​Johannesburg Transition: architecture & society from 1950 - Clive M Chipkin (STE Publishers, 2009)
This scholarly work is the sequel to Chipkin's 1993 book, but almost 200 pages longer. It's been worth the wait – it's absorbing, loaded with fascinating insights, and brimming with great photographs and illustrations. Chipkin's pen takes in the vast world that is Johannesburg, with its melting pot of people, wealth, poverty, extravagance, madness, and of course, architecture.
