- Description: The objective of the first component, which outlines the research, is to start with a contextual exploration in order to analyse the nature of Grahamstown and in particular the Fingo Village. This was done to establish the background to the problem and identify the particular issues which impact the criteria established for the urban implementation strategy. As a result of the urban design strategies, certain issues were identified within a focused precinct and generated a relevant design response for a 21st century building. This response is then further supported by a brief investigation of current trends within a similar context. Furthermore the research component explores the defined design project with an emphasis placed on understanding the nature of the type, analysing relevant precedent studies and further conducting a technical investigation of the building type. In order to establish an appropriate response to the immediate context, the conclusions which are made from the issues and investigation will allow for good architectural approaches. Component two is concerned with the development of the design. Taking into account the established criteria, a brief for the design was formulated including the required functions to be accommodated in order to finally execute the design, up until technical resolution. The desired outcome of this treatise is the formulation of an urban spatial framework with an appropriate design that is born out of the particular characteristics of the area chosen.

- Description: This treatise deals with the design of a new yacht manufacturing facility for Robertson and Caine in the East London harbour. It arose from issues with the degradation of the precinct and social and economic issues relating to this. This treatise investigates the issues and process involved in the design of a Yacht manufacturing Facility in the East London Harbour. The purpose of this treatise is to better understand the contextual, spatial, physical and theoretical nature of a Yacht Manufacturing Facility. This identifies a set of architectural issues to which an appropriate architectural design is proposed. Conclusions based on the research findings and analysis of a selected site will be drawn and translated to formulate a vision for the proposed yacht manufacturing facility.
