- Description
- Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the South African economy and educational have changed to accommodate the national lockdown regulations. This has resulted in many South Africans to lose their jobs and work and education has moved to virtual platforms. It is recognized that the low-income households and communities would be the most disadvantages in these changes as they have limited additional space available to use as home offices and study spaces and their access to technology and internet is also limited This treatise deals with the design of a New Live-Work Residential Model as an answer to the challenges and changes in the working and academic environment as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. This project is focused on the low-income communities Walmer, Gqeberha. The aim is to develop a new Live-Work-Study Environment that is focused on providing for – and the improvement of – low-income areas. A system of residential buildings would be created that would encourage and support a Live-Work-Study Environment specifically in low-income environments in a way that it would increase their living standards in the most economical way possible and can be used as a prototype in other similar low-income environments.
