- Description
- The treatise focuses on how to design built space that is ‘place-specific’ and captures the ‘spirit’ of the Namib Desert landscape through the experience of architecture. The project specifically focuses on tourism developments in natural and cultural environments. An investigation and analysis are done of the nature of the physical, spatial and cultural context of the ephemeral Khuiseb river of Namibia. By inductive and deductive reasoning, an argument is presented regarding the appropriate architectural approach of a luxury eco-lodge in a proposed eco-tourism precinct, that captures the Zeitgeist of the context while responding to the socio-economic conditions to encourage an autonomous community in a selfsufficient and sustainable way.
