the only project to have done the route backwards as in, from where the person attends classes [fada] to where they sleep. an interesting approach, but why? this should have been explained. excellent unpacking of task 1 -- protection= shelter= hoamage= retreat? delightful equation, but what does hoamage mean? things get better in unfinished sympathy. lines like the everyday journey sculpts the urban perception of the user; factors include desitnation [sic], time span, method of transport (all these factors will affect urban design principles) are a joy to read. and the text gets even better. the only mild criticism is, this could have been explored graphically as an added layer with plans, sections, architectonics et al. that being said, it doesn’t take away from the strength of the text. be mindful of spelling errors. the journey from fada through brixton, boysens, southdale flats, kliprivier to home is well rendered with alluring + charming sections enhanced with a textual layer. the morphology of the city, as a plan, draws one in, but this could have been taken further from mere “fine art” illustration to actual city grain + morphology. also a timeline + distance layer would have added more value to an already rich and splendid piece of work. this is an example whereby the expression of the work justifies not respecting the format. excellent work. keep it up.
