The blogging begins...

This is a blog spot for me to blog - blog about my final year at University, my design process and development so that my lecturers and external moderators can "check up" on me. DON'T WORRY I'M WORKING 24/7!


But as it is my blog spot - I will keep my personality alive in it.



So first thing first... my Building! I had problems (and tears) with my first few proposed buildings, the first one was to use the Old Tramway Station. It would have been an ideal location and context for my concept. But ... it wasn't meant to be. Eventually after 4 or 5 buildings I found it! The old Cuthbert's building on the corner of Govan Mbeki Avenue and Britannia Street. Perfectly located in the right context which will interlink with other proximities and in the heart of the CBD's rejuvenation development, which I am very interested and passionate about. So that is the building.


















Now the concept : A performing school of Arts. This includes, drama, music and dance as well as incorporating a film and directing school. Not only will the school provide these principles, but also offer evening workshops in theatre set design, costume design and lighting design, thus providing employment in a specialised industry.
