| description | The study aims to reimagine and intervene in the space of Khayelitsha. The intentions are to integrate and alter current smart parks designs by the City of Cape Town. To offer social empowerment to the surrounding context, residents by tempting to provide a detailed design which could offer a space of economic generative platforms/facilities within the landscapes. I've tasked the study also with the aim to uplift all age groups and a target of providing a safety spine moving to and from space, providing a network of movement spaces. The incorporation of pillars aimed at learning by attempting to go into detail with the design of outdoor educational learning spaces intended at structuring the youth mind-set to the current workspace paradigm linked to the forth-industrial revolution. The learning pillars to be triggered in space are Visual, verbal, social, physical, aural and Solitary. The space aims to provide a link for the youth to young professionals in the spaces where they will be facilitated for in the container spaces. To start-up new businesses, allowing for an innovation hub which could generate an ideal cosmos for networking and offer a pulse to activate the green corridor. There will also be the exposure to 24/7 video tutorials in the space allowing for a link to stimulate the mind to future career paths in the global market. The issue of crime in the space is also one I wish to engage with by providing a street language by reading into the literature of street DNA (Simpson,2018) coupled with human desirability links along walkways to best attract the highest amount of foot traffic in space to allow for the safety in numbers approach. The ideas of adding WI-FI hotspots along space and assessing the current desire lines of space for the best accommodation of the masses. The title 'Apart-space', disassembled links the “apart” to the Apartheid ideology denoting on the spatial formation of the township of Khayelitsha, hinting at how it was formed as an influx zone with no much spatial planning for recreational use taken into account. The dash composing the ideology of transformation in post-apartheid South Africa. The “space” denoting to the green corridor (lost space) that had been left as buffer zones by the planners of the time in the spaces |
