North-east of Braamfontein in Johannesburg lies what used to be an oppressive prison precinct which experienced almost a century of South Africa’s political history. Recently after the introduction of democracy it became a ‘beacon of hope’ what is more commonly known today as Constitution Hill. It hosts the highest court of our democratic nation, the Constitutional Court. A stone’s throw away, Hillbrow. It is a stigmatized neighbourhood plagued by crime and urban squatting and urban decay. This dissertation addresses the ongoing disparities within a continuum to achieve justice. It is assumed that by restoring this unwanted neighbourhood of Hillbrow, the light of Constitution Hill may enlighten this dark part of the city to become a part and productive a contributor to a just city. The Dispute Resolutions Centre will act as a mediator in resolving some of the injustices that face South Africa today, through the procedures of restorative justice. The intention of the project is to fulfill the virtue of justice within the area of the home of the constitution of our democracy. / Mini Dissertation MArch(Prof)--University of Pretoria, 2018. / WMS Architects / Architecture / MArch(Prof) / Unrestricted
