As part of the socio-technical development undertaken in the design process of the Rehoboth Family and Community Centre it is important to address the significance of input from both the design team and the community.
The development of the Brief:
The group understood the Pastor's vision and developed it into a manifesto that we labelled as the client brief. this encompasses the direction and ideal of the permanent beneficiary.
We then refined and debated these ideals to establish a time scale of implementation, based on funding, value and necessity.
These ideals were challenged by the design team and the every-day user of the space through community participation sessions on site-visit days, the information collected was then distilled into what we called the user brief.
the user brief helped us establish the actual beneficiaries of the site and this allowed us to begin addressing the fundamentals of the concept.
The concept was the driver for establishing an architectural brief. This document is still under process and the content thereof will continue to change as the concept challenges the user, client, architects, and site values.
The design process:
The process has been slow, however, no wrong turns have been made. Generic to the nature of design every questioned decision derived positive feedback. At this point design of the community centre is being used as a tool to question the values of site, client ideals, architectural response and user wishlist.
