Red Location Museum by Noero Wolff Architects

Some photo's I took on a visit to Red Location Museum last year. There are some really beautiful moments that one experiences moving through the spaces. We were all pretty much blown away by the Archive and the ramp that brings you around to it. The manipulation of light is pretty amazing. And all brought about through the use of industrial and inexpensive materials.

Wanted:

Remedy "upcycle" secondhand and unwanted furniture. Brilliant! I'll have these chairs please.

Port Elizabeth CBD

If only our CBD had been potected against harmful projects and demolitions, we'd have a truly special town square and surroundings. But much of what contributed to making PE's town square special was removed - numerous old buildings that held the square with their human scale, the mayor's garden etc. It really is a terrible shame.

And I just loathe the fly-over highway. Yes, it is convinient, but at what cost? It has cast a dark shadow over the CBD, seperating it from the harbour, not to mention fostering a generally unsafe feeling. There are so many issue I could raise in regard to the problems our CBD faces but I'll just post some pictures that focus on the positive aspects our CBD/Town Square retains.

*These photo's were taken late on a Sunday hence the place looks a little deserted.
