PRISON BREAK

摘要

The Constitution Hill precinct is the most complex of the projects commissioned by public clients in post-apartheid South Africa. Along with the Constitutional Court (AR November 2004), this redevelopment of a former penal site includes the Number Four Prison, the Johannesburg Fort, basement infrastructure for future commercial buildings, and the Women's Jail precinct. Kate Otten Architects were selected for the commission to redevelop the Women's Jail, bringing the skills of a largely female run practice to the building team.
