‘The un-forgotten’ memorial is conceptulized as a space to honour 2500 Black South African service men and women who lost their lives in the First World War, who have never been commemorated before. These men formed part of labour units during the war and are believed to be buried in South Africa, elsewher in Africa and at sea.

This is the Northgate shopping centre, entrance five. Re-development proposal for Broll Property Group. I was tasked at Creative Axis Architects as a new intern to design a suitable proposal. With gathered context and site information, the entrance is a west facing facade and by using a screen as an integral part of the design to prevent heat build up in the building.
