Refugee Centre

Concepts: - Integrating programme into one as one makes their way up the building.

- Separating public and private to accommodate for privacy of residents.

- The building provides the foundation for refugees to form new relationships and confidence within this new space they call home and allows for integration of people.

Primary functions: Separate forms become integrated.

Secondary functions: Open courtyard in centre activates human interaction and a serene atmosphere.

“The concept allows programme and form to integrate the relationships of people using the space.”

District Six Row Houses

Concepts: Confronts the mixed uses of residential and commercial life and creates a space for both to flourish together.

Primary functions: Commercial life happen s on ground floor along the streets, addressing the high street of ”Hanover” directly.

Secondary functions: Residential life happens above ground floor.

“The concept brings back that lost feeling of community by creating a multi-purpose space open for community markets and living.”

UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN

CONCEPT: The design was inspired by Weissenhof Row houses by J.J.P Oud, Stuttgart, Germany 1927 through its double volumes and interior circulation.

The site poseses a strong sense of pedestrian life.

These routes are crucial for circulation.

It confronts the mixed uses of residential and commercial life and creates a space for both to flourish together. .

Concepts: Respecting history and building between.

Primary functions: Entrance buildings act as gateway to the main space.

Nursery School (Langa)

Concepts: - Separating public and private functions.

- Staggered composition of buildings to create a series of thresholds and corridors which lead smaller private playgrounds into the main public playground.

Primary functions: - Children's nursery ages 1-5 years.

-The age provided classroom are positioned closer to the end playground from the entrance, as one gets older.

“The concept comprises of a series of thresholds and staggering spaces in order to lead children towards growth.”

The site is a tennis court along the main tourist hub in langa. This area is extremely public with public surrounding buildings such as: Vamos (Township Tourism Services) Gugu S’thebe (Arts and Culture Centre) Access from the street corner would be very successful as it facilitates pedestrian interaction. I also separated public and private functions initially and placed my playground at the end corner visible as you enter.

I was inspired by IKC Zeeen/Moke Architecten in Neathelands. I was Inspired by the staggered continuous factory like roof of this kindergarten along with its façade and linearity.

Had an interest in cutting into the ground to create a change in levels to emphasis certain views and private functions

I set up the geometry of my building to ground the surrounding haphazard buildings by drawing vertices from my building to the others and by setting up a grid.

I manipulated this geometry to emphasis the linearity of the E-W axis of Washington Street which formally set up the township of Langa

Staggering composition of spaces to open into playgrounds

- A series of private courtyards along with the main playground space.

This creates a threshold as one gets older they make their way through a series of age provided playgrounds before they get to the main playground.

- Used linear lines to set up Hierarchy of space. Various sized in-between spaces would serve for different functions of importance.

Larger spaces: Emphasis spaces of learning (classrooms; library; hall) Smaller Circulation; and toilets.

-Interested in creating a series of staggering throughout the building including the roof.

- The roof would have the impression of a continuous roof throughout which will create this “gallery wall” which creates a curtain along Washington Street.

- Factory like - Light Access Device

spaces: offices

- Internal corridors leading to the main playground space along with private playgrounds. It also enables constant views of the main playground space and the mountains.
