Murray, Jarryd 27 January 2014 (has links)
M.Tech. (Architectural Technology) / The aim of the design of the dissertation is to create a transient and exclusive public organization in Ballito. Which is rapidly developing coastal town on the north of Kwa-Zulu Natal North Coast. The development of the framework through the ‘old heart’ of the town is intended to reinstate an identity to a particular place. The infrastructure ruptures the exclusive wall of privatized developments that shape an impenetrable barrier to the other regions greatest assert- the ocean. The space will serve all members of the community as well as seasonal or sporadic visitors and is activated by the imminent identification of its surroundings –and event. The infrastructure will also act as the machine of town – servicing and supplying resources through a sustainable systemic cycle. Unexpected environmental threats are managed in a manner that respects the sensitive coastline. A thorough situation analysis of the region is conducted together with the municipalities IDP. A regional and urban framework is conceptualized to understand the site as an important future node whilst addressing insensitive and myopic development trends of sprawl, exclusivity and segregation.
