Meeting with Nkhensani and lecturers
Yesterday afternoon we had the chance to present our
modifications and adaptions of our group design to Nkhensani. After various
iterations of the layout and design, we have finally reached a design to
investigate further and add additional residence according to the client’s
needs.

It is important to reflect work done and document it to
indicate process whilst keeping the inherent qualities of various tested ideas.
After we have finalised the design, the focus will be to create user friendly
manuals to understand the building and all of its components. These need to be legible
and simple diagrams communicating the core of the idea. We (the students) have
soon learnt of the misunderstanding of architecture in terms of understanding
what is trying to be communicated and that the conventional method of
presenting architectural plans is unilateral.
Our aim for the following week will be to capture the
essence of the design(s) and communicating it in an accessible manner to the
people who we are designing for. The people of the Rehoboth Family and
Community Centre is after all the generator for every decision and is included
in every step.
