Baakens Retail centre development moving along slowly but surely.

Early ish stages of my 3d. Still materials, context and lots of trees to come:) some proper renders will be available for viewing pleasure soon enough. #hanginthere

some first attempt fun at photoshop. Come a long way from this eventually but not a shabby start.

Our old events pavilion project from first semester. Will post some final renders soon.

Some urban analysis and intervention posters.

Our Urban design brief required us to analysis our Studiowork site with context as well as to create an urban intervention for the proposed site. It was an interesting and fun exercise as I got to experience the urban context and allowed us to be more involved and in-tune for our building proposals.

Thanks to Sir Michael gates for uploading this blog

The public lecture was well attended at the South Campus auditorium the other night with Vdmma architects showcasing good work. It was a very interesting and insightful lecture. Not too bad with a glass of wine

Varsity grafting on a sunday aint that bad

Studiowork project hand in on the morrow. Development is going slowly due to the fact of complex issues that needs thorough attention to detail. I shall produce further development in the near future so hold on to those handrails!!!!! :)

Dubai weather : only mid-day and almost reaching 50. Suck it up :)

Just a few daily sketches put out to dry. Not really, this is what I like to call the real makoye of large scale projects

Urban Design presentation done and dusted... My topic was New Urbansim, this is focused on the development of pedestrianized cities and how the vehicle has segregated our communities. I would welcome new urbanism in our local cities as it is a sustainable and a much more exciting way of living. Look it up, you wont be disappointed.  #lessdrivingmorewalking #newurbanism
