#Architecture - 104 posts

Thorsten and I spent a Sunday morning hanging out at 44 Stanley, having breakfast and browsing through shops.

Picking up on my "Hidden Joburg" series from 2022, I finally visited the home of the late sculptor Edoardo Villa in Kew.

The Blogitects spent two days at Stuurmansfontein, a historica corbelled house -- kind of like a stone igloo -- in the Karoo

Michelle and I spent three days exploring Bilbao, Spain, and were dazzled by the architecture and art in this once-industrial city.

Last Saturday activists, students, and concerned Joburgers demonstrated for the re-opening of the Johannesburg City Library.

St. Mary's Cathedral in downtown Joburg is one of the city's most important historic landmarks. I had never heard of it until last week.

Thorsten and I visited Dolobran, one of Joburg's quirkiest Parktown mansions, on a tour by the Johannesburg Heritage Foundation.

I visited Lavinia and Fabian Otto in Noordgesig, on the northeastern edge of Soweto, and checked out the neighborhood library.

I took a walk through downtown Jozi on a tour with JoburgPlaces. Despite all the bad press, the city is still alive and kicking.

In celebration of Heritage Month, I went on a tour of churches in Coronationville and Bosmont with the Joburg Heritage Foundation.

Thorsten and I spent three fantastic days at an Airbnb in Suurbraak, a village about three hours from Cape Town in the Overberg Mountains.

Over Human Rights Day weekend I discovered St. Alban's Anglican Mission Church, a 100-year-old church hidden in plain sight in Ferreirasdorp.
