Abstract

A lack in infrastructure and skills, in an inherited Apartheid spatial legacy, leaves a critical opening for much needed added spatial value. By investigating and supporting existing networks and contributing to existing typologies, this dissertation speculates on educational resource infrastructure provision to marginalized communities in Pretoria, South Africa. It is a rethinking of our South African city landscapes and civic/pedagogical architectural offerings, manifesting a critical stance to foster a prosperous community that has the potential to thrive. Focusing a speculative knowledge exchange infrastructure intervention on already existing networks; this dissertation aims to resolve the potential of current typologies in urban planning, and the ability to foster a new teacher, pupil and community education infrastructure to empower local stakeholders to improve provided services. Building a prosperous future on top of past spatial inheritance.
