Landscape Architecture for a mining solution : an exploration of pattern

Mining has a lasting effect on our communities and
urban environments and is especially visible in the City
of Johannesburg. The industrial processes that formed
the gold mine tailings sites and the natural processes that
effect these sites create enchanting port industrial sites.
The current remediation includes either unaccessible
engineered solutions or a site is left derelict and unsafe.
Exploring these processes on the project site, the study
investigated how pattern making, derived form residual
patterns, can inform the landscape for a recreation space.
The combination of natural processes and proposed new
processes to form the basis of a recreational landscape
is explored. / Mini Dissertation ML(Prof)--University of Pretoria, 2018. / Architecture / ML(Prof) / Unrestricted
