solutions for the built environment. Since the firm’s founding in 2002,
MDL is developing into one of the continents most diverse and
respected design practices, continentally and globally. Industry
surveys have recently ranked MDL among the leading firms in
numerous building types, specialties and regions, and we have
earned the respect of our peers and the public for our projects,
people and practice.
MDL creates dynamic environments that meet the world’s most
complex planning and design challenges and standards. Innovative,
powerful ideas guide our solutions. We specialize in innovative
conceptual design projects and seek work that uses public art and
architecture.
Our work strives to inspire people while shaping the future. MDL
projects transcend their initial purposes to express timeless cultural,
organizational and personal values. Our ability to connect across
markets and disciplines allows us to see the “broader horizon” and,
because we tackle design in a multi faceted manner, gives us an
unparalleled ability to innovate. Our philosophy is birthed from the
intellectual cross pollination of minds and ideologies.

Key Glocal concerns
“ M a p p i n g O p p o r t u n i t y ”
•South Africa is 90% dependent on fossil fuels
•This dependency represents a risk given
diminishing resources
•Consumption outstrips demand and is expected to
increase steadily.
•Imbalance of access to resources- inadequate
energy in some areas, over supply in others.
•Renewable energy and sustainable city making is
increasingly viable and an imperative

“ M a p p i n g O p p o r t u n i t y ”
‘The industrialization of the home was
determined partly by the
decisions of individual households but also
partly by social
processes over which the households can be
said to have had no
control at all, or certainly very little control.
Householders did
their share in determining that their homes
would be transformed
.. . but so did politicians, landlords,
industrialists and
managers of utilities' (Cowan, 1983, ppI3- 14).
