Today marked the last workshop of the first iteration of the #nosuchthingproject

The research teams presented their findings and attempted to quantify the projects they investigated using the Community Centre Capacitu Building Tool.
The findings are due for processing and will end in a public exhibition very soon.
Please stay tuned!

There is no such thing as a community centre! Com

There is no such thing as a community centre!

Common discourse claims that Community Centres are state provided facilities that cater to people's needs and involve a social function. We believe there is more to the idea of community centre than this. If you would like to help us find out more, please be in touch!

Researchers will receive payment for their work and the project requires researchers to attend two half day workshops and prepare for and attend an exhibition where their work will be made accessible to the public. It requires a commitment of around 32hours over 2 months.
The research programme will see teams of researchers select projects to investigate and workshop methodologies and processes. The project will last for two months, beginning with a half day workshop on 6 September.
If you're interested in starting your career as a researchers or if you're merely interested in the idea of community architecture and what that means please get in touch using the link in our bio.

Calling all aspiring researchers!

1to1 is looking for dynamic and grounded socio-technical spatial researchers to take part in a part-time co-productive research and engagement project in Gauteng.
The project will see the team working with grass-roots partners to engage and research built interventions that serve a social purpose and produce new tools and methods for engaging with and documenting these types of projects.

The project will start at the end of August and finish by the end of October 2019.
You will be supported in critically unpacking intentions, methods, processes and products to produce research outputs as part of a group exhibition and publication.
If you’re interested, please get in touch with why you are interested and what you imagine this project could see you investigating and learning. A brief paragraph is all that is required.

The aim of this series is to produce a graphic teaching aid to assist in making children realise at a young age that if a man can plan your reality and the trajectory of your life by using physical space, then you can reshape it with the use of the imagination and the necessary tools.

Looking for student/practitioner volunteers!! Spatial Learning in Jeppestown
Aka: Umuzi gets a new look

In the early part of July this year, Umuzi will be welcoming a new group of recruits – along with this new energy, a workshop encouraging the participation of the current and new recruits interested in Spatial Design. Umuzi has recently started working 1to1 – Agency of Engagement and have decided to collaborate on a workshop to build this relationship with the Umuzi Community.

This workshop will use tools and methods typically used in Spatial Design Practice and draw from the direct environment of Umuzi in Jeppestown, Johannesburg. The aim of the workshop is to co-develop a new Umuzi/1to1 Spatial Language for talking about place and space that will be implemented in the new extension of Umuzi and in future spatial projects.
It will aim to encourage the development of skills of spatial literacy, graphic translation and spatial design and visualisation. By producing this spatial language using graphic skills, spatial learning methods and facilitated learning; the workshop will produce a useable guideline for the spatial design of the new look Umuzi space.
Workshop Activities:
• Learning from practitioners in the industry – spatial documentation and interpretation as well as spatial design.
• Learning from the context – exploring Jeppestown with specific lenses to discover specific things
• Learning by communicating – producing mixed media interpretations of data
• Learning by making – producing conceptual ideas and visual suggestions for the spatial design of Umuzi. • Learning by negotiating – doing all of the above in a group of peers with different interests and skills but similar goals.
When? July 2018 (3 days, 9:00 – 17:00 daily)
Where? Umuzi, Bjala Square, 28 Madison, Jeppestown
Who? Invited guests (Umuzi Recruits, JHB students & key 1to1 people)

This workshop is a collaboration between Umuzi and 1to1. And we welcome any students/practirioners who wan to join for the workshop.

Day 2 of the Design Dialogue workshop with @yalearchitecture.

Today Jeremy Jones of LUFN, Thabisa Mfubesi from PJS, Naeemah and Jameel from @development_action_group and Mothebang Masita of the Phillipi Brotherhood joined the process to bring critical insight into the discussion space.

The outputs from these two days are going into the development of a co-productive model for engagement between researchers, NGO's and local residents to work in more respectful, mutually beneficial and generative ways.

Big shout out to @orli_s, @olwethuj, @Simni.xanga amd Melilizwe Gqobo for a powerful team effort.
