4576565Hidden Pretoriahttps://www.gandhi.com.mx/hidden-pretoria-9781432310196/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4239015/b044afa9-b174-4aa9-9f22-7d682acc65a2.jpg?v=638446541253570000307426MXNPenguin Random House South AfricaInStock/Ebooks/<p>Despite being South Africas capital city, Pretoria has often played a supporting role to bold and brash Johannesburg and Cape Towns cosmopolitan charms. However, when it comes to architectural heritage, the Jacaranda City is well-endowed. From the skyline-dominating Union Buildings and Voortrekker Monument, to the imposing edifices of its administrative precincts, Pretoria might be deserving of a second moniker: the city of sandstone, brick and granite. But when you look beyond the impressive faades, soaring columns and linear planes of buildings that were intended to convey power and authority, youll find light-filled interiors embellished with decorative touches that are only hinted at from the outside. Murals, mosaics, domes, galleries, stained-glass windows, gleaming brass and impressive woodwork are often hidden from view behind doors that are closed to the public. And even those museums, buildings and places of worship that are open to all have noteworthy architectural and design features that are easily overlooked. The history of the city, and of the country, has been played out in many of the buildings featured in Hidden Pretoria. This book captures facets of our diverse heritage, historic and contemporary, so that a new generation might recognise the need to embrace the past in order to build our common future.</p>...4382530Hidden Pretoria307426https://www.gandhi.com.mx/hidden-pretoria-9781432310196/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4239015/b044afa9-b174-4aa9-9f22-7d682acc65a2.jpg?v=638446541253570000InStockMXN99999DIEbook9781432310196_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9781432310196_<p>Despite being South Africas capital city, Pretoria has often played a supporting role to bold and brash Johannesburg and Cape Towns cosmopolitan charms.
