Warwick Junction lies on the edge of the Dur-ban’s inner-city and is the primary public trans-port interchange in the city. On an average day the area accommodates 460 000 commuters, and at least 6000 street vendors. Given the conflu-ence of rail, taxi and bus transport, this area has always been a natural market for street vendors. The Markets of Warwick includes between 5000 and 8000 vendors trading in 9 distinct markets. Currently this is the only informally structured market in a public space of this magnitude, and thus establishes itself as the single most authen-tic African market that South Africa has to of-fer. The products available vary from beadwork, traditional arts and crafts, traditional cuisine, fresh produce, music and entertainment mer-chandise, clothing, accessories and traditional medicine. To appreciate the diversity and suc-cess of the markets today, the historical signifi-cance of the Warwick area is important.

Steeped in racial discrimination, the Warwick area was neglected and abandoned by the apartheid government. It was initially Indian indentured labourers who began trading on the street sidewalks in this area, and for example, built the beautiful Badsha Peer Shrine which remains an iconic piece of architecture in Brook Street. With the gradual influx of black African traders into the area, Warwick became a central hub of commerce and trading activity. It was only in the late 1980s that traders were given recognition for their economic contribution and granted permission to remain in specifi-cally allocated trading locations on the streets. Since then trader committees have been established to work alongside the Municipality and various sector support organizations to create and maintain an effective informal trading location benefiting the traders and the 70, 000 – 100, 000 people who depend on these vendors’ income. Warwick Junction is a magic and fascinating place, very unique in its character, a fantastic mixture of social, cultural and historical values which should be preserved. A part of the approach to this project was defining long term strategy for Warwick Junction. After all analisys the conclusion was that it should be based on three main elements:ECOLOGY&ECONOMY -Warwick’s Junction ecosystem is based on people flow. Movement of peo-ple is a crucial element and it has to be kept. Because of that, instead of concentration of elements further development should be based on circulation! That is why a 9 MARKETS LOOP is proposed as a main idea to allow Warwick Junction to work the way it does and make it even better! Ecologi-cal approach should be based on ecology of society, sustainability of Warwick Junction’s balanced Ecosystem, protecting it’s unique symbiotic microcosm. SOCIAL INTERVENTION - In social intervention local engagement is crucial, it creates close re-lationship and responsibility for the results. In this intervention improvement of safety and comfort should play the main role. Proposed Community Center will play the role of sharing and participat-ing platform, local ‘agora’ for people of Warwick Junction. NEW BRAND (place marketing) - Warwick Junction plays important role in the city, place where you can experience real South African spirit. It’s soul and spirit has to be preserved in city’s landscape! Crucial strategy for Warwick Junction is to reintroduce it to the city of Durban create a new distin-guishable brand that will change its recognition, make it attractive for Durban citizens and show its compelling values! Introducing new landmark will emphasize role of Warwick Junction as an attrac-tive and fascinating place to be!

NEW STRATEGYCHANGING FACE OF WARWICK

13 13 warwick junction | temporary intervention


Shelter tower is an ‘exclamation mark’ of Warwick Junction district. Its fun and extraordinary shape will be distinguishable and visible from dis-tance. That is a part of Warwick’s face changing, making it reckognizable, interesting, a pleace wort visiting. Such structure looks fascinating, brings on mind HIGH-TEC buildings, eventough it is actually more a LOW-TEC structure. It looks also like some artistic structure, and if decorated by lo-cal people- it could really be a great piece of art. Something that they could identify themselves with!It was important to research and define needs of local society. Warwick markets were developing with different levels of infrastructural support. One of the missing elements was the lack of sleeping facilities. Vertical tents hanging on its structure work as a temporary shelters for rent. They could be easily folded and moved. Tents could be rented from local Society Center. One tent is big enough to fit a family of two adults and a kid. Dur-ing the night some of the tents will shine , when lit from the inside and make it look like huge lantern.Construction of ShelterTower is made of scaffoldings, which might be do-nated by local construction companies. Simplicity of construction makes it possible for local community to participate in assembly process. Mounting of elements does not require qualified workers. Another advantage of such type of construction is its transparency. Lack of walls and ‘dark spots’ al-lows visual control and increases safety. Tower is also a great observatory point, and this have a strong impact on security comfort. Shelter tower proposed in this project is supposed to be not onle a sleeping place, some kind of a vertical camping, but also a viewpoint. It somehow plays role of a ‘watchtower’, that might increase safety, thanks to so called “neighbour-hood control”. In the middle of the structure, in its central part huge nets are hung. They protect users from falling down the structure, but also work as a giant hammocks, a perfect place to rest and relax.

O-type node allows to connect all the basic el-ements –horizontal and vertical pipes, ties. O-type node disc has eight mounting slots (four big and four small), that allows connecting up to eight elements. Small ones are dedicated for horizontal elements, that will let to achieve rigid rectangular grid of scaffolding. Elements that are mounted to bigger slots might be rotated in 30° range. Discs are welded to vertical pipes every 500 mm.

Significant lack of public space in Warwick junction leads to diffrac-tion of its community. For local society a spot where they can meet, relax, socialize and have fun, is always vital. Introducing such place, safe and pleasant , does not require a lot of funds. Just a little effort can make a difference. And a handful of colors! How to mark a public space? Simply paint it! Make it alive, make it cool, make it joyful and attractive. You can paint whatever you want, special spots, sport fields,it will distinguish it from ‘regular’ surround-ing space, mark its significance. Thie simplicity of this intervention will make this public space a ‘common good’, since everyone may take part in its production. And what about the street furniture? You can bring whatever you want, there is a lot of stuff to reuse and recycle. Beer or bread crates for seats? Just paint them to make it belong to this place.To organize the space PUBLIC UMBRELLAS are proposed. By us-ing pieces of fabric and cardboards some nice designed umbrella-like shades could be created. They will work perfectly for public space as sun protectors, but may also define spots for informal traders when put in the right place.

Social Revolution was a project made for a competition on socialfest in Yaroslavl, Russia, where it was shortlisted as one of 15 best projects. It was also nominated and won a GRAND PRIX in com-petition organised by EcoDelo in Krasnoyarsk, also in Russia. Main idea was to create an ecological object from recycled materials and a green space surrounding it, which would encourage people to rediscover social life. We wanted to use simple and easy acces-sible resources. That is why we chose old cargo containers as our main structure and earth soil for creation of the landscape. Intervention in the park was supposed to make it more attractive, but at the same time not to destroy its general composition. That is why we decided to dig our objects into the ground and create at the same time interesting and much safer landscape. We hope that various activities that we propose will bring life to social relations of Yaroslavl’s inhabitants.

SOCIAL ARCHITECTURERECYCLING REVOLUTION


23 23 social architecture | recycling revolution


Following the ecological objectives we proposed to recycle old cargo containers and use them as a main structure of the pavil-ion. Everything that is needed to be done is to place it in the right spot. All further actions, such us covering it with earth and finishing are so simple, that they could be done by local people. That is the element of social participation. Interior walls are covered by simple wooden OSB plates, which are cheap but practical. Containers made of steel are also rather resistible to vandalism – there is not really much what one can destroy and materials are durable. The pavilion may hold different cultural functions, such as small library, mediatheque or café. Library is supposed to be a local platform for book exchange – so called book-crossing, a mediatheque –platform for multimedia exchange equipped with wi-fi connection. It might be a place where people could exchange their old books or download e-books and audio-books. Everything might be painted regarding the wishes and moods of inhabitants. It could be a perfect place for artistic expression.

BARRUNCHOSLUM REDEVELOPMENT

29 29 barruncho | slum redevelopment


The Bairro do Barruncho slum (Barruncho’s neighbourhood) is located on the edge of Lis-bon’s municipality border,between the parish o Póvoa de Santo Adriao and the parish of Odi-velas. It’s somehow rough ground wich began to form in th 1960’s. Spreading on rather steep hill brings on mind well known favelas from Rio de Janeiro, except of its much smaller scale. Most of its inhabitants are of african origin, majority of them from Capo Verde and Angola, but also about 40% of them are Portuguese nationality. There is also quite big Gypsy community. It is composed of a high number of provisional self-made constructions , where there are about 130 households with rather poor hygienic condi-tions.Despite their rather rough living situation, peo-ple from Barruncho (especially African immi-grants) are very warm and welcoming people. It’s very clear that they are trying to live a nor-mal life in their small community.

Project introduces modular system of prefabricated construction, which could be extended accordingly to it’s inhabitants need. A family may claim to the municipality for a basic 6x9 lot with a basic single-room shed and a construction that makes a possibility of further development. Every lot has a part of land which is dedicated for a small garden and is forbid to be build on. House extension is continued upwards and could be doneby family members, limited by construction frame.Project concentrates on rather high density and growing upward, rather than spreading buildings horizontally. Thanks to this some parts of land are saved to introduce elements which ar crucial for every community, like private gardens, green zones, but most of all a common public space. It actually follows the very visible need of current Barruncho’s community to gather together, a need for integration. It creates an opportunity to make social bonds stronger and can make a slum a better and safer place. In response to Barruncho’s natural condi-tions, its rather steep formation, most of the public space is located on stairs and terraces, which is actually quite common situation in Lisbon. It creates somehow ‘amphiteatrical’ space, that provides some nice place to sit and relax.In new proposal the biggest concern was to improve conditions of life for people in Barruncho, introduce ideas that will change their difficult and somehow ‘outkast’ situation, but at the same time to be delicate and to understand subtle importance of local community identification. Therefore major construction material used is concrete, but all the ‘filling’ is made by locals themselves, so that they could make it the way they want, that there is nothing imposed and dictated. They can use all the materials they want, all the colours they want, even tough the frame is always the same...

Slum location on a steep slope, next to the primary school of Odivelas. Houses in Barruncho are constantly a subject of municipal emissions and demolition, but on a foot of one destroyed shed always grows a new one.

Small building on 6x9 lot could expand upward accordingly to its inhabitant needs, in example, family growth, which characteristic multi-gen-erational structure had to be recognized. Main idea was to make this project as flexible as pos-sible, despite its rigid concrete frame. It was im-portant to take in consideration not only basic needs like rooms or sanitation, but also poten-tial for a small local business.

(...) The Tagus has enormous ships,And for those who see in everything that which isn’t thereIts waters are still sailedBy the memory of the carracks. (...)

a smaple of Fernando Pessoa’s - Alberto Caeiro’s ode to the Tagus

Museum of Rio Tejo is a project of new Lisbon’s nautical museum which tells the story of Tagus River (Rio Tejo in portuguese). Tagus is brought to mind in the songs and stories of the Portuguese and history of Lisbon was always connected with the river and ships sailing up and down its stream. Moreover, the story continues until nowadays, even if the type of ships have changed. A popular fado song in Lisbon notes that while people get older, the Tagus remains young (“My hair getting white, the Tagus is always young”).New museum is supposed to take the place of existing Nautical Museum lo-cated in Belém district next to the Jeronimos monastery. New lot is located closer to Lisbon’s historical city centre and will be a part of redevelop-ment of rivers boulevards.Designed building connects function of the museum with public space. Roof of the museum works like a huge ramp and becomes an exposition place, a square, a viewpoint overlooking old town – Alfama on one side, and Rio Tejo on the other. It corresponds with Portuguese tradition of Miradouros – places where people can contemplate the views. A „broken” form seems to be rising from the broken ground, creating shapes which brings on mind shapes of sails of the muletas – traditional barges of Rio Tejo.

MUSEUM OFRIO TEJO

Museum was supposed to house real scale examples of carracks and mu-letas - traditional sailboats of Rio Tejo, therefore it’s height was supposed to be enough to fit boats with the masts. This was the reason of raising of some corners of the building, to create adequate space inside. Its dynamic shape brings on mind shapes of the sails, for some it may also look like rocks or mountains rising from broken ground, or waves hitting the banks of the river.Except previously mentioned function of the museum there is also place for conference centre with auditorium, a cafe and a car park.

HAND LUGGAGEFOLDING CHAIR

47 47 folding chair | furniture


Main concept was to create a folding chair which size will meet hand luggage dimensions restrictions that are common for most of the airlines. Objecct after folding was supposed not to exceed dimensions 55x40x20 cm. To meet these requirements and at the same time make useful and comfortable chair, a lot of case studies were done. Developed way of folding may seem to be complex at first sight, but in fact it’s really easy and simple. Another important issue in designing this chair was to maintain good proportions of seat, legs and back. Front leg and back-rest were designed so that they create a straight line after unfolding the chair and underline importance of these direction. These elements are also made with wider planks are also painted in the same color (white) , so this give even stronger effort to dif-ferentiate and “isolate” them from other parts of structure. Seat and rear leg create another composition, with angled relation. Rotation axis based on a wooden tube is visible on the side of the chair, as well as blocking tubes. It follows the idea of making the structure visible, that we can immediately imagine the way this object works. To stop legs from spreading apart thin metal string was used, which could also be used as a belt to carry the chair. Its dimensions are a compromise between user’s personal ergonomic requirements and hand luggage dimensions limitations. It meets very well its design goals – to be portable, easy to carry light chair, but at the same very comfortable. It looks simple and modest but still funky.Chair construction is based on four frames, each one smaller from the previous, which could fit into each other. All the frames are rotating on wooden tube of 30mm diameter. Shorter wooden tubes with same diameter are used to block chair after unfold-ing. Material chosen to build chair frames was plywood plate with 15 mm thickness. Planks are connected into frames with box-joint connections, glued together. Metal string goes through the front and rear leg through holes with 4mm diameter, protected with metal rings. To the shorter tubes metal string is attached with screws.

BRANCHEDCOAT RACK

Main concept in designing this rack was to make it look simple, modest and delicate. Inspirations were taken from nature (wood, tree branches) but they were not supposed to be expressed liter-ally. The most stress was put on vertical direc-tions, slightly broken by angular “branching”.Composition consists of 3 main vertical ele-ments on a triangular base (equilateral ).Those three elements have different height 400, 1000 and 1600 mm, according to user’s requirements. Lower part is supposed to work as a support for leg when tying shoes. Middle part works as a coat rack, but could also be comfortably used as a umbrellas hanger. The highest element is a coat and hat rack. Every vertical element has a short “branch” close to its top, creating impres-sion of tree branch. Branches create a 60 degree angle with vertical element and are directed to-wards the triangular base’s edges. To emphasize natural correlation every metal element is fin-ished with short wooden part.Construction is made of metal pipes of 20mm diameter and 2 mm wall thickness. Pipes are welded to the metal plate 120x120mm and 2mm thickness with drilled holes for better connec-tion. Base consists of two parts, upper and lower, each 18mm thick and with same triangu-lar shape. In upper part there are drilled three holes for three vertical metal pipes. To this part metal plate with welded pipes is connected with screws. Lower part with cutout hole of 170 mm diameter is glued to the upper part. It serves also as a cover for a metal plate construction. To each vertical metal pipe its own metal branch is welded. Wooden finishing made of wooden pipes is stacked into each of visible ends.

Renovated by Jean Nouvel Fábrica Moritz is the home of Catalan brewer Moritz, which was first started up in 1856 and relaunched by the Moritz family in 2004 after a 26 year hiatus.Main goal for this project was to design an exhibition for souvenir shop. Leading topic was MORITZ WORLD – the reinterpretated image of the world, reflecting the range of countries worldwide where Moritz products are being sold. For these reasons we have created a brand new map of our planet, a new order ruled by Moritz Brewery. Another issue was to create space for the souvenirs on a huge table. For this modular and prametric-a-like structure was designed, creating tectonical hills and valleys for prod-ucts exposition. Colours of all of the elements reflects colour range used for Moritz’s occasional products. The souvenirs are shown on pilled rhom-buses, in order to lead the visitor through the varied weighted topography-showcase, are the recognition value for the corresponding cities.For the window a huge “M” is made of the three different coloured best-known Moritz beer bottles. Beyond that the translucent of the bottle affords the sun to shine trough and allows the passing visitors to catch a glimpse of the Moritz beer world.
