CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
Q: Are there any bad places in the area you live; places you think are unsafe, scary or unhealthy?
7.3 RECOMENDATIONS
7.3.3 APPROACH TO ACCOMMODATION SCHEDULE
Based on the research findings the appropriate typology for the design is a large scale park that contains multiple building types; it will be a form of urban plan that can then have a smaller portion as the design focus. Those best suited as the small scale typologies are mainly economic and entertainment oriented; museums, galleries, offices and retail that can entertain the local population as well as attract foreign investments.

The design needs to replace the economic activity that was lost along with the original industrial buildings. This said one can now make suggestions about how to approach the accommodation schedule.
1. There should be multiple functions that fit within the design.
2. The functions should be a part of and support the typology of an entertainment park; museums, galleries appropriate retail and select offices.
3. The scale of the site can allow for accommodation but it may not suit the
narrative of the design; it should therefore not be a main concern. However the inclusion of the current ‘others’ may require some form of housing.
4. The selection and organisation of functions needs to be derived around the narrative structure; this may allow an easy way of including the ‘other’ places within the design.
5. A possible building typology that addresses the needs of the ‘others’ while also responding to the data from the questionnaires would be a form of rehab facility.
6. One of the main objectives when selecting functions is the rejuvenation of the site and its context; they should therefore promote economic progress as much as possible.
7. Phytoremediation and bioremediation is proposed and links to the use of natural systems; this said farming should be considered, it will also increase the
economic success of the project and support the marginalised community while teaching sustainable skills to the community.
8. Both the history and existing buildings are important in the process of adaptive reuse; this also means that some functions should speak directly to the original purpose of the site. For example; if the building site was a copper refinery then there should be some function that deals in copper.
It should be made clear that even though these recommendations are not rules; they should be taken seriously when beginning the design process.
