dc.description.abstractArchitecture ceases not to exist outside its context, every structure is sited among ever-changing climates and cultural conditions. It is shaped by its environment, natural forces, objects over systems, and formal morphology over networks and ecologies. The association of one body with the other aligns itself with a level of accountability and it is in this regard that absolute engagement is defined (Baldwin, 2021). Straddling the line between creation and conservation within the greater context of Kamfers Dam, a permanent wetland located 6km north of Kimberley, Northern Cape. The study responds to ecology with subliminal thresholds, buffer zones, shared notions, established ecosystems, and tangible and intangible tensions that co-exist between various natural and man-made communities. According to Wolfhart Pannenberg, creation is not just placed into existence once, creation needs conservation of its existence in every moment. Thus, conservation is nothing else but a continuous creation that is part of a greater ecosystem (Miller, 2009). The interest of this study proposes a Conservation, Research, and Visitors Centre, which aims to explore how a landscape intervention can better foster, facilitate and narrate the concurrent tensions between humanity and natural systems. The aim is to simultaneously and harmoniously mend the "undissolvable unity" between "creation and conservation", humanity and nature" and the engagement between various bodies."en_ZA
