continues Ayden. “This investment opens an
enormous new market for the company as well as

no irrigation or regular marking. Greenfields offers
the additional benefit of providing specialist advice
to architects involved in design and installation of
new sports fields. ”This adds value to the service
offered by professionals involved in construction

“Maintenance is simple and can be managed by
a trained groundsman,” Ayden continues. “Daily

Why do we not spend as much

The Mills comprises five buildings connected by a vertical connection core with

such as commercial and residential design, the

company’s true strength lies in its urban projects,
among these being the recently upgraded taxi ranks
in Johannesburg and at Baragwanath.
“Our inspiration always comes in response to the
demands set by the client,” Günther explains. “In
most cases, this isn’t just about the owner but also
about the public open space around it. If one area
doesn’t succeed, the others won’t either.
“With all our designs there’s an intensive pre-design
process. We work with a blank page and call in
all the stakeholders to get an acute understanding
of what is needed. We can’t go in as ‘Architects’
with a capital ‘A’ and impose our preconceptions
on everyone,” he smiles ruefully. “Taxi owners,
for instance, have a very strong idea of what they
want and invariably it’s 180° about-face from what
we might assume.”
Transport nodes
Günther is also passionate about the manner in
which public buildings should be treated. “To think
that a taxi rank could be created simply by slapping
up a tin shack is not only an insult to the people
who use it, but also to the city around it. Taxis

do we not spend as much effort on our ranks as
on our airports?
“It’s also critical to consider the flow of the design
around the structure. Although both serve the same
purpose, each rank has to be viewed within the
context of its surroundings. The Metro Station was
a very different project to Bara. For instance, Metro
Mall is in a city, Bara lies along a major feeder road,
through low-scaled residential and retail.
“Bara was tricky because it was situated on a long
thin strip. It covers 1.3kms through residential
areas nearing the hospital, and each segment had
to be managed uniquely. Obviously everyone had
their own concerns and each thought theirs was
the most important,” he acknowledges.
With Bara we had about 300 meetings

feeder road, through low-scaled residential and retail “In a project of this nature the cross-section of
people is vast; we worked with everyone from the
mayor to flower sellers. Communication styles can be
extremely complex so we always bring in a consul-
tant to identify groups. We’ll speak to local leaders
who source spokespeople to minimise channels
and keep things manageable. Usually the design
requires extensive workshopping with individuals
who represent a pyramid of other people.”
He admits that the process can be lengthy and
involved but he appears to enjoy the interaction.
“With Bara we had about 300 meetings,” he
chuckles. “But eventually it gets into a rhythm
and everything runs smoothly.”
When we suggest that urban design must be tre-
mendously demanding Günther assures us that
it’s an area of architecture that he loves. “It’s very
different to residential design but both have their
difficulties,” he explains. “In residential projects
you’re working with dozens of minute details; get-
ting the shade of lime green paint exactly right,
for instance. With public buildings it’s about the
broader brushstrokes. People are more concerned
with getting the facilities they need.”
Material matters
He has more to say on the topic of paint and
materials, explaining that for public structures,
longevity is crucial. “We love concrete and brick;
keeping the buildings as naked and honest as pos-
sible,” he emphasises. “With so many vital projects
drawing public spending, you have to consider the
possibility that there won’t be money to maintain
the building down the line, so why not go the low
maintenance route?
According to Günther this too, serves a social pur-
pose. Public sentiment is intrinsically tied to the
condition of our urban areas. “A rundown building
doesn’t inspire pride,” he continues. “People will

suburbs where half the streets are blocked off. The
result is gridlock because the spaces cannot function

congestion and pollution, and clocking up countless
hours of unproductive time behind the wheel.

some layers require paint to create a background,
often to provide a surface on which to paint field

be completely unacceptable for another.
Chill out
The real trick to maintaining an ice rink, however,
is keeping the ice frozen. This is done by the
refrigeration plant which includes a compressor,
condenser, evaporator and rink pipes. The complex
piping network houses brinewater, which is kept icy
with the use of refrigerant chillers that maintain a
constant temperature just below 0°C. The pipes,
in turn, freeze the water surrounding them. Chill-

of the resins and binders used in a number of
insulation materials, is internationally recognised
as a carcinogen.
“To understand the release of VOCs it is important
to understand the nature of current insulating ma-
terials,” he explains. “Many consist of composites
made up of different materials, some synthetic
– such as plastic – or glass. These need a binder
to hold the material together. The binder and as-
sociated processing agents are often toxic.
“Certain common glass binders emit formaldehyde
gas continuously over a long period of time until
depleted. Often when we’ve removed old insula-
tion from a building, we’ll find that the binder has
evaporated completely, leaving the glass fibres
exposed. This material constitutes a health hazard

overwhelming variety of ap-

to see what the Cemcrete team
have done with this unexpect-

Special effects
A family-run business, Shaun makes a note of
the importance of the design contribution of his
family members, showing us how the ladies
have teamed unusual materials such as straw,
bamboo and in some instances even corrugated
sheeting to produce unusually appealing effects.
“Although people favour the earthy look with
cement, most are astonished when they see
what we can do with colour,” he smiles.
In a display reminiscent of “Rooms On View”
the material is used in serene tones of cream,
shocking shades of red and a strikingly mascu-
line room dressed in black. Cement stairs are
stamped with stencils; baths are fluidly shaped
to complement organic wet-rooms; permanent
‘carpets’ defy the need for vacuuming and zebra
stripes are carved out of plasterwork. “There’s
very little we won’t try,” concludes Shaun. “We

lenge because we love to bend the rules.”

Professor Jo Noero of the School of Archi-

University of Cape Town has won the South
African Institute of Architects (SAIA) Gold
Medal for Architecture for his outstanding
contribution to the field.
It is commonly believed among architec-
tural circles that architects who channel
their efforts towards benefiting the less
privileged in society do so at the expense
of design; however, Noero’s designs are
proving otherwise.
This award, conferred by SAIA, recognises
architects who have been able to bridge this
perceived gap to create masterful works.
Professor Noero’s work has won him national
and international acclaim for his vision and
deep engagement with the communities
where he works.
Noero is a partner at Noero Wolff Architects.
The firm’s work has been displayed at five
of the world’s most prestigious architecture
exhibitions: the Shanghai World Expo; the
Venice Biennale in the exhibition titled
People Meet Architecture; the Turkish
Chamber of Architects Biennial Congress in
Istanbul; the World Architectural Festival in
Barcelona; and the Museum of Modern Art
in New York, in the exhibition titled Small

Innovations has facilitated the progression from a 3×36W

range of measuring equipment in-house.
Simulating designs in 3-D, the company’s Relux
Program employs an average illumination calcula-
tion method. By importing architects’ Auto-CAD
drawings into this design program, the correctly
selected luminaires can be ideally positioned on the
illustrations, which can then be sent electronically
back to architects or specifiers. Relux printouts
provide information on the level of illumination in
colour form, as well as on the average illumination,
minimum and maximum illumination in any posi-
tion of the illuminated area, and on the uniformity
of light, ie, maximum to minimum, maximum to
average and minimum to average.
Another one of Lighting Innovations’ advanced
measuring units, the integrated sphere, calibrates
lamps accurately in terms of lumens emitted and
provides the correct figures to be factored into the
goniometer. This process culminates in reliable
data that can be used in the computer-aided Relux Lighting Innovations is a leading supplier of energy efficient lighting solu-

COMPELLING REASONS
TO SPECIFY EPS!
When it comes to insulation, here are 10 good reasons for using EPS
1. Over the past six decades, EPS has become accepted world-wide as the safe,
economical and energy-saving form of building insulation.
2. EPS is compatible with cement, concrete, brick, masonry, mortars, plaster and
bitumen-based damp-proof membranes.
3. EPS is lightweight and easy to work with, being supplied in moulded forms to
required shape and size, or as large blocks for cutting into sheets and shapes.
4. EPS is moisture-resistant and retains its thermal properties.
5. EPS is rot-proof and durable. Correctly installed, EPS remains effective as a thermal
insulation product for the duration of a building.

6. EPS is Új]%j]lYj\Yfl. styFRene !Mri^?K"\hgmZbglZÜZf^&k^mZk]bg`Z]]bmbo^'

TM
7. EPS is energy-saving and helps conserve energy usage in other areas such as
ê^\mkb\Zea^Zm^klZg]hi^gÛk^l'
8. EPS is environment-friendly, consisting of organic materials (primarily carbon

and hydrogen) making it one of the most ecologically harmless products. It contains
no CFCs and does not damage the ozone layer.
9. EPS is easily disposable. Correctly incinerated,

100kg of EPS polystyrene leaves just 0,01kg of
ash, and the gases emitted are non-toxic.
10. EPS is recyclable.
