| Pick ‘n Pay’s
NEW CORPORATE CAMPUS
As a function of the growth and development of supermarket giant Pick and Pay over the years their current group of offices in the Claremont area of Cape Town became too small and scattered to meet the company’s growing needs.
To provide a design for a more fully integrated set of corporate offices the Pick ‘n Pay group, in conjunction with developers Abland, approached Bentel Associates International to design a new corporate campus in Kenilworth, Cape Town.

AFRICA
FILM FESTIVAL
The Architect Africa Film Festival is an opportunity to enjoy some of the finest films featuring architecture and the built environment.
The Architect Africa Film Festival will focus on architectural masterpieces, spaces and monuments that awe and inspire, as well as the detailed workings of cities, and the humble, everyday structures of ordinary people. Attention is not limited to the visual but also seeks to explore the social, economic, environmental and cultural issues that manifest in the built environment - thereby giving voice to the premise that architecture is a reflection of the society in which it is created.
Buildings are such an integral part of life that often they are completely taken for granted. The Architect Africa Film Festival seeks to draw attention to the forces that determine these built forms, and the impact that they in turn have on their users. The films chosen will explore the relationships between edifices, the lives of people who use them, and the environment in which they are located, using light, colour, texture and sound to capture the imagination.

Contemporary
South African Architecture
in a Landscape of Transition
Thorsten Deckler, Anne Graupner and Henning Rasmuss
This title is on contemporary South African architecture, celebrates some 50 projects of architectural excellence that have been built in the years of democracy since 1994. Through both text and
full-colour photographs it explores the ways in which local architects have contributed to change in this country through their work and to the development of a new sense of cultural identity. The focus is on buildings that create beauty from utility and need, that respect their place in the landscape, that connect people to their social and physical environment, and that unlock the potential of cities to amaze and astound.
