GROUP PROJECT: UIA - Student competition - Architecture otherwhere

The UIA student competition aims to recognise the complex systemic ecology that underpins the economic, cultural and social dynamics inherent to Warwick, and to find ways to strengthen, reinforce or expand these systems in a beneficial way - with the aim to emphasise and celebrate the various forms that contribute to the unique identity of Durban through the question of OTHERWHERE.
The task was to explore and translate "OTHERWHERE" into a project proposal, which aims to suggest processes of intervention and models of community participation, in light of the following themes: RESILIENCE, ECOLOGY, VALUES. The project had to include three graphic products:
- 1: the development of a long-term - Large scale vision of Warwick Junction
- 2: the development of a medium-term - Medium scale intervention on one edge of the brook street cemetery
- 3: a short-term / immediate - Small scale intervention as urban catalyst in Warwick Junction
