Peter Rich

Shane Thompson asks leading design thinkers about the projects they undertake outside his primary work practice, how these extra-curricular activities transfer across disciplines, and how they enrich all sides of life – both work and play.
In this instance, he speaks to Peter Rich (Peter Rich Architects, South Africa).

Peter's distinctive body of work is testament to a lifetime of commitment to the creation of a uniquely African architecture. He has been a pioneer in the documentation of the spatial and aesthetic elements of African tribal settlements and developed an architectural vocabulary that fuses Modernist principles with local tribal convention and sensitivity to material and environment.  His practice is distinguished by a deep understanding of context achieved through sustained research into local conditions and close collaboration with communities.
