COLLECTIVE HOUSING PROJECT HEL 621S ASSIGNMENT 2 KAINO ANTINDI 219033641
EVERY DAY LIFE Social context of their project At first glance one would say that the complex is very active due to the amount of apartments gathered together on this one piece of land, but this is not the case in Ishmael Court. The everyday life of an Ishmael Court residence is quiet private. One of the tenants says that it is a result of the very strict rule from the landlord. Noise pollution is strictly prohibited. Unauthorised vehicles are not allowed on the premises. If there are visitors they have to call their people whom they came to visit to open for them. Spatial layout Due to the nature of the site terrain the design of the housing complex was stepped to establish a good foundation. There are six rows of apartments with three sets of two facing each other. There are two security guard rooms that help regulate and control the movement in and out of the complex. There is a shared trash collection site where all the wheelly bins are gathered. Another shared facility is the laundry area where they are located within the vicinity of the apartment blocks. Everyday Life
According to my analysis, we find that most of the interac ons that take place are along the shared stairs and balcony. Here people stop to greet one another and have a quick chat. Some of the tenants sell ice lollies and other snacks to generate extra income for themselves. This also increases the chances of neighbour encounters. Just a walking distance away from the complex is a tuck shop where some people go buy small necessi es because the supermarkets are quite far from the complex. There is also a vendor down the road who sell vegetables, spices and some snacks. One of the tenants commutes daily to work but foot and as well to the nearest shopping centre Woerman Brock which is in Tauben Glen. The children who live in this complex don’t really have a spaces dedicated for them to play, even though they can make any space a play area.
