Heinrich Wolff is an architect, contractor and project manager. He co-directs Wolff Architects in Cape Town, with Ilze Wolff. His work has won the RIBA’s Lubetkin Prize for the best building in the world outside the UK, and the Daimler Chrysler Award for South Africa’s best architect.
According to Wolff, 'The structure of good architecture has the structure of a joke. It is a theory and it is mine! This is what I do. More precisely, this is how I do it. A self-awareness of our working methods can advance the character of our work. It humanises the creative act. You are invited to join a conversation about design methods and the mad yolks required by the recipe. Let us work out the difference between a wink and a twitch. Intentionality to the architect is like timing to the comedian. Sometimes I am compelled to fork off to the left while designing a building. Somewhere between studiousness and deviousness lies the moment of breakthrough'.
