INTRODUCTION:

At the very core of Frankfurt, on a site that has been inaccessible for the last 45 years, four new high-rise towers will change Frankfurt’s skyline from the air, while cultivating its liveliness on the ground. The development of these towers, reaching heights of 228 meters, will open up new streets to create a multi-use, vibrant inner-city quarter, bringing together a healthy mix of work, living, relaxation and recreation.

The choice of programmes allows for a smooth transition from Frankfurt’s shopping district to the east of Roßmarkt, to the high-rise office towers clustered around Park Taunusanlage. With a development concept that is unique to Europe, the FOUR Frankfurt project brings together facilities that will establish a lively new neighbourhood for Frankfurt, its visitors and its (future) residents.

UNIVERSITY OF THE WITWATERSRAND

MArch (Prof) THESIS

SOCIAL FICTION

SPECULATIVE DESIGN THESIS

INTRODUCTION:

The aim of this dissertation is to explore alternative ways of looking at architecture through the use of theory, the type of theory, alternative building programme development, representing architecture and how architecture is implemented. By doing so, an intervention is designed to expose various social truths, stimulating self reflection and adding value to the Alexandra-Sandton corridor context.

The intervention acts as a commentary on the future connection of the two contrasting communities for spectacle and self-reflection, transcending the everyday experience into a surreal playground through virtual reality and other means.

Architecturally, Social Fiction has three main design strands

1. Theoretical exploration;

2. Architecture as emotional stimulus;

3. Virtual reality as fictional representation.

Social Fiction is a project that bridges architecture, politics, socio-economics and philosophy, using the medium of virtual reality and comic book fantasy as an open and accessible way.
