In the pursuit of architecture

I’m fascinated by the way of thinking architecture has

taught me and has opened me up to developing. Where I see

at the same time things holistically and in terms of

components, how you read the physical manifestation and

the space left between and around it. The ability to take

an idea and turn it from something intangible into

something real, and that the something built can be used

to manipulate the intangible, how you can create an

emotion a feeling a purpose, how you can sculpt mould and

manipulate elements of light and wind and water.

Architecture is a mysterious and complex thing that I

want to begin to understand and master. I have been

involved in residential, commercial and retail work at

different scales of prestige and scale, and I enjoy the

process of turning constraints into opportunities and

solving problems right from the start to completion, I

would like to learn to apply this right from larger

scales of urban design to specific, concentrated

detailing of a feature piece.

Curriculum Vitae

My education has developed from a school where I academically and

extramurally excelled. From then included a challenging but eye opening

education at wits that sparked my fascination with architecture where I got

my undergraduate degree also getting fist hand construction experience in

the building of the classroom at magagula heights. From there I have gained

invaluable and diverse education from two architectural firms namely

monzeglio cook + Gibson and massworxs architects. My degree has been

augmented by my work experience where I have been involved in all levels of:

design, production, presentation and construction drawing development as

well as physical understanding through site exploration and business

understanding through client interaction and brief analysis.

LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION October 2014 To whom it may concern. Ffyona Mc Caffery’s letter of recommendation: Ffyona's qualities:

Show's exceptional resolve under pressure. Keeps her composure under pressure during exceptionally pressured times.

Has strong personal design beliefs, but also demonstrates a willingness to negotiate design in a team.

Dedication to the project and the end result. Shows true enjoyment to the creative process of design. Commitment to the team. Sense of humour during tough situations. Dedication to Architecture even under the prior discontent of non-acceptance to Post

Grad. She has used it as a fuel to improve her skills. Composure under the pressure of developing her Revit skills in an office running on Revit

only. Dissection of a design into elements, large and small. An ability to re-focus on different jobs in an office which has many projects running at

once. A development of her technical skills and an understanding that a set of drawings is a

set of instructions for site, therefore information must be clear. Part XA ready. SANS 10400 ready An overall positive and fun energy for the office. Serious when she needs to be, yet

never looses her "cool".

CONCEPT

The MEANS to make their presence known- Communication without words -- Communication without words -- Communication without words -- Communication without words -

a problem needs to be acknowledged in order to resolve it

RE_SCRIPTING an urban interaction. The milieu is Johannesburg, the protagonists are tax paying citizens andthe antagonists are the excluded – homeless. The interaction between the protagonist and the antagonist is oneof avoidance and discomfort. The homeless are irritations to the protagonist as they take resources not of theircontribution and move unrestrained through the city causing a detrimental effect to economic and commercialpractices in areas where they linger. The homeless are silent and translucent to the people that vaguelyacknowledge their existence or plight.

- SITE SITE SITE SITE a. a person who receives support, advantage, or the like, from another or others without giving any useful or proper return, as one who lives on the hospitality of others – HOMELESS- METRICMETRICMETRICMETRIC a. One of a set of measurable factors that define a system and determine its behaviour.- METER METER METER METER a. limits or boundaries.

ParaParaParaPara – 1. Prefix attacked to verbs meaning: ‘at or to one side of, beside, side by side, ancillary’’

RE_SCRIPTRE_SCRIPTRE_SCRIPTRE_SCRIPTIgnorance is the script we wish to rewrite, to change the attitude of the protagonist as well as give a presence and voice to theantagonist. We aim to shock the numbed protagonist into awareness and hopefully action. The parasitic fungus that grows organicallyand externally to the parameters of society and cause harm to the providers in this society need to be given the means to no longerbeg for survival but rather to ask for integration into a system that excludes them. Give the homeless the means to create by their ownintelligence and according to their own design uplifting them from user to architect and contractor, from parasite – to PARA_SITE – alongside ,beside.

PARA METRICPARA METRICPARA METRICPARA METRICThe means of communication would be ad hoc architecture created using modular units repeated to form organic forms that havethousands of different solutions based on the parameters experienced by the homeless: the number of components; the site and thedirection of the designer. These parametric forms would start to litter the city becoming more and more prominent due to their speed ofconstruction, their variability of form and their positioning in dead urban space. The homeless will have the stage to make theirpresence known and challenge society and the government. Requesting assistance without begging for survival.

ComponentsComponentsComponentsComponentsThe homeless are huge contributors to informal recycling. They would now be given the opportunity not only toreceive reimbursement for their collections but to also receive a recycled component. The recycling companieswould have incentives to supply the components as they would be liable to receive grants. The homeless wouldtake these light weight and manageable components with them as they moved. Either collaborating or workingalone they would then have the means to construct these parametric forms that can be both physically andsocially functional.socially functional.socially functional.socially functional.

These interventions are likely to take ion their own functionality as furniture or gathering space. They wouldbecome nodes of activity and seeds of metaphysical thinking planted in our otherwise logical urbanity.

INITIALLY I WANTED TO STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN AND WANTED TO USE MY URBAN REGENERATION BUILDING TO REDEFINE A PURPOSE IN

GERMISTON THAT WASN'T TIME BOUND. SO I DESIGNED A SELF SUFFICIENT TECHNOLOGICAL EDUCATION FACILITY THAT WAS ABLE TO ADAPT AND

CHANGE WITH THE NEEDS OF THE CITY. HOWEVER INSTEAD OF FULFILLING NUMEROUS FUNCTIONS I FEEL THAT THE UNDEFINED PLANNING LIMITED ITS

CURRENT FUNCTION IN AN ATTEMPT TO PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE.

I REDESIGNED ON THE SAME SITE THAT HAD GOOD CONNECTIONS TO TRAVEL PATHS THROUGH GERMISTON. I WANTED TO CREATE A COMPLEX OF

BUILDINGS AND FUNCTIONS THAT MAXIMIZED THE RANGE , NUMBER AND HOURS OF USERS. I USED CROSS PROGRAMMING, CREATING SECTIONS THAT

WERE FOR RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL, BUSINESS AND PUBLIC USES. THE DIFFERENT ZONES WERE STAGGERED IN TERMS OF APPROACH AND ACCESS

Through he massing of the required spaces on the footprint of the site, we are able to see how best to make the various spatial connections occur, develop strategies to deal withthe servicing of the building and visually understand these implications in space. Designing from this practical aspect gives insight into the depth of system complexity that needs

to be resolved in order for the building to function optimally at all the different levels that a building needs to. Certain element of the program have predetermined positioning

requirements which gives a starting point from which the other placements develop.

If a building fails on these fundamental issues it will never be able to unction at the philosophical level the design concept hopes to convey.

negatively impacted the sales, due to the market perception, so

the Hollywood garage was introduced as building lines didn't

have to be relaxed. Then the built samples were viewed by

customers and the TRADITIONAL GARAGETRADITIONAL GARAGETRADITIONAL GARAGETRADITIONAL GARAGE was a fundamental

requirement to the markets needs. The car as the driver of

need for motorized transport and provides the opportunity to PEDESTRIANIZE the area.

In order to start the drive towards prioritizing the pedestrian, theway in which the estate is planned needs consider the needs of

the pedestrian. The estate has set back each individual site

1. achieving a fair balance between the need for privacy offered by housing and the need of interaction and expression in the

wider community.

reducing unwanted social interactions, while supporting positive interactions that reinforce a sense of community.

2. maintaining satisfactory group sizes at satisfactory residential rates, depending on the conditions of the project, since

contact with too many people in the common areas of residential buildings will discourage close social interactions and the

sense of community.

3.presenting in the immediate vicinity of residential buildings qualitative outdoor areas, appropriate for social interaction and

group control, that community members can use frequently.

4.providing availability and quality in relation to various functions and services. Also, providing easy and diversified access to

those facilities is important, as well as the possibility of walking to most of the facilities needed for the daily routine.

5. providing availability and quality of transport, and also diversity for transport, such as bicycle lanes and good public

transport links.

6.offering visual relationships and accessibility with qualitative green areas and support in various ways contact with nature.

The green public areas in high density settings should be large, coherent, well-landscaped and well-maintained.

7.presenting a high-degree of safety and discouraging vandalism through the configuration of open, public space and also

intermediary, semi-public space.

8.presenting sustainable and ecological features in the design of the housing buildings

Density is not a new development although itsprevalence is continuing to grow. The floor plan

for high rise apartments has many different

configurations all have which have their

advantages and disadvantages. The advantages

of all the typologies however is the use of walls

shared between units, slabs are both roof and

floor , circulation can be shared by many units

and the vertical stacking reduces the footprint,

reducing the amount of land needed and

addressing the problem of sprawl in the cities.

The practicality of the unit is first and foremost in

the design considerations. The manner in which

the unit functions in isolation and then as art of

the block and finally as part of a complex in its

context needs to be a homogenous relationship

that benefits the single and the whole.

As the units all face north and the density of thesite is so small the roof has been used as a fifth

floor. The solar panels are angled at 15' plus the

latitude of the site, which is 25' 59'' 53'' S. Thus

the panels are angled at 40 degrees north. The

panels are connected to geysers that sit in each

unit, in a cupboard. The system keeps the water

The steps from raw material to end consumer is reduced and the exclusion of the wholesaler eliminates certain logistic costs and makes theSCALES OF ECONOMYSCALES OF ECONOMYSCALES OF ECONOMYSCALES OF ECONOMY better for the small business owner who can be more price competitive. The Mini Unit has to represent both industry and sales and this DUALITYDUALITYDUALITYDUALITY that is normally separate is apparent in the aesthetic division between the front of house offices and the

The units are sprinkled in order or theusers to stack higher than 12m. The offices are sprinkled and the office doors are required to be fire doors, however as we want the office door to be glass, for visual connection and

in order to create a formal entrance. The glass door is fitted with a special sprinkler. There are fire escape doors in the industrial space and fire routes that run right around the units.

By combining two usually separate work functions the industrial and the office/sales, it creates TWO DISTINCT PREDOMINANT USERSTWO DISTINCT PREDOMINANT USERSTWO DISTINCT PREDOMINANT USERSTWO DISTINCT PREDOMINANT USERS of the building. The circulation is divided so these two role players can moveINDEPENDENT of each other.
