1.1 - Good Design

Yamaha, Woodmead, Sandton Johannesburg.

Firstly I am fascinated by architecture. It is something that has surrounded people their whole lives. 

Form the place of your birth to the very shelter where you are reading this submission you have been surrounded by architecture. Maybe without ever noticing it.....

I first noticed the new Yamaha Building in Johannesburg when I made a piece of furniture out of concrete. As I began to understand the properties of the material and its limitations I was ever impressed with how the architects and engineers achieved this screen.

Aesthetically it markets the brand with its eye catching design and functionally it protects the building from the harsh African sun. 

Amazing!
