ABSTRACT
The current model of complete separation between different industries, buildings and the public, hampers growth and sustainable development within the city. If connections can be identified between several related programmatic elements, can these work together to share and build common resources that benefit all parties involved?
The showgrounds in Pretoria West currently exist as a void in the urban fabric, A large part of its infrastructure built for, and is now mostly only used for the annual Jacaranda Show that will now longer take place there. The role of the agricultural show within the city, however, remains a meaningful part of how the public interacts with the agricultural industry.
In order to prevent the loss of this relationship and the heritage of the showgrounds, how can a new development around the existing Champion ring retain this role as well as build on the concept of connecting related industries and the public?
The main aim of this dissertation was to investigate how architecture can address the interface between the livestock industry, research, education and the public, so that the collaboration between such programs will result in a reduced environmental impact and be of mutual benefit to all parties involved.

The site is divided into four general areas with interlinking courtyards on different levels to separate and connect the various programs.
The Champion ring forms the heart of the project in terms of location and program, as the element that ties the rest of the programmatic elements to each other. The restaurant, being the most public, is separated from the rest of the scheme by the public arcade. The arcade also leads to the entrance lobby for the Champion Ring and auditorium, the second most public part of the scheme.
A garden courtyard acts as a buffer space between the public restaurant and semi private auction and education spaces. The western side of this courtyard drops down a series of stepped seating into the Educational courtyard.
The fourth part is made up of a feedlot and barn forming the southern wing, linked to gene bank and animal courtyard by a ramp passing underneath the second pubic walkway.
Above the gene bank (on the animal courtyard level) is the laboratory, with an entrance on the same level as the public walkway. From this walkway the public can look down onto animal handling areas through a one way widow, to create a visual link without disturbing the cattle while they are being handled.
The plan layout was adjusted to keep the ventilated spaces to a minimum. This was achieved by placing the circulation core, ablutions and service areas separate from the habitable rooms such as the offices, classrooms and auditorium. The solar assisted stack vent stretching the length of the roof is split into sections so that each room or area is ventilated by its own section.
At night certain windows are opened automatically so enable cross ventilation to cool north wing of the building.

URBAN
AIM:
Understanding the area around Burgers Park within the larger context of the city as one would a home. We identified a set of Home Informants which we used as a basis for our investigation and proposed interventions. Emphasis was placed on the people, presented as typical characters in the area, their relationships and how the proposed architectural interventions would affect these relationships
AIM:
Understanding the apartment block typology within the social and historical context of the Pretoria CBD.
The concept of communal living was identified as a way forward in high density urban housing. Using the residential hotel and student accommodation models as presidents, an alternative to the traditional apartment block was proposed which focussed on shared amenities and communal spaces.
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN: URBAN HOUSING
AIM:
Understanding the implications of designing a high density apartment block that strives towards net zero energy and water systems. Building on a critical evaluation of my design from Q2, I investigated all the aspects affecting water and energy use in the building including solar angles, natural cross and solar stack assisted ventilation, solar heat gain, daylighting, PV systems, rainwater harvesting and grey water recycling systems.
AIM:
To develop the discipline of design as a research methodology, through an iterative design process to refine and balance the design technically.
My research question for this quarter was how close can one get to a net zero energy balance in a multi-storey apartment building. I investigated this by running an energy analysis of my previous design (South wing only) and improving on it by means of an iterative design process.
For passive heating, the pre-heated air from the earth tubes (around 18˚C) will be fed into separate Trombe wall cavities on each floor, where the solar heated thermal mass will further warm the air before it is released into the room. The air is then drawn through the space and out by means of the solar stack vent. In summer, the trombe wall is bypassed.
To prevent overheating during months where the trombe wall receives direct sunlight and heating is not desired, the wall can be covered with insulation panels
