dc.description.abstractThe ocean, a vast and mysterious force, sets the stage for tragic shipwreck events around the Southern Tip of Africa. Nearly 3 000 historical shipwrecks of different nationalities met their untimely demise at the hands of the ocean (SAHRA, 2020: online). Some are rooted in the depths of the ocean while remnants of others still protrude the surface of the sea clinging to the land awaiting their end. Meisho Maru no.38 fishing trawler, em-placed in the scene of the Southernmost Tip of Africa, is an icon in the larger shipwreck narrative caught between land and sea. Time has taken a toll on this icon with each year the memory rusts and fades away, as the ocean finishes what he started on 16 November 1982 (Atlasobscura, 2021: online). A Shipwreck Interpretation Centre, located next to Meisho Maru no.38 and Agulhas National Park, is proposed to preserve and recount forgotten shipwreck tragedies. The strong film quality of the setting inspires an intervention that builds on the experiential cinematic elements, creating architecture that tells a story. The Shipwreck Interpretation Centre, funded by SAN Parks, proposes sequences of architectural mises-en-scène which articulates both the dualities between and interconnectedness within human experiences as visitors move through places and times.en_ZA
