dc.description.abstract | Small communities find themselves tangled in their established routines, with socio-economic challenges in harsh, arid landscapes The research question asks how the mundane metamorphological cycles of a small community can construct an appropriate architectural language weaved as a makers square for cultural reconciliation in Leonardville, Namibia In reaction to desired lines on an open site between two historical parts of the settlement, the proposed design reacts as container to create new routines as an economic activator The proposed design includes a silk makery for the Kalahari Wild Silk Company supported by attachment, concealment and revelation as new routines for a community Precedents and explorations of the community, social and organism cycles were analysed in Leonardville establish an architectural metamorphosis The proposed design illustrates how mundane routines of organism and socio economics can establish an appropriate architectural language, to weave together rural communities. | en_ZA |
