Arch For Arch: A coda for 2017 Design Indaba Festival Day 3

Arch for Arch celebrates the free South Africa that Archbishop Tutu and his peers fought to build, and plays on his country’s affectionate nickname for him – ‘The Arch’ – as well as on the architectural attributes of an arch structure. Made from 14 arching strands of wood, each bearing a quote from one of the 14 lines in the South African Constitution’s preamble, the Arch for Arch will stand next to St George’s Cathedral in Cape Town. Archbishop Desmond Tutu s a South African Anglican cleric and theologian known for his work as an anti-apartheid and human rights activist.
