The design of the server was influenced by traditional Ndebele patterns and the work of Esther Mahlangu. Each individual component of the server is a shape abstracted from the pattern. The colour pallet is picked from the paintings of Esther Mahlangu and the black steel framework represents the black borders that are typical in the patterning. My aim with this design was to blend traditional African artwork with elements of post-modern furniture design.

Analytical Architectural Drawing: what can we learn about co-living from the Jacoba van Beierenlaan student housing complex? The objective of this architecture competition is to obtain knowledge about co-living by producing analytical drawings of a specific existing building. Analytical drawing here is understood as an effective precedent study, interpretation and processing communicated in the form of a two-dimensional image. 

The stories within these walls were inspired by the countless number of memories and histories that have emerged from the JVB student housing complex. Through a speculative labyrinthine spatial arrangement, the drawing shows moments of opportunity for re-coding the domestic setting, the drawing pays homage to the ad-hoc architectures that have developed through the course of the buildings life. Each plan and section aims to tell a different story relating to a specific moment in the history of the building. This drawing aims to capture the spirit and light-hearted nature of student life through the buildings many lifespans, each creating a new definition for space, and each space evolving as time passes.
