Reflection iscovering my design philosophy and architectural language during the last 4 years it has opened my eyes to see that architects are more than mere special practitioners. Architects have become the translators of an extremely complex narrative. The environment we find ourselves in today has become so specific to its complex needs. It is impossible to begin to think about architecture without factors of these narratives forming an input in the design process. The rich nature of my context during my studies had developed my conceptual thought process to be able to read these narrative, draw inspiration from them and understand what they need. Social, political, environmental etc. Architecture for me has become the process of understanding. My unique outlook of what architecture means to me and what my conceptual design process is, was welcomed with open arms in the GSA when I applied to my MTech in 2017. The mutualistic nature of the GSA creates the perfect platform where this unique vision of architecture can become clear. A space where the student and mentors share the passion for an idea creates minds that will be forward thinkers in their fields. These new methods of thinking are crucial when addressing issues within South African context. The rapid growth of South Africa and Johannesburg needs new and explorative methods to challenge the future of South African architecture. Johannesburg being such a young city on a global scale needs the help of a new wave of architects that form and sculpt in the manner of how architecture is perceived. GSA forms around the revolutionary method of thinking and exploration of architecture. This system will push to develop and ridicule my design philosophy to become deeper and richer with every project.

Complex building & Thesis project Project description : This project is the major project of the BTech Program that is intended to synthesize all the experiences over the entire architectural education into a comprehensive demonstration of the ability to conceive, design and resolve a complex building in an urban context. The project is treated as a mini thesis in preparation for further postgraduate studies or an excellent portfolio for the beginning of ones careers as Technologists. This project synthesizes all the yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learning from all the courses into a single output assessed across all the different modules at the November end of year portfolio exams. The project has already begun with the urban mapping and urban design frameworks for the identified study area. This part of the brief will deal with other exploitive and analysis aspects of the project, and is an essential and useful process to assist the design of the Tower project. In order to meet all the assessment criteria for the project, the building must conform to the following minimum requirements: 1. At least one basement level 2. Ground Floor Retail and/or public nature at street level with catering 3. Offices component 4. Residential component 5. Large span space of some sort (over 17m) 6. At least 7 storeys high The site of the tower project is located anywhere within the identified urban design study area. This makes a large precinct with Braamfonteinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cultural hub comprising of Constitutional Hill, Braamfontein Civic Theatre and Joubert Park. Each student was to choose an individual site within the existing street block structure, (this may be one or more even within a street block), to design a multi-storey structure as a mixed-use space within an existing urban context. The design will be informed through ongoing theory and construction projects.

PROGRAM FINDING: All the program was then placed within the vertical plaza as per the sections created as reference. Understanding the nature of these sections the program can be allocated in to its optimal positions all of these allocation were made in strict accordance to the excel sheet.

An initial program outline was done when the project was started. These numbers have since been fine tuned to respond better to the brief and the conceptual framework the project has situated itself in. The program requirements are a hybrid between education, corporate and circulation. Most of the programs make use of open spaces that can respond to the concept (Vertical Plaza) and can easily be integrated to a network of spaces. There are some components that serve as an auxiliary program to what was found as part of the concept-program. These paces will integrate in the space but not necessarily the conceptual Vertical-Plaza.

Once the program placement was done colors were assigned in accordance to program that is more public and more private. The more public program will in essence form part of the vertical plaza and thus crate part of the primary concept integration. Connection of the spaces were made to start looking at how these space could be articulated. The program secondary to the public spaces was then interrogated to have better relationship towards the other programs. Programs were then shifted to all for better collaborative and efficient relationships. These programs will have secondary connections that will form more private impromptu meeting spaces for the occupancies of the building.

Since there is a very clear understanding of the nature of the concept in plan and section, a very systematic way was used to program the requirements for all the spaces. A excel sheet was set up to outline all the different requirements for each of the programs and then within all of this requirement a rating per program was made. This started to show trends of what the spaces need in relation the vertical plaza.

At this point the program development has not yet interrogated the size (sqm) of each of the set out programs. Each of the programs was then set out as a percentile of the total floor area required. These percentiles are going to be modified throughout the process to fill into the framework set out in the brief. For the easiest way to visualize how these program sizes are going to differ, a bar graph was made of the percentile. This shows how much relative area each of these spaces are going to require. This was not an indication of the physical amount but rather how much the programs should relatively be change to fit into the original program outline. Up until this point only one sections has been analyzed with program allocation. To enrich the outcome of this process all the above mentioned steps were done for the cross sections and correlated that each program meets up perfectly with both cross sections.

CO N C EP T UA L F RA M EWO RK : Faced with the growing number of graduate youth unemployment in South Africa and the negative exponential effect it has on the economy a mutualistic space needed to be developed to allow graduated a gateway in to the marketplace. The conceptual approach will attempt to guide the process of the creation of a space where student can integrate in a collaborative way with people from a field that has been already absorbed into the growing economy of Johannesburg. This will foster the relationships of a complex economic nature, and at the same time allow the new youth unemployed to be absorbed into the marketplace. The relationships does not have to be in the same field.

quires. Thus the integration of two opposite fields (economics and art) will form a new perspective of both these fields and create collaborative economic inclusion. This space will attempt to provide young graduates with the most opportune environment to find employment in the context of South Africa and more specifically in Johannesburg. This relationship will be mutualistic. The employers in the space will befit from new fresh minds and the new perspectives on their fields, ability for new businesses to utilize the student to grow and expand in their businesses.

This is one of the biggest problem that we are facing at the moment, is that you graduates are not educated in the exact field that the economy re-

P R O J E C T C O N T E X T: The integration for commercial and education creates a opportunity for a social dynamic to soften the environment and contribute to the regeneration of Braamfontein. Specific mapping was done to understand the spacial and contextual implications these factors will have on one-another and to the rest of the context of braamfontein. Main mapping topics: - Places of education. - Places of commerce. - Social vibrancy The location and the site was major influenced by two factors that was found in the initial creating of the project brief. These factors include student activity, vibrancy and the possibility for corporate players to have impromptu access to these graduates.

In Braamfontein there is a major presence of students. Despite for the heavily populates student areas there are no integration between them and the active establishments that have the possibility to provide work after these students have graduated. This them guided the possibility to areas where these two factors have the strongest presence. Understanding the nature of what is required from the brief and the context of the site a more inform decision could be made of where the site could be. The chosen location is the best suitable site for the interaction between Students and the corporate world. The site allows for corporate access on the northern edge and more student integration on the west.

FA C A D E D E V E L O P M E N T: Because so much attention was payed in the initial program allocation within the building facades can be treated as a single system to optimize the cost and performance of the building. This could only have been done by grouping programs that have similar passive requirements. The internal complexities of the building can be seen as a large light well. The spaces focused in close proximity to the atrium will have excessive

lighting that could essentially create discomfort due to glare. Special focus was given to the roof of the atrium to able to control the amount of light that will be allowed in to the space. A light sensitive dynamic louver system will be used to automatically control the light distribution to optimize the internal environment.

S T R U C T U R E D E V E L O P M E N T: Three main pieces of structure that will have to be considerer. A tension like structure, A gravitational compression structure and a lateral compression structure. The structural solutions will then be a hybrid system with steel beams and columns that will form the basic grid structure. And a concrete ring beam system that will tie the two halves of the crack together. This concrete beam will also tie into the sear walls to create maximum lateral support. The steel framed structure placed on the edges of the building where no cantilevers or transfers

structures are required. Allowing these members to be tied back into the structure it will able to support the cantilever within the atrium. The grid system for the basement is a 7500mm x 6500 grid, this works well for the basement but not for the building above. The grid thus changes to the top of the building rather responding to the opening that has been formed. A radial grid runs along the cracked opening allowing the structure to integrate with the crack with minimal cantilevers or transfer structures in habitable space.

C O N T E X T C O N S I D E R AT I O N S :

The nature of the urban fabric surrounding the site creates an interesting dynamic when looking the plot edges and how they relate to one another. The following factors will inform the pragmatic responses to the site keeping in mind the nature of the concept on the ground level will have the biggest impact on the building.

The existing western edge has a public buffer space that separates the busy Jan-smuts road to the site. This creating of a public real could serve as the main access edge to the ground floor and possibly the vertical plaza that will connect all the spaces within the vertical programming.

The north edge spills out to a pedestrian friendly street edge. The roads tempo is slow and this could possibly allow for retail spill out without the intruding on the users experience and the comfort of the space.

The Southern edge shares a 7,5m wide service road with the neighboring building. This edge will be dead to the social vibrancy from the north and west. This allows for the perfect

The slow pace of the northern edge and the close proximity to the road will house the entrance to the public basement parking. The entrance will be situated on the eastern most edge of the northern edge to allow the pedestrian to wrap around the north and west edges uninterrupted.

Opportunity to create access to all the servicing and goods delivery. Venting for the basement can also be one along this edge hence no interference to the public or intrusion on the activation of the pedestrian edges. The Eastern edge of the site is shared by neighboring building. This creates a dead edge and possibility of overshadowing.

The western edge creates the biggest opportunity for successful urban and social integration.

GROUND FLOOR CONTEXT When the cracking experiment was done a large amount of space was opened on the ground floor level. This is a direct response the exciting context of the site. The western edge will become the most social interactive zone hence the large opening to draw the public into and up the building. The northern edge will also have a entrance due to the large commercial presence from all the corporate influences along ameshof. The ground floor becomes an extension of the building on the first and second floor.

Extending the ground floor public space into the building will allow for more impromptu meeting and increase the social vitality in and around the site.

ISOVER Multi-Comfort House Students Contest Project description: The required brief was to develop a vision for a community development located in the perimeter of the Krasny Dvor Belarus Russia district. The territory is conceptually proposed to be developed on the principle of quarters modules. Area of interest can be seen below. It is formed from 2 modules. The module is a structural and planning element with the area of 15-20 ha, the territory of which is confined over the perimeter by main district arteries and broken down inside by district streets. The module is a relative autonomous element of the urban structure, within which the apartment blocks, institutions and social amenities, educational and upbringing institutions as well as production facilities. The blocks of apartments are provided with parking places (at the underground level); the guest parking lots are located outside the yards of residential houses within the module boundaries. The first story (ground floor) is used predominantly for public functions. The main characteristics of a module are: 1. Reduction of the number of building levels. 2. Increase of the density and intensity. 3. Using the first stories for social and cultural-domestic services as well as performing the educational functions. 4. Using the underground space or first floor (ground floor) for parking places. 5. Organizing the environment-friendly manufactures and workplaces within walking distance. 6. Multi-functionality and diversity (availability of residential, production, cultural, entertainment, public, administrative, business, landscape, recreational, sports, educational, medical,shopping and cultic functions). 7. Green space: at least 30% One module consists of approximately 14 quarters, mostly identical constructions and surfaces of approx. 125*75 m (1 hectare) for 1 quarter. For the analyzed residential area there are two types of quarters: Plot 1: Townhouses (row houses) with a low density -- Between 1 to 3 floors, 20-40 houses in the quarter -- 1 parking place per family -- First floor can be used for retail and office space -- 70-150 persons\ha (for one quarter) -- Green space: at least 30%

Design

Plot 2: Multifamily houses with a medium density -- 3-5 floors, â&#x20AC;&#x153;high-rise accentsâ&#x20AC;? allowed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; till 8 floors -- 1 parking place per family -- First floor facing the street - shopping facilities, offices, parking. -- Rest of the floor: residential -- 150-200 persons\ha (for one quarter) -- Green space: at least 30% Project group consisted of 3 members = Paul Tatham, Kyle Hollis, Steven Moore

COMFORT P LUS DESIGN AP P ROACH Comfort in a building is about: Natural light, Temperature, Natural ventilation, Acoustics, Social interaction, Views, Natural environments, Access. These are the first steps taken toward creating a comfortable building, but essentially all this does is prevent discomfort. Comfort is truly feeling at home, it’s being with the ones you love. Comfort is intangible. Harmonising the tangible and intangible aspects of an experience creates a truly comfortable space. This is a space that engages the occupant through all of their senses. This is COMFORT PLUS. To understand COMFORT PLUS as the Mulit-Comfort House, I will explain each of the different scales of our proposal:

Urban The original master plan is modified as the high speed road that split the site in two, is moved to the north. The placement of other roads is maintained. The site is then sliced up at 15° intervals, creating nodes and giving functions to certain axes. A BOULEVARD is the central artery, ROADS run within and around modules, STREETS make up the interior networks, and GATEWAYS act as entry points into each plot. Program can then be assigned more accurately for the following modules: Retail, Commercial, Housing, Educational, Community, Green space. This street organization is easy and comfortable to navigate and distributed green spaces soften the landscape. Site Plot 1 has a BOULEVARD to the South, ROAD to the East and STREETS to the North and West. Southern orientation and shallow building depth allows for optimal natural light into the building. Edge types inform ground floor form and function. Streets and boulevards encourage social zones from retail function. Noise levels from edges set back the residential functions above. Attention is paid to ‘unwanted

noise’ like vehicles. The interior green space shifts form and enhances views from residential units. The retail space from the boulevard can also expand into this space. Gateways remove ground floor built form and provides access into site and buildings. Lobbies, stairwells and entrances are placed at the gateways, enhancing the community aspect of the site. This also connects private and public space. Solar access manipulates the roof types and pitches. This enables more sunlight into green space. Building The basic building form separates functions from one another. A concrete frame holds the structure of the building. The total building envelope then wraps itself around the structure. The individual envelopes separate functions as circulation on the North acts as a tempered space for retail on ground floor and residential on the South. These spaces can each be controlled individually creating incremental levels of thermal comfort. They are also made with Saint-Gobain Isover products in a lightweight timber framed structure. A typical building section shows that thermal insulation completely covers the building envelop, focusing on homes and retail spaces. Each connection detail deals with thermal bridges, acoustics, ait tightness and moisture to ensure the internal space is as comfortable as possible.

Natural neighbor interpolation is a method of spatial interpolation, developed by Robin Sibson. The method is based on Voronoi tessellation of a discrete set of spatial points. This has advantages over simpler methods of interpolation, such as nearest-neighbor interpolation, in that it provides a smoother approximation to the underlying "true" function.

Rigs -to - [Re]search Underwater or on the moon How do we imagine our cities of tomorrow? We have reached an era where the exponential growth of population, along with the shortage of natural resources and the destruction of the natural environment, is beginning to jeopardize the balance of the planet. Now is the time to start investigating the future of our existing cities and possibly the conceptions of new ones? DESIGN PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Design an intelligent habitable space somewhere out in the ocean or on the Moon for humans to live, play and work. Take into consideration the structural form of how this space is created. Consider how this structural form is influenced by the forces (water pressure, buoyancy, gravity) that it is subjected to.

PROJECT AIMS: The aim of this project is to provoke thinking conceptually about the environment in which they are design. To understand and document the factors which influence the form giving reaction to the landscape/environment. To initiate an engagement with a design that is unmistakably contemporary but relates to its context and there by becomes uniquely place bound (Genus Loci) and to effectively communicate your ideas, research and final resolutions.

CONSTRUCTION PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The internal environment of this structure is very important to SUSTAIN LIFE, and needs to deal with issues such as light, water, air, energy and waste disposal. Develop a systemic approach for cycling oxygen and nutrients using the natural resources of the external environment and the internal inhabitants.

Archigram Theory Seminars

The aim of these theory seminars is to study the link between theory and the built environment from early modernism to contemporary architecture as well as expose students to urbanism and related topics to urbanism while broadening their understanding around issues pertaining to cities, planning and sustainabilities. The gaining of theory knowledge should contribute towards the written theory documentation for each design project. Guiding questions or reading extracts will be provided where possible but your own discoveries of the topics are part of the goal.

GREAT SPECULATIONS | Living Pod by David Green

PROJECT OUTCOMES: -- Grasping functionalism in the light of environmental, spatial design and social humanitarian context -- The social and physical nature of housing, workplace, trade and commerce will be explored in terms of contemporary issues such as cultural context, sustainabilities, health and research. -- Studying the link between theory & the built environment, from early modernism to contemporary. -- Starting with the everyday experience to wider context, building up to complex hybrid situations; -- Reading and studies of architects as designers, currently enjoying a revived status elsewhere in the world, will be explored in terms of local context. This is the time for architecture to regain its lost momentum (in commercial development), in view of the rest of the design world. -- Study of time-bound precedents illustrating process, e.g. contemporary environmental landscapes.

Archigram was a progressive architectural group formed in the 1960s, based at the Architectural Association in London. They drew inspiration from technology in order to create a new reality that was solely expressed through hypothetical projects. The spectacular innovations in technology during the 1960s were for Archigram not just a means to realize projects, but one of their most potent sources of inspiration. Their anticipation of the future was both serious and wondrous. While the architects of the modern movement tried to discover a new dimension to time and space they were limited to static solutions. Archigram view the process itself as a motor capable of giving developments their own accelerating dynamic.

The result of this approach was the highly suggestive imagery of projects such as Walking City, living Pod and plug in city. They sent out a signal witch spoke of a revolutionary vision, a Utopian atmosphere and uncompromising pleasure seeking approach to life. WALKING CITY: Ron Herron proposed building massive, artificially intelligent mobile robotic structures that could freely roam a post-apocalyptic world, moving to wherever the structures’ resources or manufacturing abilities were needed.

Archigram produced buildings that could change like a change of mind, like the development of an idea. Their architecture was a direct output of what you could think. They laid claim to the true spirit of modernism. As opposed to the imitation of it that provided at the time.

41 Cooper Square Precedent Study

The aim of this project is to investigate a precedent study of a good building that can inform the design of ones own project. This project introduces one, through ones own study, to large and complex buildings, which is the focus of this course. It is intended as an opportunity for one to explore and express ones enjoyment and understanding of complex multi-storey architecture. Choose a building that one likes, dislike, admires, hate, or interests you in some way. This building can be anywhere in the world and designed by any architect you choose. It must however be a project of enough significance to have been published, and you must have access to enough information to complete this projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s requirements. PROJECT OUTCOMES: This project will lay the foundation for the precedent chapter of your mini Thesis document. At the end of the project you should be able to: -- Analise, understand & critique a contemporary mixed use project in considerable detail. -- Synthesize & apply this information to your own complex mixed-use Thesis project. -- Engage in critical seminar critique about contemporary design & urban design in context.

41 Cooper Square, the new academic building for The Cooper Union, aspires to manifest the character, culture and vibrancy of both the 150 year-old institution and of the city in which it was founded. The institution remains committed to Peter Cooper’s radically optimistic intention to provide an education “as free as water and air” and has subsequently grown to become a renowned intellectual and cultural center for the City of New York. 41 Cooper Square aspires to reflect the institution’s stated goal to create an iconic building – one that reflects its values and aspirations as a center for advanced and innovative education in Art, Architecture and Engineering URBAN CONTEXT: 41 Cooper Square aspires to reflect the institution’s stated goal to create an iconic building – one that reflects its values and aspirations as a center for advanced and innovative education in Art, Architecture and Engineering. The two buildings are similar in scale since both are built out to their limits and encompass the entire block. Also, the ground levels are visibly accessible to the public.

This internal atrium forms the social heart of the building and allows for impromptu and planned meetings , student gatherings, lectures, and the intellectual debate that defines the Academic environment. Carefully attention is payed to the ground floor interaction with the public and the surrounding context. This is also a big influencer when the program placement of the ground floor was made. The double volume entry lobby invites the public to take part in the public function located on the lover levels these include an exhibition gallery, board rooms and a 200 seat auditorium. From the ground floor the grand staircase terminates on the fourth floor in a student lounge overlooking the city. The fifth to the ninth house the more formalized program.

The program placement was also highly Dependant on the solar study of the surrounding buildings. Overshadowing will dramatically decrease the conceptual outcome if collaborative spaces were to be overshadowed. CIRCULATION: Per floor open passages situated around the central atrium allows for circulation between spaces. For vertical circulation the primary grand staircase that only allows for circulation up to the fourth floor. Sky bridges span the atrium to create connections between these informal spaces and connect the fourth to sixth and seventh to ninth floors.

A Skip-Stop elevator system allows for the stops only to be on the first, fifth and eighth floors. Thus it encourages the users to use the grand staircase and the sky bridges.

SERVICING AND FIRE SAFETY: Because of the large atrium that rises the entire height of the building it would essentially split the building in half and acts as a chimney that would bring fire and smoke throughout the building.

The secondary structure allows for the integration between the structure and the outer skin. The steel connection make it possible for the facade to be flexible in depth and flair out towards the ground floor to allow people into the space.

Mormhosis implemented egress pathways and fire isolation strategies to deal with the fire safety. In the case of a fire the atrium would be sealed off and routing egress pathways around the atrium to the fire stairs.

Urban Interchange

Route [move] - Moment [pulse] - Place [belonging] This project seeks to move students’ thought process through-and-beyond accepted and binding definitions in architecture and urbanism. Finite definitions are useful in describing exact conditions, however when terminology becomes canon, and remains unquestioned, there is a chance that one may begin to separate realities. By fixating on classification, division and separation we risk overlooking the dynamic interfaces where these singular strands weave, loop, wind and snap. In this brief you are challenged to unpack constructed definitions, not simply as limited descriptions of understanding, but rather as multiple, varying aspects that shift and change. This project intends to challenge (even undermine) these traditional assumed limitations of urban categorisation and explore overlapping elements of urban fabric; people groups, spaces, places, networks, seen, unseen, defiant. PROJECT BRIEF: The design challenge is to engage the needs for dwelling and livelihood (at varying scales). The design of site and surrounds should be such that it should be easily identified as a well located urban arrangement of multiple programmes whilst maintaining a balanced inclusive consideration of diverse urban dwellers/users. Students’ approaches must incorporate previous design drivers (Shelter. Landscape. Topography. Topology. History. Meaning. Networks. Connections.) as influences to observation, design, and realization - engaging with the complex nature of this precinct in Johannesburg. SUGGESTED BUILDING PROGRAM: -- A museum/gallery & performance space – outdoor, allweather gathering space -- An arrangement of dwellings; students, young families, artists, business people, artisans, etc (min 5 typologies should be considered – can be repeated as ‘typical) -- A central studio/workshop/discussion space (related to the above) in which larger groups of public residents can interact -- A crèche for the children of the building’s residents and employees -- Hospitality spaces, including cafes, restaurants and bars (and any other urban amenities deemed necessary) -- Commercial space for offices (3 floors with shared volumes, access, services) -- Public spaces (smaller and larger spaces may be considered). -- An open air cinema (publically accessible) -- Spaces for trade and adaptive user defined uses -- Parking to support the program -- A defined transport drop-off/pick-up zone (pedestrian link to BRT with added opportunity and amenity).

C O N C E P T UA L D E V E L O P M E N T: MOVEMENT: The movement model was to explore the how different entities can form a single relationship around a point The complexity of a connection node has a direct relation to the amount of auxiliary influences on the point For this node to function efficiently auxiliary points need to be segregated onto different streams. This segregation should take place in section rather than in pion view This will save space and form into a complex nodal point

CIRCULATION: When considering the circulation of a nodal hub/ interchange point the flow from one platform to another will the most important aspect to be considered. For people to move through o multi-faceted point o very limited amount of constraints can be placed on the space The freedom to move should be limited within a centralized space of circulation although still remaining strict with regards to movement between platforms

Fold out Page

CONNECTION: For the connection model the concept of the point to point and the hub and spoke typologies working as a hybrid system would be explored Looking at how multiple elements con be connected at a point and then the newly formed base point can be connected to multiple others. This was of connection would decrease to connection network in physical space but at the some time keep the efficiency o how people con move through on urban fabric

PROJECT OU TCOME: All the principals of interchange that was explored, was combined into elements that will need to work together to make the interchange function as a system. Starting to consider witch of the explored elements needs to work together and where and how these will work together as a montage was made to diagrammatically explain the main drivers of these elements. Circulation and movement around a central node Merging the points of interest overlaps the connections started forming spaces and tends that will allow the intended programmatic and concept specific outcome that was stated in development of the project and interchange

The lifelessness of a city that will eventually have no inhabited entities will force the growth of a new realm for infrastructure to flourish The mass transportation systems will create high efficiency for the city to work in parallel with the inevitable urban sprawl. Where infrastructure, economics and urban living meets will generate a node that will develop into o highly efficient interchange that will marry all the forces deforming the current urban environments.

Abstract – Design - Document – Build/Assess This project will be conducted over the remaining portion of the year. It will be broken into 4 distinct, but inter-related sections, each relating strongly to the main design brief. Whereas in the first half of the year, we focused primarily on construction documentation, for this project we will start with an analysis and abstraction process, before moving into the more ‘practical’ components of design and construction documentation. This documentation will not be an end in itself, but will rather serve as the basis for physical construction of a critical aspect of the chosen design. This construction will happen with actual materials at full scale. Finally, we will conclude with a comprehensive retrospective assessment of the entire project. -- Design (& document) – 3 weeks – individual or pairs – Design an urban integration/amenity based on the brief you generated for the charette. As always, the design process should involve thinking about the construction process. Note that you will potentially be physically constructing your design so it must therefore be practical, buildable and affordable. -- Document (& design) – 2 weeks – individual or pairs – Document the construction process for the design of your urban integration/amenity. Documentation should include drawings, a written specification, a priced bill of quantities, a construction program, and a list of suppliers -- & Subcontractors along with their details. At the end of this stage, the entire class will vote on the projects to be physically constructed. Details of this process will be provided with the brief. -- Build/Assess – 5 weeks – Form groups of various sizes (depending on the complexities of the designs) and physically construct your urban integration/amenity based on the documentation produced in the previous stage. This process will be performed using actual materials at full scale. Once the construction is complete, assess the realization of the project. What worked well and what needs to be improved? How would you do it differently next time around? How did the group function? Did some people carry the group while others coasted by?

The design challenge is to re-imagine an interface between street and site as museum and sign, a symbolic surface and kiosk of collected information. The re-imagining of the ‘edge’ will call for it to transform the divide as an interwoven image of the area, the signifier. Simultaneously you must deal with the ground plane and the invisible volume bound by pavement edge. In this space you are tasked to design a site-specific museum, the signified. This architecture should emerge from the re-reading, analysis, extraction and synthesis of spatial and tectonic concepts evolving in the series of drawings.

The interface and surrounding components should respond to various realities in the area. The architecture should communicate the complex and diverse nature of this in some legible way (expressed spatially, tectonically or through information). The interface and site extent should become a place and space that communicates through its experience at varying scales – person, people, neighborhood, spine, city. Likewise the building program can range from diverse to singular - refining the programmatic requirements to a more relevant and contextual response.

VENEER PAINT OF TABLE TOP AND WOODEN BENCH SNAGS AND FIXES

DESIGN REQUIREMENTS: The design scheme must deal with the site and edge as a considered extent – addressing the ideas of edges and separation, connectivity, urban amenity, etc. The architectural program should incorporate: -- A museum and archive (information point) -- A gathering space -- A NEW PUBLIC function/service/opportunity -- A parcel on a route -- The programmatic ‘footprint’ must include the interior and sidewalk as a spatial and surface extension of the chosen interface.

S I T E L O C AT I O N :

The enock sentonga road site was chosen since when looking at an urban scale at Johannesburg it is evident where all the mine took place and the tangible remnants of the mining era pollutes the skyline of Johannesburg. Thus the evenly embanked northern edge of the side will be a representation of the miners and the southern edge will be the flat open field which creates a platform for possibility and growth such as Johannesburg during the gold rush.

University of Johannesburg

C O N C E P T R E A L I S AT I O N :

The concept that what was once under the ground was used to create what the tangible of what we know today had been used in the singular manner of positive and negative space. The representation of on the northern embankment would be cut away to expose the earth and the history of the miners. The soil and rock witch has been excavated would then be used to form the positive space of what is known today on the southern edge which represents the possibility and opportunity of Johannesburg.

Ghosting the past on the present would be an effective way to create a space that will have no tangible remembrance but the past pressed into / onto it. By outlining the positive and the negative of the se spaces it becomes clear to what the past was and what the present is. The relation between the past and the present creates an intangible connection with the present day user. This project shows how the connection between these elements can be very strong without any physical connection.

Braamfontein Cemitry Grown from the earth, Hung from the sky

Cemeteries can be read as traces of a city A library of stories, an archive of artifacts, individuals and events that begin to narrate the makings of our city, the origins of our society. Braamfontein cemetery encloses a variety of clues to our history and beginnings with stories of triumph, struggle, diversity., and change woven into an elaborate layered and visual landscape that in some way captures the delightful and fearsome evorufion of Johannesburg. BRIEF: The task is to design a space that reconnects the now and then - a space that allows for remembrance and contemplation - an architecture that articulates ‘duality’; before and beyond, earth and sky, the physical and the intangible. The scheme must emerge through intensive engagement with the site. A response to real concerns and constraints while simultaneously including more poetic spatial and philosophic aspects - a critical inquiry to architectural languages - an architecture that is “grown from the earth” (much like our city) and a tectonic poetry that is “hung from the sky” (a reference to the intangible). The scheme must respond to the internal or external realms of the site and provide a space for contemplation, rest and comfort (this could be a series of spaces with a variety of experiences) additional specific programmatic requirements will be a product of your architectural inquiry, what are the needs, where is the potential. -- Select a ‘site’ within the larger cemetery, informed by research, physical, spatial and experimental mapping -- Investigate and demonstrate the physical relationship or disconnection between interior and exterior -- Document observations of the site from approach (surrounds) to contact (within) and beyond (intangible) -- From a thorough understanding of the site begin conceptual design -- Programme must be a product of spatial and architectural inquiry -- Explore heavy and light architectural languages and tectonics -- The design must respond to the possible user/s in terms of scale, experience and privacy -- Demonstrate an understanding of the physical notion of topography -- Communicate an engagement with the intangible + metaphysical aspects of spatial articulation (topology) -- Communicate a realistic 30 impression of the design

P R O J E C T P R E FAC E : The unpacking of the design process is a personal extension of yourself. No one person will have the same outlook and findings of a project and will portray many different perspectives, connection and experiences. These different elements will affect the way the process is formed and the inner workings of the result. The design process shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a linear process to work from point A to point B. Not working in a linear fashion promotes the outcome of the process to have a comprehensive understanding and engagement of the brief in relation to the site. The continuous adaptation and alteration of previous dissentions make the final product much richer.

What initiates this process for me is the first encounter with the site that will be conceptualizes in the brief. Experiencing the site with all your senses will give you a true representation of the needs and wants of the undying complexities of the site. For the first site visit the brief and deliverable will not be in mind, thus all the element of the site will be experienced and the findings will not be forced towards something on a final tangible idea/ concept.

Steven John Moore

C O N C E P T M AT E R I A L I Z I N G :

The initial encounter with the site reviled a strong feeling of neglection and disremembered individuals. On a tangible observation of the surroundings findings showed that not all the remembered parties on the site had a positive and constructive role in the development of Johannesburg. Further investigation shows that voluminous amount of the allocated spaces were for the miners that was involved in the gold rush of 1886. All of these areas were cleared open spaces with no remembrance value to the miners or their families. The concept of “The Golden miner” is that the miners of the gold rush played an important role, (if not the most important) to the development of what Johannesburg is today. Some of these people with historical relevance was remembered not for constructive influences in the rising of Johannesburg but rather for negative contributions in the development. People that has significant remembrance vary from contributors to the apartheid era, assassins that tried numerous assassinations on presidents of South Africa, murderers and many more. Most of the miners that have been buried on the site to date have no identification to where the bodies was buried and because of the fact that Johannesburg was built on greed from the gold rush the miners become one of Johannesburg’s most valuable commodities. And for this reason the miners should be memorialised the same as all the political and social figures memorialised on the site.

The concept of the golden miner forms a unity of remembrance throughout the site. This will allow the person that experience the journey of progression throughout the site to have the same perspective anywhere on the site, but at the same time experience the development and growth of the city. Forcing the perspective of the user will form the unity of the remembrance and how no single entity formed the history of Johannesburg. This forced perspective is the same effect that Peter Eiseman strived for with the construction of the holocaust memorial in berlin. The lack of opticality (visual stimulation with is the most significant sense to preserve architecture) the user will only be preserved by the presence of the space not by the significant of the material or the structure of the surroundings. The perspective will be created by a uniform grid on the entire site, where after all the existing tomb stones will be removed and be replaced by 300mm x 300mm steel coulombs. These coulombs will be placed on the grid in such a fashion that no matter where the user finds themselves along the route on the site the perspective will stay the same at any given time. This Project created an intangible connection between the past and the present by creating a journey for the user to experience any different perspectives of the history of Johannesburg’s development from many different viewpoints of the diverse elements Johannesburg is made out of.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;it is necessary to return to the point where the interplay of light and dark reveals form, and in this way to bring richness back into architectural spaceâ&#x20AC;? Tadao Ando (1990). The task: Choose a site on Bunting Road Campus on to which to design a sacred/ a series of sacred space/s for FADA UJ students that cater for a multi spiritual denomination. Your design must critically consider form, light, symbolism, geometry, scale and proportion. The footprint of the structure may not be more than 100m2. Outcomes and assessment criteria By successfully completing this project you will exhibit your ability to: -- Approach design from a very conceptually driven process -- Question structural concepts, materiality and tectonics -- Appreciate the use of light in architecture -- Articulate how different materials and junctions connect -- Respond sensitively to scale -- Deconstruct and reconstruct your understanding of form in architecture.

Modular Mixed use student accommodation This brief investigates the idea of modular design – a well considered “unit” that can be arranged in relationships to other similar units, creating in-between and edge spaces that become integral to the architectural and urban approach. The Precinct Once familiar with various site conditions and possibilities you will be able to make informed decisions about “the bigger picture”, being the precinct – by defining constraints and illustrating possibilities at this scale you will generate a set of design rules that will impact the design of the unit. By knowing how a number of these units could occupy the site and connect to each other in different ways you can approach the design of a single unit with a modular growth and arrangement in mind. The Unit Consider this a single part of a possible-many. The design of this unit must enable adjacent positioning and potential connectedness, resulting in an interesting complex whole. Your challenge here is to avoid mundane repetition. With the inclusion of in-between and edge spaces, combined with minor tweaks and adjustments to your unit you should generate an overall micro neighborhood that inspires both individual identity and community. Select a starter site within your development framework. Using this site design a concept for a modular unit made up of 3 basic levels; 00_ground- retail, 01_1st- commercial/studio, 02_2nd- residential.

Th e E n t r a n c e Oppositions and Overlaps

The 1st design challenge was situated in a non-space, a hypothetical landscape that was developed through a personal abstract reflex to the question posed in the brief. This project will take you out of the studio and into the campus. You will be tasked to interrogate, analyse and respond to a physical condition – moving from subjective and willful experimentation to a more considered approach to the making of space and place. As an extension to one of the project themes – opposition – two sites have been selected as the context for this brief: Site A [TOP] – parking threshold (more specifically the level change from the student parking lot to the pavement and across the road. Site B [BOTTOM] – Eastern no-man’s land (the left over space between the eastern envelope of the 1st year studio and Annet road. Each of these sites present various challenges that have both similarities and contradictions. The first stage in this project is to study these two, simultaneously, similar and opposing conditions with the aim to extract design tools that will be translated through the design process. Your analyses must look at; physical conditions that are fixed/static components AND fluid elements. As a parallel process to this site analysis you must stay alert to the experiential aspects of the site, with particular attention to the themes for this project OPPOSITIONS and OVERLAPS.

AREAL EMPIRE: The Aerial Empire complex is a collection of six ervens and seven old buildings. Once home to hat making factories in the 1930â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and later Aerial Manufacturers, whom this building takes its name inspiration from, the buildings have today retained their industrial purpose. Propertuity acquired the building in 2013 and has developed the space into a mixed-use residential, retail and manufacturing opportunity for creatives. The buildings of Aerial Empire are an eclectic combination of styles as the spaces organically grew together over time. This represents the nature of the different and unique uses within the buildings. In the redevelopment this diversity has been maintained and is the source of inspiration. The buildings facade has become an extension of the artists canvas where murals have been commissioned to fill the courtyard which forms the central communal space.
