This handsome pocket guide to the major buildings of Durban and
Pietermaritzburg is the first of its kind available. Covering about
250 buildings of all styles and kinds - from the grand Edwardian
city halls and stylish Art Deco apartment buildings to the gleaming
office blocks of the 1990s and the community centres in the
townships - the book offers an introduction to the architecture of
the two major cities of KwaZulu-Natal. There are colour photos
throughout as well as some original plans and drawings. Short
descriptions of the major buildings provide useful background

the buildings described. Indeed, the book is expressly designed for
use in plotting one's own guided tour through the cities and
identifying buildings along the way. For both the cultural tourist
and the local enthusiast, this book will soon reveal the
architectural riches that are on offer in Durban and
Pietermaritzburg. - This book is the first of its kind and fills an
