"FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION"
Lets begin, the brief was simple and direct when I formulated the idea of designing a community hall factors where raised by myself after analysing the area and one thing came to my mind Ratshidi community hall which is found at the far end side of Ramosadi village tat is overlapping to Stateng village, Ratshidi hall stands out with its structural character and dignifies the path way that leads eopl to twn but one thing I noticed was the space, yes space it was not arranged, contextual space was not planned and this might be normal due to cost efficiency but here on Architecture North West Mafikeng Development blog we look at quality over quantity.
lets begin with what we mean by context architecturally it might be how one should link the function of design concern with the atmost environment concern meaning the ability to have a free flow of function and activities that work hand in hand, a simple advise if a parents decides to go to a meting of the community with a parent due to their own reasons it is most likely that the safest place that child could be waiting for a parent will be inside the car or we might also agree that inside the community hall next to a parent chances of that child making noise are so high.
Ok know we are getting some where what if we choose to make a waiting area for such individual how will it look like will you design a football field and force them to play soccer while waiting for the parent not but a hub that is going to act like a energy injected in the ground to attract this kids nor teenagers.
Ok let me show you the site before we go further Sereko's Street a very busy street with cars,taxis,trucks and and traffic jam after hours.
