectural aspirations should coincide with other Western Nations of the world, best demonstrated by not only the content of our education but also by the state of the architectural profession. This is precisely the stand that the congress took, being highly critical of the imagery and ideas imported per se, while attempting to redress the question of relevancy, symbolism and meaning of architecture in South Africa today, the role that the architect plays and how our education currently fashions our perception.Item South African Architectural Record(SA Architectural Institute, 1942)South African Architectural RecordItem Jack E Clinton & Associates: Architectural Practice - Inventory to Complete Works(2015-04-24)Complete works: Jack E Clinton & AssociatesItem John Moffat Building; Plans & drawings(2015-03-05) Fassler, J; Herbert, G; Howie, W D; Morgenstern, J; Shunn, J; Tomaselli, UItem Wits Architecture Student Works 1922-1980.
