Thesis (MTech. degree in Architecture: Professional)--Tshwane University of Technology, 2011. / On the 3rd of March 1997 the municipal government complex, Munitoria, was partially destroyed by a fire in which the western wing was completely destroyed and the south west corner building was left unusable and unsightly. The municipality has since then relocated its staff to thirteen separate buildings within the Pretoria CBD. This thesis is the design of a new headquarters for the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality on the site of the original Munitoria complex. The reinsertion of government institution is proposed as a catalyst for urban regeneration within the area.
