Durban Architecture

Our Grade 10 classes have just completed an overview of architecture. We took them to Durban to view different examples of architecture on the beachfront.

We started at Ushaka Marine World and made our way to the Moses Mabida Stadium. There are examples of different styles all along the way, and it was the perfect opportunity to expose the students to the scale of buildings in real life.
