I-hub @ Pretoria station square : orientation through architectural intervention

Abstract

The proposal is to design an information and orientation facility, in the vicinity of Pretoria Station. The proposed design will involve a building that seeks to orientate a tourist/commuter on entering the city, whether it is for the first time or on a daily basis. The resulting environment will provide facilities for informing, waiting, relaxing, communication, eating, planning and other travel-related rituals. It is to be a hub of social activity that interacts positively with all users and passers-by, serving as a backdrop for everyday activities that occur at Pretoria Station. Copyright
