The implications of integral theory on sustainable designRoberts, Saglinda Hallett 02 December 2014 (has links)
<p> This thesis explores Wilber's Integral Theory and DeKay's adaptation of the theory to sustainable design to discover a design process with the potential to advance the design professions toward a more holistic, restorative approach to sustainable design. The contribution and influence of architects, interior designers, and engineers on the personal and social welfare goes beyond aesthetics, visual interest, or function. The environments being designed today shape how people will live and function in the future. Integral Sustainable Design is concerned with holistically addressing the quality, equity, beauty and efficiency of the built environment. It argues that if sustainable design is to be a transformational force touching personal experience, cultural perspective, energy efficiency, and the ecosystem, it will need to become restorative. </p><p> This thesis provides an overview of the validity, feasibility and methodology of applying Integral Theory to Sustainable Design, to create a theoretical, ideological basis informing the sustainable design process. This thesis will increase awareness of integral theory by summarizing its principles and demonstrating the applicability to sustainable design and the validity to the profession as a whole. A design exercise will illustrate the difference between having a single, inherently biased view verses a comprehensive, holistic view of sustainable design. Four individual houses will be designed, each exploring one quadrant of DeKay's Integral Sustainable grid exclusively. A fifth house will synthesize all of the integral design principles. A comparison is then made to discern any difference in outcomes. All designs are based on the same client design directives, and use the same site. The comparative analysis seems to show that the integral approach can lead to an enhanced experience of nature, history, beauty with efficiency that exceeds Net Zero consumption </p>

Between boundaries: a new border post at BeitbridgeTrollip, Daniel Charles Fulton 04 November 2014 (has links)
Thesis (M.Arch. (Professional))--University of the Witwatersrand, Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment, School of Architecture and Planning, 2013. / The current perception that engulfs borders and their posts is one of fear, apprehension and
hostility. The essay seeks to formulate a new approach through which to view a border. Borders are
places of cultural collision and richness, forming a type of hybrid, described best through the
metaphor of theatre. This exploration is divided into three topics, namely security, immigration and
the human experience, and culture and the border as theatre. Conceptual architectural projects by
Lebbeus Woods, Office KGDVS and Rem Koolhaas are examples of how this thinking can be realised
through architectural possibilities.
It is therefore the intention of this thesis to express these ideas through the proposal of a new
border post at Beitbridge, situated between South Africa and Zimbabwe. The development of no
man’s land, or the ‘Space of Cultural Possibilities’ provides an opportunity to create a platform
where the random encounters between travellers is encouraged. The transition from one country to
another becomes a vibrant an unanticipated experience that seeks to shift the negative perception,
built on fear, illegality and the questioning of one’s identity, to one that exposes the cultural richness
of a place where multitudes of nationalities are filtered through a single gateway.
