The role of architecture to bring together traditional cultural identities with modern aesthetics is beautifully showcased in the High Commission of the Republic of Botswana building in the ACT.

Situated in the Deakin diplomatic district of Canberra, the project draws its architectural inspiration from the building history of Botswana. The design reflects the neoclassical public buildings of the British colonial era and the traditional decorated huts of the Tswana people, synthesised and re-interpreted in a modern architectural language and technique appropriate for this time and place.
