A consolidation of a new Pondo resource forum, Emfundisweni, Flagstaff : creating a place that is not only expressive of culture, but that also actively participates in shaping it.

Description

Thesis (MTech. degree in Architecture)--Tshwane University of Technology, 2011. / The dissertation is a design of a Pondo Resource Forum for the Mpondo ethnic group at Emfundisweni in Flagstaff in the Eastern Cape. This is driven by a social commitment to investigate the forces that were influential to the cultural modification of Amapondo. Also important is to celebrate Pondo heritage, the indigenous social interventions that define the identity of Amapondo, as well as contemporary culture and the influence of technological development input on the traditional Pondo social structures.
