Unpacking the Brief

History|Meaning

This project investigates a series of 'Urban Enclaves'. Through an analysis of history and meaning, past and present we are tasked to unwrap any evident and disconnected linkages with the context and meta-narratives within Johannesburg. Part of the analysis a focus on both perceived and actual communities, as well as their associated and definitive landscapes/nodes.

I proceeded to extract the really engaging ideas, ideals and guides out of the brief. I took these words and connected them with relevance to the brief as a whole. This revealed some principles, links and foci to take forward to the site selection and analysis.


Brief Unpacking Web
Urban enclaves, connections to surrounding fabric, perceived and actual communities, communal gathering space, trade fringe, history and meaning, public function, information point and route and their associations/links are the principles that will form the fundamental drive going forward in this project.
