Credo Credo.Oct 1966 No 1 - June 1971 No 29 . A single sheet bulletin produced by a group of South African architects, part of whose credo ran thus 'We believe that the withdrawal of the architect from the wider field of city-making ... is one of the main causes of the chaos and inhuman order of our cities, which have made them uninhabitable ... we plead of a new humanism in the making of our city environment - using the powerful forces which are seeking to destroy it at present, to regenerate it and to find the new city-order in the contradictions, the complexities, the richness and the shelter that human life demands from its dwelling place.'
