Project type: Park - Memorial

Client: Freedom Park Trust

Project value: R 30,000,000

Project description: The overall philosophy is informed by Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) which sensitivity is to the gestalt of the site. Therefore built structures were designed to sit discreetly on the hilltop. The design of the landscape site and its components is extremely rich in symbolism with a strong emphasis on African symbolism. Metamorphic references to cleansing and healing are made throughout the site.  An African Olive tree planted by President Thabo Mbeki in 2002 signify the beginning of Freedom Park.
