Task_ 3.3
10.9.2015

Process
Look carefully at what is there, now, and then ask for reasons why?

The task is to detect multiple causes for and behind the current status quo to then envision and implement possible future change: identify actors and agents, rules and (ir) regulations, borders and boundaries, programmes and people, control and exclusion, urban and economic morphologies, landscapes and languages, green space and toxic environments. 

The project looks at Joubert + End Street parks in context rather than an isolated entity and uses the precincts as exiting parcel sections from and within the inner city of Johannesburg.  The idea is to construct an intellectual urban argument on basis of rigorous visual analysis.  The Objective/ Outcome of the study should be to support the model project of developing End Street + Joubert Park and to support the development of new guidelines for better performing parks and public spaces, for a multitude of city inhabitants, through the identification of all necessary base line data and information. Thus you need to imagine . . .
3 imagining
- develop a multitude of visions for the open spaces + boundaries that respond to the idea of an inclusive city and successfully merges formal and informal components;
- envision mixed-use, mixed-income, non-gated (sub) urban neighborhoods to live, play and work with pedestrian access and green spaces in the given context;
- consider the development of a public space system that is based on the use of public transport for a maximum variety of city users;
- integrate sustainable urban elements, consider the future of the triangle + open space;
- critique the existing city proposal documents through your vision;
- Simply ask: what if…

Visions have to be communicated in a graphic format (visual narrative).
