AWARDS FOR EXCELLENCE 2004



Three projects received the SA Institute of Architects’ (SAIA) Award for Excellence for 1004.
The recipients are:

WESTCLIFF ESTATE
While it can be assumed that when a client employs an architect the money is well spent, this project demonstrates that, no matter what the budget, the designer brings added value.

NEW MEDICAL RESEARCH FACILITIES
The project serves an example of how designers apply their minds across the range of technologies and resolves each appropriately and inventively.

SOUTH AFRICAN APARTHEID MUSEUM
This project is closely linked to its theme and becomes the proscenium to the theatre-in-the-round of its presentation. The visitor becomes the participator in the drama of violent and violated memory. The architecture is not however overtly literal in its symbolism.
