Transport (BRT) interchange_Bloemfontein: urban acupuncture exploration

Abstract

The objective of this thesis is to produce a transport interchange as an urban intervention connecting different modes of transport consisting of a BRT station, the BRT control Centre, market spaces, a public square and kitchenettes. The transport interchange will regenerate the infrastructure and CBD area in terms of a more sustainable, efficient and accessible public transport system as well as conceptually investigating urban relieve within Bloemfontein. This reactivation will look at the integration of the acupunctural space with the urban fabric as one of the catalyst methods to reactivate the city organism.
