Abstract

Innovation in architectural form is, unfortunately, rare these days as many designers unconsciously resort to the use of fashionable clichés or international precedent. It is refreshing, therefore, to come across uniqueness in architectural form, in an understated building2 for a medical practice in Die Wilgers, Pretoria, completed in 2015.
