Thesis (MTech. degree in Architecture: Professional)--Tshwane University of Technology, 2012. / The proposed design responds to the identified current need for new police headquarters situated in the Pretoria West district. The Pretoria West police department currently functions from three different buildings located several kilometres apart from one another. The objective therefore is to design an appropriate new police headquarters for the Pretoria West precinct. The building must accommodate all departments in one, properly functioning facility, which conforms to the needs of a police station to have controlled and private areas. The building aims to reflect this new approach to policing by creating a community orientated facility.

Thesis (MTech. degree in Architecture: Professional)--Tshwane University of Technology, 2012. / This design dissertation deals with the creation of a DNA Database reservoir for the South African Police Services (SAPS) in Rustenburg and the Northwest Province at large. The project acts as a catalyst for the creation of a national DNA Database for the purpose of matching crime scene evidence with the profiles on the database to link possible suspects, victims and to exonerate innocent individuals. Since the proposed facility will form part of a national network, it will serve as a regional bank for the said province. A Forensic DNA laboratory is proposed at the foot of Kwaggapan Hill in the city of Rustenburg, a location of historic significance and scenic imagery that has been stained by acts of crime. For the maximum efficiency of the functions of the facility, the building programme explores the use of two contrasting facilities that are interconnected with specific functional requirements to work together as one.
