Abstract:
How can the architecture of an urban living room, in the form of a regenerative performed arts and market intervention, stimulate the sustainable development of urban communities in Pretoria?
This dissertation investigates the practice of regional architectural to express and develop a sustainable architectural identity within the dilapidated city landscapes of Pretoria. Revitalisation of the urban environment is enabled by creating opportunities for social and economic interaction within the public realm and supporting it with architectural design solutions aimed at mediating oppressive and restrictive boundaries .
