ECODESIGN, an ecologically-minded architectural practice, recently completed a revitalization project for a heritage site in Mamre near Cape Town. They not only used local materials, but also involved and empowered the community by providing public participation forums and running a series of training programmes.
By building in this sustainable way, ECODESIGN managed to address two of the most pressing issues of South Africa: unemployment and environmental pollution.
