This portfolio presents how I use strategies and tactics of re-appropriation as a methodology to understand ideas of public space contextualised in Johannesburg and what are knowledge and experience I have learnt via this process. In addition, it includes not only my individual work, thinking and contribution but also group work.
Through this Project 1, I attempt to consider the city as a fixed order embodying physical and social factors and explore the definition and form of public space.
Johannesburg as a quintessential African city has an own specific context that it has experienced transforming the apartheid city into the post-apartheid city. Nowadays, with its developing globally, there are increasingly different races, social class and nationality working and living here. Despite the construction of modern high-rise building and the urban regeneration of the inner city, there is still a lack of a safe and accessible public space.
