spired the world’s most progressive human rights bill. Patrick adds, “By acknowledging the importance
of a building within society and to its surround-
ings we find ourselves in a continual adaptation
of our approach to stay abreast and keep ahead
of current trends, while maintaining the principles
espoused by our founders.”
Collaborative design
The team recently applied these principles to the
Mpumalanga Provincial Offices. “It was one of the
first large commissions after the new government
took over,” says Chris.
The project required a collaborative design process,
which tied in with the company’s newly updated
image. “The name Co-Arc alludes to a cooperative,
collaborative architectural process,” explains Pat-
rick. “We work with colleagues throughout Africa,
as well as Germany, Argentina and even Russia.
This raises numerous cultural differences, in addi-
tion to the varying input from the different experts
and disciplines within the industry. Everyone has
something to say and something to offer.”
While this could lead to jumbled confusion, Co-Arc
has managed to combine the various voices into
a building that is vast yet welcoming, utilitarian
while comfortingly familiar. “The main feature of
the Mpumalanga project is the dome,” Patrick
says. “Its external structure is reflected within
the interior so that structure becomes part of the
interior design, which creates the personality of
the building.”

offices nestle into the landscape on

“We also chose sustainable materials,
such as waste granite for the tiles and
eucalyptus poles for the timber” Chris
adds. “It’s often a case of inventing
new uses for materials, particularly
when we want to bring sustainability
into a tight budget.”
Where possible, attention is given
to allocating monies to community
upliftment programmes. “Through
careful choice of materials, we were
able to save enough to invest in an
art programme, sourcing pieces
from both provincial and national
artists whose works have a strong
local flavour,” he says. “These are
displayed in the building and form
part of one of the largest new col-
lections in the country.”
Complex exercise
The pair admits that sustainability
and social awareness certainly add
complexity to an already complicated
design exercise, but they’ve literally
immersed themselves in the process.
Chris recently completed a Masters
in Environmental Management while
Patrick holds a Masters in Urban
Design.
“When building a civic structure
it’s vital to look at the dignity of the
individual, rather than the power of
the organisation,” Patrick empha-
sises. “This was the case when we

“People would often be compelled
to cross the border on foot, carrying
heavy loads, and then be funnelled

of moving through an arrivals lounge

that we offer sacrifices to the local deities, and
we had to issue an architects’ instruction for pro-
curement of the offerings, which included large
quantities of alcohol,” he laughs. “It is satisfying
to work in different environmental and cultural
contexts, and also sobering to be reminded in ever
new ways of the debt we owe to nature.
Urban planning
Co-Arc also had a chance to flex its urban design
muscles during a pitch for a Joburg inner city park
competition. While the firm was not chosen as the
overall winner, there was tremendous enthusiasm
for the research involved. “We took a look at the
needs of the city to see what would really work,”
Patrick says.
“Our idea was to create a series of green spaces
which would allow inhabitants to circumnavigate
the city through a green environment. It gave us
a chance to truly engage with the problems of
the city and created a wonderful debate in our
studio regarding the importance of architecture
in society.”
Regeneration
Co-Arc has applied these insights to the proposed
urban regeneration of the Germiston CBD, which
will soon house the combined offices of the vari-
ous municipalities under the Ekurhuleni umbrella.
“Germiston has become a city in decline,” says
Chris. “We hope to revitalise what should be the
industrial powerhouse of the country.”
The proposed project, which has received mayoral
approval, will see a central complex of administrative
buildings around public squares, along with housing
and retail facilities. “This mixed use development
is an attempt to make a catalytic intervention
to turn the city around,” he adds, while Patrick
explains: “We need to go beyond architecture to A close up look at the refreshing new design for German that will hopefully

Leaving legacies
“Our greatest legacy as architects is to leave behind
a sense of order. Services, structures and finishes
should resonates with the human spirit,” concludes
Patrick. “Design is about a range of issues, such as
the way light interacts with mass and space; how
texture affects the building.” Chris is quick to add:
“It is also necessary to incorporate humanitarian,
and environmental sustainability objectives. While
fitting within a budget and getting the building
completed on time!” It may seem like a tall order,
but their passion and enthusiasm should help them
overcome the hurdles.

Tile Africa Contracts specified and supplied tiles and bathroom ware
to the East London Airport upgrade project. The company provided
tiles for the terminals, waiting areas, bathrooms, VIP lounge and
line shops within the airport. In addition, brassware was supplied
for the public bathrooms.
Full bodied porcelain tiles imported from Greece and polished
porcelain tiles imported from Italy were among the tiles that were
supplied. “We feel we have given the best possible service to GVK
as we were required to order additional tiles from Italy and Greece,
with very short notice, which we managed without a glitch,” says
Craig Penton of Tile Africa Contracts.
The main floor tile is a 400x400mm salt and pepper tile with polished
porcelain tiles laid out in five different colours. The interesting tile
layouts in the arrival and departure areas grabs the attention and
make for a unique floor surface that travellers cross when arriving
or leaving East London. Line stores within the airport, such as the
Wimpy and Mugg & Bean, were also provided with tiles.

The final stages

The complex process of Chryso Southern Africa acquiring a.b.e.
Construction Chemicals, which started in February this year, has
now reached its final stages. The move resulted in a.b.e. delisting
from the JSE, with Chryso taking ownership and management control
of the company at the end of September 2010.
Norman Seymore, the current MD of Chryso, will be CEO of both
businesses after the acquisition is completed.
“Initially, a.b.e. and Chryso will run independently from one another
while integration possibilities and opportunities are studied. However,
there will be strong cooperation between all the departments and
divisions of the two companies,” explains Norman.

Retail and transport

The 26 000m2 Edendale Mega City shopping centre in
Pietermaritzburg is set to become the first centre of its
size and offering to cater for the area, which is largely un-
tapped and unserviced by retail. Scheduled for completion
in September 2011, the R250 million project will bring
much needed retail services, including leading national
tenants, exciting line shops, and a substantial food court
to the area. It will also include a modern banking mall and
a custom-built taxi facility.
The project is being driven by leading property development

News & Views
The joints in the DHL old warehouse floor had been
subjected to materials handling equipment such as
pallet jacks and forklifts and thus had spalled to such
a degree that a simple joint sealer would not suffice.
The consistent heavy traffic had created cracks below
the surface, causing concrete to split and chip off. The
contractors were firstly required to cut back and die into
the concrete slab, clean the surface, and then begin
priming the substrate with Sikafloor-156ZA Primer.
Static cracks in the floors were levelled using Sikadur-
42 ZA, a mixed fluid grout of epoxy resins and special
fillers, before the application of the primer, to ensure
optimum results.
Sikadur-42 ZA was allowed to cure, following which the
joints were re-cut and cleaned with an electric blower in
preparation for the third Sika product used, LoadFlex.
Loadflex is a hard bearing sealant designed to withstand
industrial traffic and can be used to fill interior horizontal
control joints as well as to repair random cracking of
concrete slabs.
Time was a significant factor in the success of this
project as the warehouse is a hub of busy activity all
year round, and just three days were allocated for the
job. For this reason, the contractors had to be as fast as
possible and were able to rely on the quick setting times
of Sika’s high strength epoxy, Sikadur-42 ZA, to expertly
complete the job between Friday and Sunday - within
the client’s prescribed time frame and budget.

The Lehavot system, available from the Centa Group, is an
automatic fire detection and fully mechanical suppression
system for enhanced safety in commercial and industrial
kitchens, as well as in kitchen areas on the mines.
“Electric and gas-operated cooking equipment uses large
amounts of inflammable ingredients which are susceptible
to ignition and fire outbreak. For this reason, it is critical
that a reliable fire protection system is installed in the
kitchen areas of public institutions, the mines, hotels and
restaurants,” says Duncan Boyes, chairman of the Centa

“The Lehavot system uses liquid potassium salt to extinguish

and suppress cooking oil fires and consists of heat detectors
that are automatically triggered, or manually operated, in
the event of a fire. Sprinklers are positioned over the cook-
ing area to offer maximum coverage of the installation. On
contact with the oil, the extinguishing liquid creates foam
which prevents oxygen from reaching the fire.

Holocaust and genocide centre

Johannesburg is the latest South African city to develop a Holocaust and Genocide Centre. The project is being funded
entirely by charitable donations in association with the City of Johannesburg, which made the prominent site on Jan
Smuts Avenue across the road from the Westcliff Hotel available for this purpose.
Designed by Lewis Levin, the archi-
tectural language and aesthetic of the
building has clearly been carefully
considered. “It is important that this
building is humble yet respectful, austere
yet contemplative. And it is important
that children are able to relate to it,”
says Levin.
At street level, the double-volume foyer
is dominated by a wall of glazing, which
entices the visitor to enter the building
and provides a sense of transparency.
Interspersed in the wall of clear glaz-
ing are children’s drawings reproduced
in stained glass. “These extraordinary
images were drawn by children in
the Theresienstadt Ghetto during the
Holocaust. They depict the optimism
of childhood amidst the horror of their
surroundings,” explains Levin.
The exterior finish is a combination of dry-packed concrete with large exposed rock that is aggregate-clad onto the wall
between steel members. The visual effect is striking, evoking wreckage and destruction but also, rather surprisingly,
trees in a forest. Levin says the imagery is deliberate: “If you visit the death camps, the fragments of mangled steel
that have remained and of forests surrounding the precincts are strong visual associations.” The feature also includes
a reflection pond and planting along the feature wall.
