摄影师MikhaelSubotzky把南非放在画框里。
米米尔·苏博茨基首先对摄影着迷的故事令人耳目一新:他只是想拍他在东南亚的差距年访问过的异国情调的地方。
但是这位29岁的卡普顿人在开普敦著名的米凯利斯美术学院拍摄了一个非常不同的世界,这是他探索南非监狱生活的最后一个作品。
他在谈到自己被囚犯关在一起的经历时说,我很多时候都很害怕。“我不认为它和战争摄影相提并论,但这是一个很难工作的环境。”
这一切都是值得的,因为他的投资组合为他赢得了米凯利斯的最佳成绩。2005在开普敦臭名昭著的波尔斯莫尔最大安全监狱首次展出,苏博茨基的学生作品也使他被摄影界注意到。
在25岁的时候,他被Magnum抓走了,这是有史以来最年轻的摄影师之一。
然后,苏博茨基继续在纽约的现代艺术博物馆展出。
展览的特色鲜明的形象来自他的博福特韦斯特项目,它集中于一个孤立的卡洛沙漠小镇和贫困居民的生活。
“这很震惊,”苏博茨基说,“突然发现自己站在一个与摄影师约瑟夫·库德卡、吉姆·戈德伯格和埃利奥特·埃尔维特谈话的人的圈子里。”
在过去的两年里,苏博茨基一直在与英国艺术家帕特里克沃特豪斯合作,在约翰内斯堡市中心拍摄一座名为庞特城(W*80)的圆形住宅区。该项目结合摄影、历史档案、发现的物品、录像和访谈。苏博茨基也一直在探索其他方式来展示他的照片。最近在约翰内斯堡古德曼画廊项目空间的一个展览上,他创作了三个高耸的灯箱,详细描述了庞特的生活,而在柏林和开普敦,他建立了一个圆形的、步行式的脚手架,在上面展示了他即将出版的一本协奏曲。

Photographer Mikhael Subotzky Beaufort West, 2006. Copyright Magnum Photos At the half-way point along South Africa’s great highway – the N1 running from Cape Town to Johannesburg – lies the small town of Beaufort West. With its prison in the middle of town, on an island in the highway, it’s a surreal road-stop that offers everything a traveler might want – food, gas, a place to stay, an hour of sex... Mikhael Subotzky considers the town, its vivid characters and poignant social landscapes, in a photo essay that confronts central issues of contemporary South African society.

South African Architects Directory Paragon architects Department of Arts, Culture, Science and Technology of South Africa (DACST) The bar has been raised in institutional head office design in South Africa, with the recently completed design for the national department of Arts, Culture, Science and technology by Paragon Architects. The plan arrangement consist of three long rectangular interlinked blocks, arranged like a lazy ‘Z’ across the floor of the site. Gently folded strips of concrete floor plates define the silhouette and the visible edges of the building’s form. Vast cut-outs in the planted rooftop landscape pour light deep into the courtyards defined by the blocks of offices. Cavernous performance spaces are shaped at key intersection points in the building’s layout. The entire site is intensively landscaped and entry to the building is through planted areas, across sheets of water, and through forests of columns placed at rakish angles, into the belly of the building. The material palette is kept simple and almost spartan, and form becomes the dominant element of expression.

South African Architects Directory Paragon Architects T-Systems head office, Centurion, Pretoria/Tshwane Scheduled for construction in the second half of 2011 Information Technology company T-Systems currently operates from a head office building designed in 2004 by Paragon Architects, and is now looking to accommodate its growing needs in another Paragon-designed environment. The design continues the sharp-edged, folded-plate silhouette of the existing head office, but internally has a much more complex assembly of sculptural forms and spaces.

South African Architects Directory Studio Mas Architects The Highveld Pavilion This private guest cottage is situated in a lush smallholding along the Vaal River in Vanderbjlpark, south of Johannesburg. The buildings function is as garden pavilions, with open entertainment areas that also provide weekend accommodation. The building maximises the scenic surrounding by providing complete visual connection between the interior spaces and the surrounding landscape. The building consists of two parallel blocks set within the densely treed landscape. They are connected by a garden wall along their eastern façades, creating an intimate courtyard space. The illusion of being completely outside while inside is enhanced by the use of frameless glazing on all sides as well as seamless external floor finishes. Bedroom suites feature open plan bathrooms as well as an intimate television lounge. Laser cut artworks by Willem Boschoff slide across the façade, providing an interesting and beautiful solution for adjustable privacy.

South African Architects Directory Studio Mas Architects The Hamilton Hotel The brief was for a boutique hotel with the comforts of home, but where all the requirements of the most demanding businessman are addressed; space efficient design that maximised use of a relatively small site. The hotel, commissioned by private developers, is located in the leafy suburb of Craighall Park. It is designed to look like a residential building but still creates a bold presence demanding attention and interaction. The building is located on a small corner stand and consists of a linear plan with two wings. The ground floor forms the public space of the hotel with the lobby between the dining room on one side and boardrooms on the other. The public space spills over into two private courtyards, which are used for functions as well as recreational space. The floors above consist of several private suites with en-suite bathrooms, a feature of which are the bay windows which puncture the façade and allow the users an opportunity to step out of the building and into the public domain, albeit only on a visual level. The materials explored in this design once again relate to minimising building costs; therefore steel roof sheeting was used and timber trusses became a design feature. The design uses tyrolean wall finishes, allowing for the growth of creepers on part of the walls, creating a changing façade overtime.

South African Architects Directory MMA Architects Ellis Park Precinct Upgrade 2007 The Ellis Park Urban Development Framework is part of the Inner City Revitalization of the City of Johannesburg. The location of two stadiums in the middle of the city is a unique urban condition that has to be taken advantage of. In regards to the World Cup 2010, with Ellis Park hosting a number of World Cup games, the urban framework prepared the city for this huge event of global attention. At the same time the proposed structures will cater for a large number of citizens after the event. The inner city of Johannesburg has undergone radical change after the apartheid area officially ended. Today, ten years later, planners and city government aim for integration and bringing back urban life into the streets that should be enjoyed by a large number of citizens.

South African Architects Directory MMA Architects South African Embassy, Berlin, 2003 The re-unification of Germany and the liberation of South Africa in the nineties resulted in the need for a new South African Embassy in Berlin. The chancery is located between the recently completed Indian embassy and the yet to be built embassy of Turkey. The urban design framework for Berlin is based on the recreation of its neo-classical past and the ‘villa type’ developments, with 10m between buildings prescribed in this street in order to maintain the park-like surroundings. The location of the site determined the conceptual departure of the scheme. The building opens out to both sides, the north opening being on axis with a memorial to Otto Wagner. The south opening is off axis and focuses onto a sculpture by South African artist Speelman Mahlangu as a counterpoint. The confluence of these two (German and South African) axis is at the main central gathering and exhibition space. The concept of confluence is used to further elaborate the design, primarily through integration of the Berlin ‘hof’ and African ‘khotla’ - German technology and African attitudes to adornment; Berlin town planning and African massing and proportions. A sun-drenched South African natural sandstone is used externally, offset by a granite base and aluminum ‘bangles’. These are meant to unify the diverse artistic and cultural references contained within the building, which are reflective of all South Africa’s people. The design mediates between images of South Africa’s turbulent political past and tourist present and provides an image appropriate to an efficient modern South African administration in the global arena.

South African Architects Directory 26'10 South Architects River House, Denysville, Free State This house has been designed for week-end use and eventually early retirement for a family currently living in Johannesburg. The site is located on the Free State side of the Vaal River and has been extensively quarried for gravel prior to the flood line being established in the 1970's. This has resulted in much of the site being rendered unbuildable. The clients' desire for a long, north facing, single storey structure resulted in the western edge of the house projecting over the flood line. The natural depression in the ground at this point was slightly lowered to serve as a carport. The folded plane of the roof is functionally derived and aesthetically fine-tuned to create a modulated form that mirrors the horizon on the north but rises up to announce the house to visitors approaching from the south. Red, earth-coloured, brick walls without visible lintels and subtle window sills form a monolithic base capped by the thin metal plane of the roof. The existing trees, flood line and contours provided the parameters for the positioning of the house and informed proposals for landscaping including the siting of a concealed access track to the boat launch which is located between two tall existing trees.

South African Architects Directory 26'10 South Architects and Lindsay Bremner Sans Souci Cinema Project, Soweto, Johannesburg In the absence of a budget and local capacity to re-build the famous Sans Souci Cinema in Soweto, Johannesburg, the content, rather than the container, was realised. The cinema building was destroyed in a fire in 1994 and subsequently pillaged for building materials resulting in an evocative ruin used as an informal public space by the local youth. 26'10 South Architects' brief from the Kliptown Our Town Trust was to re-imagine the Sans Souci as a cultural public space. Through a series of workshops and events, the remains of the cinema were animated as a space of cultural happening and meaning over a period of several years. A film festival, dance outreach project and several performances were held during this time. These events employed the ruin as urban armature and were curated together with the community. Through their practice as architects in a need-based context in which resources are scarce, 26'10 had to discover, for themselves, the value in the directness and immediacy of informality. By harnessing informal processes, they are finding new ways in which to make positive and interactive public spaces. Rather than abandoning their clients in the light of limited budgets, they have pooled human resources through combined networks in order to realise their mandate of creating a public space for cultural programme.
