A highlight of the year 2013 was our office trip to Port Elizabeth. We flew to PE, to attend the Milde Mac Millian Memorial lecture by Luyanda Mpahlwa at the PE Opera House. The lecture was followed by a party at Cubanas on the beachfront where our group of 27 architects disrupted all the waiters by rearranging all of the furniture and re styling the restaurant. Multiple furniture layout scenarios where proposed but we finally came to consensus around a single table to fit us all! ( this is what happens when you put architects together)

This was a unique office bonding outing, we stayed together at the Marine Hotel, wandered around PE's beautiful inner city, we were inspired by the amount of inner city public art we stumbled upon. On the second day we met local architects that led us to the Red Location Museum as well as the Ubuntu Centre offering key insights into the concept and construction of these architectural works.
