    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.
