THE Melting Tree
Project: Creating facade Systems
Year: 2023
Module: Computer in Architecture
By: Snethemba Jiyane
This project we were tasked to create facade systems on revit. I call this project a ( Melting Tree facade ) . A melting tree facade is a facade system created when all floor slabs overlaps with the curtain wall system by a minimum distance of 2m to create a shadding device inside the building and to control the amount of light coming in during summer and winter. When these floor slabs overlaps, at the starting point of the slap you have a melting point which runns down covering two floor below then where it ends of a melting point you have a Pompon Tree but the plan was to make the entire melting point a small garden to make this building a green building which seeks to improve the lives of the residents living in it. We need sustainable building in order to provide and improve the lives of people as architects we must design with sustainability in mind.

Photoshop Workshop
Project: Photoshop Workshop in class
Year: 2023
Module: Computer in Architecture
By: Snethemba Jiyane
This project was a class workshop where we were tasked to do a minimum of six story office space using conceptual mass on revit and then import it on photoshop to render it. This was a bit challenging for me because it was my first time doing a realistic render on revit, so what i ended up with is a simple office space building which is transparent and has steel facade system. This task was to be completed before the end of the class, it was challanging but also fun and very educational.

Jiyane
Location: Johannesburg, Durban Street
This project we were tasked to design a apartment/ office space. My design concept centres around the need for transparency in public buildings in order to encourage the public to use and engage with services the building provides.
