In this movie from our series running up to 2012's World Architecture Festival, programme director Paul Finch told us how the jury were "bowled over" by the hand-constructed Mapungubwe Interpretation Centre by Peter Rich Architects, winner of the festival's World Building of the Year award in 2009.

Finch explains how indigenous building techniques had to be retaught to the South African community that built the centre because they were more familiar with modern construction.
