Martin Kruger on urban architectural projects in Cape Town
Entrenching Itself on the International Design Calendar/Recorded 2006
A close reading, kept within reach.
Martin Kruger takes architecture & interiors as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.
Recorded in South Africa in 2006, the conversation is grounded in Martin's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.
The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
Architect Martin Kruger talks about urban architectural projects in and around Cape Town.
