The publication Up Up-Stories of Johannesburg's Highrises presents
a selection of buildings in the inner city of Johannesburg. The
focus lies on tall modernist towers that stood out at the time they
were constructed. Witnesses to profound shifts in the political
history of the metropolis, the buildings have gone through immense
changes. They are documented in two distinct sections: One the one
hand the formal architecture is presented with facts, floor plans,
archival discoveries and contemporary images of the interior and
the exterior. On the other hand each building is accompanied by a
reportage or subjective essay on the inner workings of the
building. Interviews with residents, research based texts on
contemporary issues and independent contributions from invited
writers, artists and photographers allow brief insights into the
old and new lives of these towers.
