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.
