Slovo Playground 2013

In 2013 1to1 incorporated the University of Johannesburg’s undergraduate department (with
Denver Hendricks, Jabu Makhubu and Yusuf Chothria) with the University of Pretoria post-graduate Architecture (with Carin Combrinck) students focusing the project on space for children – who had been a major cause for most of the damages to Slovo Hall since 2010.


Students worked with the various community organizations to develop a playground strategy that would be robust and work with the way the children use space currently. The proposal looked closely at safety and durability and is still under construction.
