Meshworks Architecture + Urbanism
Meshworks is an award-winning studio headed by Guy Trangos and Catherine de Souza, based in Johannesburg, South Africa. We are driven by research to design innovative and memorable built interventions. The varied contexts in which we work and the specific needs of our clients are our primary points of departure. We see design as a powerful process and take our responsibility as makers of the built environment to heart. Every project is an opportunity for positive change.
“For inhabitants … the environment does not consist of surroundings of a bounded place but of a zone in which their several pathways are thoroughly entangled. In this zone
of entanglement – this meshwork of interwoven lines - there are no insides or outsides, only openings and ways through.”
