The role of textiles in sustainable South African residential architectureDe Flamingh, Francois January 2011 (has links)
Thesis (MTech (Design))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2011 / Sustainable architecture prescribes the conscious consideration and active contemplation of
ways of meeting the housing needs of humans while attempting simultaneously to prevent
our consumption patterns from exceeding the resources at our disposal. Sustainability in the
built environment is infinitely complex as the very nature of modern architecture is based
upon the extraction and exploitation of finite natural resources to feed a linear system
ultimately ending in the depletion of those resources and the destruction of the ecosystem
from which they are excavated. When considering built environments, the most visible and
measurable components of any sustainable design is its ecological and economic
sustainability. Social sustainability, on the other hand is of an unquantifiable nature, making
it a most contentious topic in design and development discourse.
This thesis uses a systems approach to sustainable architecture as a lens to focus on the
practical applications of structural concepts made possible by the integration of textiles in the
built environment and examines possibilities of adapting and incorporating vernacular and
low-tech textile-based construction methods into contemporary sustainable architecture.
More specifically, it explores the possibilities of using architextiles, or textiles in the building
industry, as a vehicle for advancing sustainable development within the emerging economy
of South Africa with its unambiguous diversity in all three bottom lines of sustainability;
environment (ecology, resources, geography, built environment), society (community,
culture, politics) and economy (employment, wealth, finance, industry, infrastructure,
consumer behaviour).

Arbutus infill : housing on the edgeSaul, David William Lindsay 11 1900 (has links)
The theme of this exploration is the issue of habitability. In its most basic sense, dwilling seems to
be defined by constructions which carry social values of privacy. At the same time, the many
moves of privacying are understood to be relative to public worlds--to the point that ambiguities
persist: the fact that pivate percetions can be exchanged for public ones in the very same spaces.
Uncovering these relative and, at times, opposite realities means that a great deal of importance is
paid to thresholds. By this, I mean the truns in plan, the drops in section, etc. which relate a
sequence of unfolding via devices which stimulate subtleties in mood and awareness.
Issues of public to private (and its opposite, simultaneous inversion) are investigated using the
concept of nested scales . Here, analogous moods shared by movements through scale (eg.
street to courtyard; hall to room) are investigated for their synergy.
Parallel to these social perceptions are investigations which focus on the elemental specifics of
dwellings. What value can hearths be to dwelling? What is a modern control centre for the
household? What are the requirements for the bathing ritual? These types of questions
permeate the general evalutaion of dwelling design. Sutides which detail abstracted, idealised
elements help to inform the larger project-like a kit of parts, they serve as cornerstones which
seed and temper the sequential experience of the dwelling. Ultimately, this abstraction absolves
the need to make "rooms" but rather to compose dwellings via the integration of elements filtered
through public/private dialogues, sequence, and continuity.
The site is bounded by 15th and 16th avenues to the North and South and by Arbutus St. and
the CPR right of way to the west and east, respectively. Its dimenstions are 270 feet in length
and 16 feet and its narrowest, 44 feet and its widest. The site acts as catalyst for the whole project
of fitting in thresholds and elements. Like a sandwich, the site compresses thin, discrete, and
identifiable componete parts into a whole building. The very narrowness of the site forces a
dialogue to surface between the tremendous, double-sided exposure of the building—its public
condition, and the construction of nesting scales of prospect and refuge. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Architecture and Landscape Architecture (SALA), School of / Graduate

House and home in Vancouver: the emergence of west coast urban landscape, 1886-1929Holdsworth, Deryck January 1981 (has links)
This thesis explores the making of the Vancouver residential landscape during the first fifty years after the completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway. A city of uncommon attractiveness set next to sea and mountain, Vancouver offered unusual residential opportunities within a rapidly expanding commercial and industrial city. High wages and cheap land made accessible by the streetcar enabled even very ordinary people to buy or build houses on lots up to eight miles from their place of work. Vancouverites admired the resulting suburban landscape, set away from industry and commerce and providing open space, gardens, and rural flavour. Land and home ownership, amid thereby control over the domestic environment, were important to them; Suburban Vancouver reflected imported values and local opportunities, and both were orchestrated by a property market that was dominated by speculation. These relationships are considered in the first three chapters of the thesis.
The next three chapters deal with house styles in Vancouver, as influenced by builders, pattern books, and architects. Three broad styles are recognized. The first, in the period from 1886 to 1910, were late Victorian designs used for a range of cabins, cottages, frame two-storey houses and mansions. Gingerbread trim, turrets or elaborate porches, mostly acquired from factory or mill along with other building elements, suggest the industrial and American pedigree of houses on the downtown peninsula and proximate suburbs.
A second style, strongly influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement in California, apparently rejected earlier standardized industrial products. The California Bungalow, popular from about 1910 to the mid-1920s, was a simple and open house that emphasized the texture of shingle, rafter, brick and stone. These bungalows were available in one- and two-storey versions and were associated with innovative marketing strategies in California. Mimicking both California styles and real estate practices, Vancouver building contractors added a strongly West Coast element to the city's streetscapes after 1910.
A third style, an explicity English pre-industria1 revival, was a variant of Arts and Crafts influence inspired by English Tudor Cottages and thatched farmhouses. For the city's largely anglo-saxon elite, Tudor mansions were popular; their expansive form and historical detail had been interpreted in North American taste-making centres such as Philadelphia. The same Tudor and thatched cottage motifs, along with other revivalist styles, served smaller houses in the largely middle class suburbs of Point Grey and thereby hinted at estate living, albeit on a small lot.
The significance of these landscape elements is discussed from the perspective of technological change, social values, class relations, and regional distinctiveness. While Vancouver houses were the product of an industrial system, the high level of home-ownership and the successful separation of home and work mark an important stage in the evolution of urban form beyond that of the typical industrial city. The city-as-suburban-landscape, generically available elsewhere on the continent, came to Vancouver with a unique mix of elements that reflect the region's migration patterns, social aspirations and economy. As an exercise in urban historical geography, the thesis also offers a concrete perspective on issues of identity and meaning that are of concern in contemporary human geography. / Arts, Faculty of / Geography, Department of / Graduate
