A City Connected

CONNECT PEOPLE TO PLACE AND TO EACH OTHER

An aerial view of Pretoria reveals a sprawling metropole originating from a rigid Centuriation grid structure with Church Square at its core in the CBD.
The development of the city was further indirectly informed by the landscape and heavily influenced by institutionalised racial segregation during the Apartheid era. The result is a series of disconnected and isolated but diverse pockets of development in the city.
Duplan’s artwork captures Cool Capital’s intent to connect these detached parts of the city both physically and theoretically by firstly creating an awareness of spatial design and secondly by organizing a platform for people of diverse backgrounds to interact.
