Hi Guys

Check out the Pretoria group's model!

Model picture (scale 1:500) with part of my design, which:

1.) Allows for easier pedestrian movement.

2.) Gives the currently vacant plots a function and incorporates them with the system.

3.) Makes empty floors above shops accessible.

Colored orange of course, just like the Dutch carrots ;)

drop box

Dear people

How is it going?

What happened to the drop box. Looks like someone removed some stuff. Pretoria and lots of work of the Maputo group has been removed.

Could it be placed back and be careful with copying and try not to remove documents.

It was so nice to see some work from you guys.

Thanks

@ Byron; something like this?

Hi

Just to let you guys know where we are in Pretoria. We have recently handed the first draft of the first three chapters of our dissertation in for comment, the revised copy which we hand-in soon will be marked, and these marks will count towards our coursework mark.

The first three chapters are basically an introduction to the project, in terms of concept, location, and theoretical approach. So basically the general background and aims.

We also have an ENORMOUS context model of the Baixa. At scale 1:1000 it is 2,5 meters long! Ill blog some photos sometime.

Soon we will also complete a detailed urban 'framework' and analysis. But the design only starts later when we have all of this other stuff sorted out.

Lekker

Check out these websites, fowarded to me by Edna and Catherine. I found the xirico one quite usefull. Its even better if you get google to translate the page, then you can look at the pictures AND read the caption.

How to put the link of a dropboxfile on the blog!

The Public Folder lets you easily share single files in your Dropbox. Any file you put in this folder gets its own Internet link so that you can share it with others-- even non-Dropbox users! These links work even if your computer’s turned off.

Step 1: Drop a file into the Public folder.

Step 2: Right-click/control-click this file, then choose Dropbox > Copy Public Link. This copies the Internet link to your file so that you can paste it somewhere else.

That's it! You can now share this file with others: just paste the link into e-mails, instant message conversations, blogs, etc.!

If you'd like more help with sharing files, head here: http://www.getdropbox.com/help/16

Happy Dropboxing!
- The Dropbox Team

Note: You can only link to actual files within your Public Folder, not to folders.

In four weeks Maputo, points of interest have been accumulating and translated to text and image. In order to get grip on these subjects, the cacophony of ideas were filtered to a residue of 3 projects that overlap each other in a certain area, and totally differ in other parts. The challenge that is being faced at this point of the design process is the decision what role these three will play in the subject of the final project. Within the spectrum of the physical, social, political, economical and environmental subjects that these projects touch upon the degree of intervention has to be determined.

Tears of joy and agitation.

Welcome to Lagos, BBC documentary on (again) this city in Nigeria. Very impressive, watch it!

dropbox

Students of E.M thanks for the info on the dropbox account. We will finalize our booklet and it will be posted this week. Good that its working and the communication is on!

Maybe nice when busy with design to upload a small image or sceme on the blog. We will keep you posted.

Paper showing historic and contemporary development of Maputo

We've seen allot of this stuff before, but this document is in English which might help some. It was presented at the African Perspectives conference in Pretoria in 2009

Baixa monies

The project has been submitted to Nuffic -- we have to keep fingers crossed what we may collect to enable the summerschool in Delft. It is of high importance to show as much as possible interaction and production on the site and blog as to convince the donors!

Our Mozambique table!

Hi everyone, a little image below to show you our studio space (with flag!). Concerning the working together, it might be a good idea to start off with everyone shortly summarizing what they've been doing the past week, and sending it by email to the rest.

By the way, don't forget to sign yourself in at the blog, so that you can post your own messages. I'll try to send everyone an email inviting you to the blog.

Keep your inbox posted!

Cheers

In Maputo kick off

Tuesday 21 February the Maputo project had its kick off. The joint venture between Eduardo Mundlane university of Maputo, Boukunde University of Pretoria and TU-Delft began their field research. An introduction to the Baixa de Maputo and the first lecture by Nicholas Clarke and Karel Bakker introduced us to the project.

After a tour in the Baixa groups were formed and everybody began to focus to create a strategy how to revitalize the Baixa de Maputo.
