Proposal for an enclosed pergola to articulate two seating areas back-to back; providing the conference area with a greater degree of privacy, as well as having trellised vines growing from the dividing planter boxes to cool (evapotranspiration) and texturally soften the harsh, full-sun environment

[1] Turbine Hall |1927| - Neighbour to Site
The Turbine Hall was a component of the 1927 Jeppe Power Station, which was the largest of Johannesburg’s steam driven power stations until superseded in 1942 by Orlando Power Station. The other station components included the North and South Boiler Houses and three concrete cooling towers. The power station consumed a train load of coal per day. It had a turbulent history since closure in 1961; until it was adaptively reused as Anglo-Gold Ashanti’s Headquarters in 2009 [NHT, 2010:(online)].
[2] South African Breweries Museum [SAB World of Beer] |1994|
The Breweries Museum occupies the original site of the Second President Street Power Station, which was demolished in 1994 for the Centenary Building [NHT, 2010:(online)].
[3] Sci-Bono Discovery Centre in The Electric Workshop [First President Street Power Station] |1906| - Distant Neighbour to Site
In 2004, the building was adaptively reused for Sci-Bono. It is the biggest interactive science centre in Southern Africa, funded by The Gauteng Department of Education and the private sector. In 2009, a new Eastern section was added in order to offer conference and education facilities [NHT, 2010:(online)].
[5] Moving into Dance |2009|
Moving into Dance was established in Sylvia ‘Magogo’ Glasser’s Northern suburb garage as a means of cultural resistance to Apartheid in 1978. The Newtown studio has become the country’s “foremost professional dance and training institution” [NHT, 2010:(online)]. A new state of the art facility was commis-sioned by the JDA and designed by Phil Mashabane in 2009 [NHT, 2010:(online)].
[6] Bassline |1963|
Baseline opened in the old Newtown music hall in 2004 with a 1000-capacity concert venue and rehearsal facilities. From 1995 to 2010 it has hosted over 3000 concerts. A statue of singing legend Brenda Fassie sits outside Newtown with a microphone [NHT, 2010:(online)].
[7] M1 Freeway [De Villiers Graaf]
The South and North-bound M1 through Newtown was one of the first components of the freeway to be constructed in the 1980s. MuseuM AfricA’s western facade had to be demolished to provide for it. The freeway section above Newtown is the busiest in the Southern Hemisphere with over 300 000 commuters using the portion every weekday [NHT, 2010:(online)]. This is due to it being the major link between the Central Business District in the South and the Sandton Central Business District to the North [NHT, 2010:(online)]. As such, it offers the opportunity for large scale instillations on Mary Fitzgerald Square and Newtown Park to be seen from the highway and advertise the precinct’s programme.
[11] Worker’s Museum & Library |1913|- Direct Neighbour to Site
The worker’s compound was built by the Johannesburg City Council to house Sanitary Department migrant workers in 1913. It later housed the Power Station workers. Thousands of black migrant workers were recruited to work on the mines, in factories and cities. They were separated from their rural families;were forced to sleep side-by side on concrete dormitory bunks with no privacy; with complete control being enforced by the Compound Manager.
[10] Newtown Park
The current Newtown Park was the centre of the industrialised Electric Power Station Precinct in 1937. Its four 120 metre tall concrete cooling towers were a major landmark on the Johannesburg skyline before they were imploded.
The park is used by vagrants, school children and commuters during the day as a social space for sleeping, eating and relaxation respectively. The Proposed Framework sees the park’s opportunity as a quality social space for the areas visitors and the future densified residential population.
[8] No. 1 Central Place |2005|
No. 1 Central Place was designed by GAPP Architects and Urban Designers to provide office facilities above basement parking for the paying public and office tenants.
[9] No 2. Central Place |incomplete|
No. 2 Central Place aims to complete the opposing ‘U-shape’ complementing No.1 Central Place to form an internalised semi-private courtyard. At present, the basement is built up to Ground Level with a vacant derbigum waterproofed deck .
[13] BHBilliton Outreach Training Academy
Contemporary fair-faced concrete building with reflective window application. Does nothing to add to the presence of the collective identity of the Precinct. Does not induce viable spatial creation in its monolithic form. Reflective windows subjectively give off an alienesque presence seen to be looking over the park without allowing any interaction back in return.

The Idea Interchange functions as Zone F, which is comprised of rectan-gular, open-structure pavilions that house the interchangeable Idea Bub-bles. These bubbles are suspended from a square structural steel frame. They were originally designed to be made from metal sheeting clad over a frame, but due to construction practicalities, the Bubbles will be pre-cast in 30mm thick panel segments from fibre-reinforced concrete.
