An otherwise boring government building turned into a one of the largest monuments to the city’s best-known residents.
Installed in the 2010s, the translucent portraits depict Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu, rendered not as painted murals but as large-scale graphic window treatments integrated directly into the building’s glazing. From the outside, the images appear as bold, high-contrast faces overlooking the city, while from within they filter daylight into the municipal offices behind them
