We have just signed this petition to save the BPO building by Odille Decq and Benoit Cornette in France. Support! change.org/p/monsieur-fra…


On our Facebook page you can download all the sites we've covered. m.facebook.com/profile.php?id…


The most important work we do is documenting SA modern architecture in the form of a template called a fische.


We also have talks and workshops about the SA contribution towards global modernity and the spatial discipline of arch, urban design etc.


We discuss modern buildings under threat and compile comments for heritage authorities.


Cape Town members meet every second Friday of the month from 1-2 @CIFArchitecture - today for example.
