Living Together – Children’s Home in Bertrams
Changing family structures lead to the design of new residential formats. This projects asks you to design a multi unit complex for 12 “new” families on the known site in Bertrams, but this time you have to use the whole site, which is bordering 3 roads: Derby (north), Millbourne (south) and Viljoen (east). 11 of the 12 units will each be used by 4 children and a housemother/ father, whereas one unit will accommodate 5 teenage moms and their babies. Children will be infants up to 18 years. All units will operate independently in their basic set up, however, a number of rooms and facilities will be shared as per recommended programme. Special attention should be given to outdoor space and its integration into the indoor routine. 30-50% of the total complex has to be outdoor space, e.g. patio, courtyard, atrium. The integration of roof gardens if appropriate for the design is commendable.
Requirements residential unit
2x2 children’s bedroom
1 bathroom (shower, bath, 2 sinks, toilet)
1 separate toilet
1 housemother/ father’s bedroom + 1 en suite bathroom
1 kitchen and integrated dining room

1 communal laundry room
1 storage space each for clothes, equipment, dry food, outdoor maintenance
1 communal outdoor space (for meetings, events)
1 communal outdoor place area
1 communal library/ study space
1 communal crèche/ play room (should be accessible from outside to be potentially open to other children as income generator) with 5 toilets and sinks, 1 shower, 1 kitchenette.
Requirements transport
Parking 12 cars (can be underground)
Codes: 30-50% of each dwelling unit has to be void, e.g. patio, courtyard, atrium

Carefully integrate possible winds, sun and rains into your spatial and material development (look at solar energy, water catchment/ re-use etc)
Carefully plan private and communal spaces in order to provide a relevant spatial setting for the urban infill: the children’s home in Bertrams. Take the public interface of the building into consideration in the design process.

definition of poche by a student/ good example
Poche is a style of architecture defined as the thickening of walls to create a subtractive space. Subtractive space is done by carving through a large wall. An example of subtractive space would be the Abu simbel http://www.latech.edu/tech/liberal-arts/architecture/Assets/arch120/ACT%20SEQ%20TWO/AdditiveSubtractive1.jpg. Here the halls and chambers are cut into the walls. Another way of representing poche is by virtual poche. Virtual poche is a spatial and conceptual condition which results from an apparent vestigial memory of the thick walls of ancient building types. “Virtual” refers to the nearly complete carving out of the thickness, rendering the space within the “poche” accessible and usable. Virtual poche is represented by a figural void. It appears to have the large thickness of poched walls but is actually void. an example would be the circle in this structure http://www.latech.edu/tech/liberal-arts/architecture/Assets/arch120/ACT%20SEQ%20TWO/FiguralVoid1.jpg. Poche is a very interesting style. It allows for the creation of unique movements through a building. A passageway can be created by the use of large tall blocks that give the feeling of passing through something such as canyon walls. Poche leads to the ability to create interesting designs and shapes by carving away pieces of the wall to create a room or hall. Such as the example shown here http://www.latech.edu/tech/liberal-arts/architecture/Assets/arch120/ACT%20SEQ%20TWO/Poche%271.jpg. Poche is not only usefull for the shaping of the floor plan of a structure, it is also usefull the design of both the roof and floor. Poche allows you to cut through a structure horizontally to create a flow of movement that is visually pleasing. A way to get light into the structure would be to cut through the thick roof leaving slits that bring light inhttp://www.latech.edu/tech/liberal-arts/architecture/Assets/arch120/ACT%20SEQ%20TWO/Poche%273.jpg

To all 2nd year design students:
The hand in of the urban puzzle was not as bad as the marks might suggest, however, most of the work is unfinished. This is a re-appearing symptom and cannot continue. You have to use your time for the production of design more efficiently, this means that you cannot stay in the conceptual scribble phase for 2 weeks and spend 4 days on the design development. However, as you will work on this project in construction next semester and need a solid base, we decided the following:
It seems a lot of you need another crit. Please fix/ finish you drawings if you know what to do. See the general comments below.
All groups have to pin up on Thursday 30 April as groups of 10. You will get another crit and the possibility to re-hand in at the end of the semester when you have a mark of 45% and above. Students below 45% need to consult me. Deductions to be discussed.
General comments:
Context:
Most of you have not shown that you are building on a slope and a row house. This is something you indicate in your elevation and section
Planning:
Many staircases do not work.
Some of you do not have enough courtyard space (30-50% outside space).
Concept:
Very few of you have understood what a conceptual diagram is supposed to communicate.
Models:
Groups were asked to build a 1:500 model with context and all 10 houses in a row. Only one group has done that.
General model building quality has improved.

Project 4: Urban Puzzle
•Project: Urban Puzzle
•Format: Model 1:1000, 1:500, 1:100, 1:50, Drawings 1:500, 1:100, 1:50
•Medium: Model: Cardboard Drawing: Pencil, Ink
•Dates: Hand Out: MO06April, Crit: THU09,THU16, MO20
Hand In: THU23April
The task of this project is to design 1 row house within a group of 6 in Bertrams, Johannesburg.
The site is between 3 roads: Derby (north), Millbourne (south) and Viljoen (east).
Always 6 students will form a group and build a communal site model, scale 1:500. They will present their row of 6 houses together in the final presentation. The design of each unit is individual. However, a strict set of design codes has to be applied.Your target group are young families, single moms with children and grandmother and/or brother/sister, single men, low to middle income.The site is approximately 16.5 x 62 m, with a height difference of ca. 2.7 m between Derby and Millbourne Road.This means that each row house has approximately 16.5 x 6 m as site.
Site 1-6 will be determined at the day of hand out. Each group has to get council requirements for the site.
Material: basic structure: brick, concrete
Programme: 2 bathroom
1-2 extra WC
1 garage
1 workspace
3 bedrooms
1 kitchen
1 living room
1 laundry room/ space
Codes: 30-50% of each dwelling unit has to be void, e.g. patio, courtyard, private open space
storey height: 2,6m
building height: max 3 stories over ground
flat roof with outdoor space
all units ground access
one bedroom has to be able to be rentable space, needs its own access
Attention: carefully integrate possible winds, sun and rains into your spatial and material development
consider the building being built in stages
Process: concept/ idea, sketch design, design development, detailed design
Production: drawings
site plan 1:500,
concept design plans, sections, elevations 1:100,
design development plans, sections, elevations1:50,
3 perspectives – eye height
3 concept sketches/ diagrams
models
site model1:500 with context , one model/ 6 row houses
building mode1:100, white/ grey cardboard
final model 1:50 white/ grey cardboard
3 concept sketches/ diagrams
The project will be judged on
a) concept/ structure and space
b) spatial qualities of row house based on programme and context.
c) quality of spatial representation in model
d) quality of spatial representation in drawing
All submissions have to be pinned up before 10 o’clock in the studio on Thursday, 23 April 2009.
Late entries will not be accepted and be marked 0%.
