Book Author: Walker, Michael Year: 2010 Edition: 2nd Title: A Statement In Stone Place: Cape Town Publisher: Privately published by Michael Walker A Statement In Stone focuses on the history of the early architects and architecture of Muizenberg and its neighbours. Because Rhodes saw fit to have a seaside cottage there and brought with him his architect, BAKER, others of the moneyed class followed suit, hijacking the services of Baker - who hence gets a chapter to himself - or bringing in their own respective architects of choice, with these biographic entries arranged chronologically by year of birth (you need the index if you only have a name). In consequence, we have a good and diverse representation of the architects practising in the first decades of the 20th century; and many extant projects from these early years that shows the local professionalisation of the discipline of architecture. Even this event is recorded in detail in the book. The facts are well researched and laid out; illustrated with interesting and authentic drawings sourced from the local municipality. A valuable addition to the historiography of the discipline and profession of architecture in South Africa. (Book Review by Roger FISHER, Architecture South Africa.
