The architectural wealth of the University of Pretoria represents all the schools of thought of the most important building
styles of the past hundred years. It comprises a compact and highly accessible collection of impressive buildings that includes from the Neo-Classics to the latest innovations of the Post-Modern period.
It is the sensitive integration of functional needs and contemporary technological solutions that distinguishes the UP campus and makes each facility and façade unique. To be able to appreciate and compare examples of Edwardian Modern and International Modern alongside the Neo Brutalism,Indigenous and Contemporary while strolling on campus,is indeed an exceptional experience.
To appreciate how the buildings are related and how they differ in style and Zeitgeist is the basis of rational development in the broadest sense of education and awareness.
The diversity that awaits on the campus of the University of Pretoria is truly representative of time, place and culture.
