“As long as I am useful, I want to be around and as long as I am around,I want to be useful”
Dr Chris Mulder, Founder, Chairman and CEO of CMAI Architects
“I love my work; it is my hobby, my life and my passion
and I am in the fortunate position that I share my
work with my family who are all involved somehow
or the other”, says Dr Chris Mulder who set up CMAI
in 1980 with his wife Pat upon their return from
America. Having both graduated from The University
of Pretoria, the couple obtained postgraduate
qualifications from Texas A&M University; Chris with
a PhD in Urban Design at the College of Architecture
and Pat with a BSc in Floral and Interior Design. Both
hold directorships at CMAI and
