SECTION A: DESIGN LITERACY
QUESTION 1: 'UNSEEN' EXAMPLES [10 marks]
Candidates answer EITHER QUESTION 1.1 OR QUESTION 1.2.
1.1 (Allocate a maximum of 2 marks for each bullet/aspect)
The 2D wallpaper design in FIGURE A creates a 3D illusion of form due to the use of
tonal variation and perspectival rendering of the tunnel and in each pyramid. These
simulated forms are pure geometric pyramids that create a clean, mechanical feel.
The wallpaper design creates the illusion of a tunnel-like space through the changing
of the scale of the pyramid forms so that they appear to be receding. Placing the
light source on the righthand side of the tunnel also helps to create this sense of
space that is emphasized by the tonal gradation.
The repetition of the pyramid forms on the two-dimensional wallpaper creates a
zigzag rhythm. The repetition of the sweeping curves along which these pyramids
are placed also add curvilinear rhythms to the design.
The monochromatic /achromatic colour scheme consists of a spectrum of whites and
greys, creating a clean, calm and quiet atmosphere. Grey and white are neutral
colours which also help to convey a modern feel. The light catches the different
facets of the pyramid form in such a way that a range of greys are created that brings
variety and life to the uniform white colour of the design.
The wallpaper design pattern makes use of an asymmetrical balance as the focal
point is formed by the strong white light-source on the far right of the design. The
weight or focus on the right is further emphasised by the contrast between the bright
circle of light and the dark forms right next to it.

1.2.1 (Allocate 2 marks)
Biomorphic implies that the chair design imitates nature and the form is
borrowed from it. FIGURE B is biomorphic as the chair looks like intertwined
organic roots of a plant featuring flower-like accents that imitate fungi.
1.2.2 (Allocate 8 marks)
(Allocate a maximum of 2 marks for each bullet/aspect)
FIGURE B uses undulating, curvy and organic lines to define its structure.
Thick, uneven lines are prominent on the legs and the backrest of the chair.
The form of FIGURE B is organic, creating flowing movement. The form of
the backrest is designed to emulate tree branches/coral. The form is bulky and
does not resemble a conventional chair which gives the chair a dream-like,
surreal and ghost- like quality. Disc-like forms emulate from the fungi
simulated in the chair design.
FIGURE B has a soft white colour that suggests comfort. The cream-
yellowish fungus is placed haphazardly to create a sense of an organic
structure. This creamy-yellow colour contrasts with the white and the shadows
to add some variety.
The backrest of the chair in FIGURE B has repeated vertical branch-like pointy
outgrowths and is rendered with a smooth soft/hard textured feel. This
contrasts with the rough/knobbly fungus-like pale cream-yellowish textures that
create variety and visual interest.

QUESTION 2: COMMUNICATION THROUGH DESIGN [10 marks]
2.1.
2.1.1 (Allocate 4 marks)
The young boy is wearing a T-shirt featuring the scientist Einstein, this stereotypes
boys as intelligent. Alternatively, the image of the man on the boy’s T-shirt with
his tongue sticking out is playful and teasing, very typical of boy-like behaviour.
The text beside him reading: 'The Little Scholar. Your future starts here,' also
stereotypes him as an active scholar with a bright academic future. The use of
blue, green and black colours on this clothing are stereotypical colours used to
identify boys with that is associated with masculinity.
The silver, glittery kitten ear headband with the accompanying text stating: 'The
Social Butterfly: Chambray shirts + logo sweaters are the talk of the playground'
tells us that the young girl is stereotyped as being preoccupied by socially
accepted fashion trends. She is portrayed/stereotyped as an empty-headed
social butterfly. This is emphasised by the glittering kitty princess crown and
emphasised by her demure pose against the wall while she flaunts her designer
'logo styles' model outfit. The soft cream and pink colours of her jersey are also
stereotypical colours used to identify girls with. The boy’s cheeky pose is active
and playful, typical of boys of that age. By contrast the young girl’s pose is
passive, stereotypical of society’s views on the way girls should behave.
The advert stereotypes children as being white and having blonde hair.
The boy and the girl come across as androgynous and the stereotype is focussed
on the difference between the nerd and the socialite
2.1.2 (Allocate 2 marks)
The advert in FIGURE C can be considered to be irresponsible in that it can be
described as 'sexist'. It encourages the social construct that girls should aspire to
be social butterflies and boys scholars or academics. This counteracts the
current social drive for all girls/women to be afforded equal opportunities in
education, to be independent and to be able to make a strong economic
contribution in all sectors. The advert only refers to one racial grouping and is
therefore not inclusive.

The first symbol is the Afro comb, which symbolises a celebration of black
identity and honour. The Afro comb is also symbolic of the Afro hairstyle which in
modern day South Africa is a symbol of the return to self-love and a protest against
hair straighteners and weaves. The Afro hairstyle can also be seen as symbolising
the Black Panther movement in the 70s in America. Any of the above symbols or
the clenched fist may represent the #BlackLivesMatter movement.
A second symbol is the colour orange which is associated with the orange
clothing worn by prisoners in South Africa. Fela Kuti was at some point jailed for
voicing his views on African consciousness and human rights violations through his
music.
A third symbol is the clutched fist which is associated with black power in the
fight against oppression. It also symbolises unity and black consciousness for the
oppressed.
A fourth symbol is the morphed Afro comb with images of the fist and facial images
of legendary activist which can symbolise African consciousness and a collective
political, historical, social, religious and cultural identity.

QUESTION 3 [10 marks]
Answer EITHER QUESTION 3.1 OR QUESTION 3.2.
3.1 [10 marks] (Allocate a maximum of 2 marks for each bullet/aspect)
The materials of the main frame of FIGURE E consist mainly of a soft bendable
silver wire that is used to shape and form the structure giving it a strong linear
quality. The beads, a traditional African material, are used to imitate the colour
of the car. Alternatively, FIGURE F is made of solid cast iron and uses imitation
diamanté to imitate the colour which gives it a cheap, bling status.
In FIGURE E the repeated circular wire lines on the wheels create a repetitive,
circular pattern. The repeated orange beaded lines create a more rigid,
striped pattern. In contrast, the repeated imitation diamanté on FIGURE F
creates a solid, dense surface with a tactile pattern.
The form in FIGURE E is quite open due to the linear wire construction method
and expresses transparency and lightness, whereas the form of FIGURE F is
more solid and heavy. The curved lines on FIGURE F create an aerodynamic
form whereas the form of FIGURE E is more block-like.
FIGURE F is kitsch as it is covered in a skin of shiny, cheap imitation
diamanté. In comparison FIGURE E stays true to its roots by using authentic
traditional bead work and wire. FIGURE E is usually found in museum shops
and craft markets aimed for the tourist market, whereas FIGURE F is mass
produced and found in department stores for everyone to have access which
enhances its kitsch status. Alternatively FIGURE E could be classified as being
kitsch as it is seen in most craft markets across South Africa.
FIGURE E is influenced by African wire crafts produced with hand-crafted
technologies. FIGURE F, by comparison shows the influence of industrial
manufacturing techniques of the western world in the 1970's and onwards.
FIGURE E's inspiration came from boys not having toys and a need to create
alternative solutions. In contrast FIGURE F is inspired by a consumerist 'bling'
life-style where children have access to all kinds of toys. Alternatively FIGURE
E could have been influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement because of being
hand-crafted and FIGURE F by the Art Deco movement due to the expensive
material as well as the adornment used on a fast, aerodynamic car.

3.2 [10 marks]
A contemporary transport company, Transport for London invited proposals to
improve pedestrian links across the Thames River in 2013. Heatherwick Studio
proposed an idea for a new pedestrian 'London Garden Bridge' (FIGURE H)
across the River Thames. The aim was for the proposed bridge to connect North
and South London with the added bonus of a garden within the city. London is
one of the greenest cities of its size in the world; this new terrain aimed to add to
London's already rich and diverse horticultural heritage by including many
indigenous river edge plant species. A similar, but Classical structure is the Pont
du Gard, FIGURE G, a bridge that spans the Gardon River in Remoulins, in
southern France. Built in the 1st century CE by the Romans as part of the Nîmes
aqueduct its aim was to span the Gardon River and channel water to the city of
Nîmes from a spring at Uzés.The entire Nîmes aqueduct is 50 km long; a
technologically advanced structure that is estimated to have carried 200 000
cubic meters of water to the fountains, baths and homes of the citizens of Nîmes
every day. The Pont du Gard, FIGURE G, is the highest of all Roman aqueduct
bridge structures ever built.
A testimony to the advanced technology and construction techniques of the
Romans, the Pont du Gard remained in use until the 6th century; a lack of
maintenance after the 4th century meant that it became increasingly clogged by
mineral deposits and debris that eventually choked off the flow of water. By
contrast, despite the ground- breaking technology that was meant to be used for
the construction of the contemporary London Garden Bridge, it was never
built.
The aim of the contemporary London Garden Bridge, FIGURE H, was to
increase and encourage interaction between the South and North Banks and
provide new walking routes to and from Covent Garden and Soho. The planned
structure of an elevated London garden would have been a safe and easy terrain
for London's many commuters and visitors to cross the river; it would also have
made areas along its length for pedestrians to stop and enjoy the remarkable river
setting and unparalleled views of the city and to serve as a free public space.
The terrain that the Classical, Pont du Gard aqueduct spanned was very
carefully surveyed by the Roman engineers of the time. Because of the uneven
terrain between the origin, the spring in Uzés and the city of Nîmes, the aqueduct
followed a long, winding route that was mostly underground but needed a bridge
across the gorge of the Gardon River.

Design/P1 8 DBE/November 2020
SC/NSC – Marking Guidelines
The Pont du Gard (FIGURE G) was constructed with three tiers of arches,
stands 48.8 m high, and descends a mere 2.5 centimetres – a gradient of only 1 in
18,241 – while the whole aqueduct descends in height by only 12.6 m over its
entire length (50km), which is indicative of the great construction precision that
Roman designers were able to achieve using the technology of the time.
In order to support the 1,000 cubic metres of earth needed for the garden on The
London Garden Bridge, (FIGURE H), Heatherwick planned to construct what
appeared to be two enormous metal planters: like upturned hands, which catered
for a range of half to two meters deep flower/plant beds, so that plants and trees
roots can have sufficient space. The material that was proposed to clad the
bridge was cupronickel, a copper- like material, which is highly resistant to
corrosion. Typically used for mechanical equipment and ship propellers,
cupronickel was to be roll-bonded to the bridge's structural steel a technology
whereby an inseparable skin is created. The proposed 367 metre London Bridge
was to be coated in the corrosion-resistant copper-nickel alloy material from its
feet on the river bed up to the underside of the bridge deck.
By contrast the material used to construct the Classical Pont du Gard (FIGURE
G) bridge was quarried stone blocks. These stone blocks could weigh up to
6 tons each. Despite the fact that the Romans were already using concrete, a
material invented by them, to reinforce and hold structures together, the blocks
were so precisely cut that they fitted together by friction alone. The use of mortar
or clamps was eliminated.
Credit must be given to any other valid statements or a comparison of a
Classical and contemporary building that the candidate has studied.

SECTION B: DESIGN HISTORY
QUESTION 4 [30 marks]
4.1 Allocate 20 marks in total.
Allocate 10 marks for each movement. Note that ONLY ONE mark can be
allocated for the name of a designer and product of each movement. Use the
cognitive levels as guidelines.
This marking guideline supplies an answer for the following two possibilities:
DE STIJL
BAROQUE
DE STIJL
The De Stijl movement aimed to reduce their designs to what they considered the
essentials of art, i.e. straight vertical and horizontal line, the square and the
rectangle, the three primary colours and the neutrals. They believed that
designers need to get rid of everything that is not essential. They aimed to create
clarity, calm, certainty and order through simplification. They believed that
geometric abstraction to attain balance, harmony, order, logic and purity was of
utmost importance.
De Stijl design was influenced by the Dutch tradition of logic, clarity, severity and
mathematical order. They were also influenced by Cubism where painters broke
down form into geometric facets that emphasized the flatness of the picture plane
and emphasizes the square and the rectangle. The Cubists also aimed to reduce
and simplify form.
De Stijl works are characteristically very simple and totally abstract conveying only
the essentials. Straight vertical lines are balanced with straight horizontal lines to
create stability. Rectangular and square shapes are carefully arranged to create a
perfect balance. The colours are reduced to the primaries, red, blue and yellow
and to the neutrals, white, black and grey and exude a sense of purity and clarity.
Surfaces are smooth, also conveying calmness.
AN EXAMPLE OF DE STIJL DESIGN:
Gerrit Rietveld 'Schröder 1924
This house is clearly simplified to essential geometric planes that form a careful
balance of vertical and horizontal lines. Certain components are deliberately
detached creating the idea that they are gliding past each other in harmony.
The colour has been reduced to mainly white, grey and black. These neutral colours
convey a still feeling. A few accents of blue, red and yellow add contrast and
life.

Design/P1 10 DBE/November 2020
SC/NSC – Marking Guidelines
BAROQUE
Instead of deleting detail in order to achieve simplicity and the essential, Baroque
design is a celebration of surface decoration and details. The Catholic Church
aimed to use Baroque art to get their message across to illiterate people. They
wanted to use dramatic imagery and exaggerated motion and decoration to evoke
strong religious feelings and in doing so to control their subjects.
The Baroque style is influenced by the Counter-Reformation and the Catholic faith
as it glorified both the power and influence of the Catholic Church and the
monarchy.
Characteristically Baroque designs are emotional and move away from the
Renaissance focus on logic and reason. Their designs are full of theatrical drama,
energy, excitement, tension and grandeur. Compositions are dynamic and there
is a lot of interplay between light and shadow. Designs make use of strongly
contrasting colours and luxurious, expensive materials such as marble, gilding and
bronze to excite and overwhelm the viewer.
Interiors are dramatic combinations of architecture, sculpture, silver, silks, rich
tapestries and luxurious finishes. Both buildings and furniture show angels,
cupids, saints, sculptures, figurines and fountains. Buildings are colossal with
dramatic proportions and consist of many colonnades, domes and a bold play of
volumes and voids. Large curved and swirling forms, twisted columns, grand
stairways as well as complicated and elaborate decorations all contribute to
overwhelm the senses.
AN EXAMPLE OF BAROQUE DESIGN:
The Baldacchino of St Peter's Basilica in Rome (1623–1634) by Bernini
This Baldacchino is a very busy, detailed and ornate structure which clearly does
not aim to reduce elements to the essentials. It is intended to mark, in a
monumental way, the place of Saint Peter's tomb. The fact that it is a very large
structure, consisting of various complex elements is typical of Baroque designs, a
canopy rests upon four huge twisting columns each of which stands on a high
marble plinth. These columns support a cornice which curves inwards in the middle
of each side. Above this, four twice life size angels stand at the corners. Behind
them four large volutes rise up to a second smaller cornice which in turn supports
the gilded cross on a sphere, a symbol of the world redeemed by Christianity. The
four helical columns are 20 metres high. Under the canopy is the high altar of the
basilica as well as a radiant sun that symbolically shines down on the Pope as he
leads the service. The monumentality, grandeur, decorative swirls and rich colour
all work together to make this design full of dramatic emotion rather than calm
simplicity.

4.2 [10 marks] (Allocate a maximum of 2 marks for each bullet/aspect.)
The inspiration of Scandinavian textiles, and its use of stylized, brightly coloured
organic shapes can be seen in FIGURE I's simplified floral surface pattern. In
contrast to this use of figurative imagery, FIGURE J could have been inspired by
the fragmentation and geometric abstraction of movements like Cubism and
Constructivism. This emphasis of FIGURE I on child-like imagery also shows the
influence of the 1960's Hippie movement. The undermining of the conventions of
fashion in FIGURE J show the influence of Dada and Futurism on Deconstructivism.
This dress reflects the rebellious attitude of the Grunge movement, whereas
the floral motifs of FIGURE I are also reminiscent of the curvilinear floral motifs on
Oriental designs. The Hippie movement's emphasis on peace can be seen in the
soft colours and shapes of FIGURE I. FIGURE J appears by contrast more chaotic
than FIGURE I.
FIGURE I uses a wide range of bright, artificial colours that convey a light-hearted
atmosphere. In contrast, FIGURE J uses strong red, black and white to create a
harsher, austere effect. The bright, varied, flat colours in FIGURE I reminds one
of the psychedelic colour use of the Hippie movement, whereas the harsh colours
of FIGURE J seem to relate more to the monochromatic, freely applied colours of
Abstract Expressionism.
The outline of the dress in FIGURE I is soft, sensual and flowing, suggesting the
curved female body. The outline of the dress in FIGURE J is however, jagged and
fragmented and doesn't follow the form of the female. The lines on the floral
motifs (FIGURE I) form curvilinear rhythms, whereas the lines in FIGURE J are
angular and harsh to create a machine-like feel.
The dress in FIGURE I is made from a soft, smooth and silky textured fabric giving
it a luxurious and feminine feel. In contrast the dress in FIGURE J is constructed
from hard and stiff plastic making it appear industrial and masculine. The fabric
used in FIGURE I appears thin and light, whereas FIGURE J makes use of
layering of solid, thick plastic to create a heavy, armour-like shiny textured
garment.
The flower motifs in FIGURE I are filled with organic, flowing linear surface
patterns. In contrast, the surface pattern on FIGURE J, is formed by abstract
splashes of colour reminiscent of the paintings of Jackson Pollock. The repetition
of the circular flower shapes creates a rhythmic circular pattern, whereas the
repetition of torn, angular pieces of plastic in FIGURE J creates an informal grid
pattern.

QUESTION 5 [20 marks]
Answer EITHER QUESTION 5.1 OR QUESTION 5.2.
5.1
5.1.1 (Allocate 2 marks)
The term 'shock tactics' refers to an advertising/marketing strategy, which uses
shocking imagery to grab the viewer's attention in order to promote services or a
product. Shock tactics are employed in the design of the tomato sauce sachet in
such a way that it shocks and surprises the consumer when the sachet is torn open,
giving the impression of a severed bleeding limb. This leaves a lasting impression
on the consumer. These consumers will inform others about the campaign against
landmines and therefore more people will hear of the campaign than initially
anticipated.
5.1.2 (Allocate 4 marks)
Drunk driving is a prevalent problem in society. Not only do those who drink and
drive endanger their lives, they also endanger the lives of other users of the road. I
would make use of pictures taken at the aftermath of an accident caused by drunk
driving, with scattered bodies and injured individuals to shock the viewer. In this
way creating an awareness of the dangers of drunk driving and promoting safe
practices on the road. Placing the billboard in high traffic areas will lead to more
people seeing the billboard with the hope of educating more people not to drink and
drive.
Izinyokanyoka (electric cable thieves), electric cable theft is a problem most
prevalent in society. Electric cables are stolen to be sold at scrapyards as raw
copper for a handsome monetary compensation. In my digital billboard I would use
a video clip of an individual illegally disconnecting and stealing electric cables and
subsequently being electrocuted, capturing the few moments after the electrocution
whereby evidence of smoke and burned flesh is apparent. Screams of agony to
create awareness of the dangers of the practice can be added to the video.

ONE CONTEMPORARY SOUTH AFRICAN DESIGNER/DESIGN GROUP
Name of a designer/design group/design company and one design product:
Tutu Tester by Anna van Esch
The social issue that is addressed:
The Tutu tester is a mobile clinic that delivers healthcare services in remote
poverty stricken rural and township areas. Around a fifth of South Africans
between the ages of 15-49 have HIV. Communities most vulnerable to HIV and TB
are remote and densely populated. According to the 2016 annual survey, about
16% of women aged 15-19 have begun childbearing. Some of these girls have to
drop out of school, the Tutu tester is essential to lowering this number and giving
women the power of choice over their bodies. The communities residing in these
remote areas often cannot afford the transportation fares to access primary health
services often housed in normal government day clinics.
An analysis of the design and an explanation of how it addresses the social
issue:
The Tutu Tester is a colourful medically equipped truck with a bright signature
rainbow banner. Since its inception in 2008 the Tutu Tester has seen an excess of
35 000 patients. The mobile clinic focuses on making healthcare accessible to
township communities while at the same time addressing lifestyle diseases. The
truck is fitted with care diagnostics, enabling its trained staff to conduct immediate
HIV and Tuberculosis (TB) testing as well as diabetes and high blood pressure
testing for free. The mobile clinic also advises patients about their Body Mass
Index (BMI) and conducts breast and testicular cancer examination. Tutu tester
also provides family planning services empowering women on their choices
regarding childbearing. The Tutu Tester operates in the areas from
Masiphumelele in Noordhoek through to Khayelitsha nearby schools or malls in the
Western Cape where healthcare services are inadequate.

ONE INTERNATIONAL DESIGNER/DESIGN GROUP
Name of a designer/design group/design company and one design product:
Heatherwick Studio and the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in
Singapore, 2015.
The social issue that is addressed:
In the information age, the most important commodity on a campus is the creation
of social spaces to meet and bump into and learn from each other.
Since the advent of the internet and low-cost computers, there has been a distinct
shift in how students approach educational facilities. The digital revolution, the
most important function of this new university building is to nurture togetherness
and sociability, so that students can meet entrepreneurs, scientists or colleagues
in a space that encourages collaboration. The outcome is a structure that
interweaves both social and learning spaces to create a dynamic environment.
Another inspiration for the New Learning Hub was a wish to break down the
traditional square forward-facing classrooms with a clear front and hierarchy, and
move to a corner-less space, where teachers and students mix on an equal
basis. Each of these tutorial rooms faces the large shared central space,
allowing students to continually feel connected to all the other activities going on
in the building.
The rooms open into the shared circulation space around the atrium, interspersed
with informal garden terraces, allowing students to be visually connected while
also leaving space to 'hang out'. The new Learning Hub provides an exciting mix
of learning, community and recreational spaces for all inhabitants of the building
to interact. Bringing people and their ideas together, NTU can spark future
innovations and new dialogues that increasingly happen when disciplines
collaborate.
An analysis of the design and an explanation of how it addresses the social
issue:
Instead of the traditional educational building with kilometres of corridors the
university asked for a unique design that is better suited to contemporary ways of
learning. The hub's form is dictated by its function, and the lack of corridors
unifies the 56 tutorial rooms. Students can enter from 360 degrees around into
a large central space which links all the separate towers together. Twelve
tapering towers create a large public central atrium to provide space for fifty-six
tutorial rooms. Each tower is made up of a stack of classrooms which build up
gradually, with gardens on selected floors. The new-generation smart classrooms
promote more interactive small group teaching and active learning. The flexible
format of the rooms allows lecturers to better engage with their students,

and for students to easily collaborate with each other. With soaring Singapore
temperatures it was important to maintain the students' comfort whilst achieving a
sustainable energy usage. The building's open and accessible atrium is
naturally ventilated, maximising air circulation around the towers of tutorial rooms
and allowing students to feel cool.
The primary challenge was to make the choice of concrete feel beautiful. This
resulted on the concrete stair and elevator cores being embedded with 700
specially commissioned drawings, three-dimensionally cast into the concrete,
referencing everything from science to art and literature. Overlapping images,

The Dokter and Misses furniture piece (FIGURE L) is a contemporary interpretation
of traditional African furniture (FIGURE M). This can be seen in its use of geometric
pattern and bright colours and its block-like form. Whilst these patterns are
painted on the wood, traditional African furniture makes use of high and low relief
carvings to form pattern. Traditional furniture (FIGURE M) is mostly carved from
a single piece of wood, whereas contemporary furniture is manufactured from
several pieces of wood. In this case processed supa wood is used to give
FIGURE L a smooth, clean and trendy look, whereas the carving used to create
traditional furniture (FIGURE M) creates a more personal and hand-made feel.
Contemporary interpretations of traditional crafts often use synthetic paint for the
patterns and the surface is varnished with lacquer to create a shiny, machine-like,
smooth surface. Traditional crafts such as the stool in FIGURE M use raw wood,
which is burnished and polished with animal fats to create a more organic feel.

History/Origins
The traditional beehive huts are known as iQukwane. Traditional isiZulu hut craft
forms part of the hut/rondavel indigenous knowledge and historically forms part of
the traditional isiZulu Beehive Huts monument buildings and precincts.
Materials and Techniques
The role of isiZulu men in the society is to collect the outer sticks and place them in
a circle on the ground. The women then bind and thatch the structure using
braided split reeds and grass. A central sapling tree trunk acts as a support and
the door is made low so that one has to stoop before entering. After the frame is
complete, it is thatched with grass. Cow-dung and termite clay is mixed to a thick
consistency and spread to form the floor which sets rock hard and may be polished
to a mirror-like finish using a polishing stone. The same material is used to form
a raised hearth near the central pole. The materials and the process make the hut
stable, warm in winter and cool in summer. Smoke from the fire escapes out the
door or through the thatch that has the effect of constantly fumigating the hut of
insects.
Functions
The huts are hierarchically arranged in a circular kraal formation. The isiZulu term
is umuzi and consists of two concentric fences of thorn trunks. The huts are
located inside the outer fence and the cattle in the inner circle with a smaller
enclosure there for the calves.
The cattle are kept in the middle protected from wild predators. The isiZulu society
lives as a close- knit community with a central hearth where all cooking is done by
the women.
The kraal is usually built on a slight slope with the main entrance at the lower end.
This enables rainwater to clean the cattle kraal, the ground dries quickly and any
foe has to fight uphill.

Small huts on poles act as storage huts or watchtowers. The largest hut, opposite
the entrance, is that of the chief's mother. The chief's hut is to the right, the first
wife is to the right of the chief's mother, and the second wife is to the left of the
chief's hut, the third wife to the right of the first wife and so on. The unmarried
girls live on the left of the entrance, the unmarried boys, to the right. The two elder
sons inspect visitors and guard the entrance around the clock. Visitors are either
rejected, expected to wait for an appropriate time or welcome in immediately
depending on their relation to the family. Those that are allowed in experience
the siyakuleka ikhaya display where the gatekeeper sings the praises of the chief.
The function of gatekeeper is also very useful in another way in that he will assume
the role of chief on his father's death and will be familiar with all those who visited
his father and their treatment. White flags over a kraal mean that an engagement
is imminent whilst red/white flags over a bridegroom's kraal indicate that he has to
go through tears and longing (red) to reach the love of his sweetheart.

Name the designer/design group and ONE design product:
Nicholas Plewman Architects in association with Michaelis Boyd Associates,
Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge, Okavanga Delta, Botswana, 2015.
Aims of the designer/design group
One main aim of the architects was that the lodge had to be wholly built of
ultimately bio-degradable materials and 70 % of the lodge had to be of sustainable
origin. They strived to have minimal to zero physical impact of any sort on the site,
fauna and flora. They also aimed for the final building to appear to have grown
organically from its site.
Influences on the designer/design group
The natural, organically shaped lodge is influenced by the biomorphic forms of
animals that use their shell as part of their shelter or birds that weave shelters from
the organic materials in their environment. The architects chose the pangolin –
Africa's armadillo –as a specific motif because of its shy, elusive, and completely
harmless nature and its ability to curl up. The curved exposed beams of the
lodge also imitates the ribcage of animal carcasses. Another possible reference for
the exposed beams could be elephant tusks and the domed form of the grass roof
that resembles a tortoise shell.

Analysis of the design, explaining how it is an adaptation and continuation of
the indigenous craft technique.
The lodge structure is unique and modern, but its structure incorporates various
local craft knowledge techniques found in and around Botswana. The lodge is
built almost entirely of wood. Laminated pine beams create curvilinear forms that
seem to have taken their inspiration from the inverted boat layers of butt jointed
pine planks, but also from the skeletal frame of a basket and of traditional huts.
External screen walls and balustrades are fashioned from an interlocking mat of
eucalyptus laths woven onto stiff wire. Reference here could be traditional basket
weaving techniques. The entrance of the dome is reminiscent of traditional Zulu
hut architecture. These traditional craft techniques form part of the structure of
the building that unifies the building with local heritage and ensures the
continuation of this knowledge.

QUESTION 6 [20 marks]

6.1.1 (Allocate 3 marks)
Vertical forests simulated through this building increase biodiversity. They help to
set up an urban ecosystem where a different kind of vegetation creates a vertical
environment which can also be colonised by birds and insects, and therefore
becomes both a magnet for and a symbol of the spontaneous re-colonisation of the
city by vegetation and by animal life.
Vertical forests help to build a micro-climate and to filter dust particles which are
present in the urban environment. The diversity of the plants helps to create
humidity and absorbs CO2 and dust. It produces oxygen, protects people and
houses from harmful sunrays and from acoustic pollution.
Vertical forests are an anti-sprawl measure which aims to control and reduce urban
expansion. If we think of them in terms of urban densification, each tower of the
vertical forest is equivalent to an area of urban sprawl of family houses and
buildings of up to 50,000 square metres.

Effective Recycling
Inventive methods need to be developed that will transform how we take care of
our waste. One method is to reward homeowners for recycling with weighable
recyclables, in which sanitation workers weigh the recycle bin and provide
compensation based on weight to incentivise energy efficient ways of removing
waste.
Invest in renewable energy
Solar, wind, geothermal, low-impact hydro and biofuels are sources of renewable
energy. A policy of granting energy tax credits to companies who buy 'green
power' would incentivise buildings to choose sustainable sources of energy.
Install ventilation system
Installing a ventilation system can reduce the need for air conditioning, which can
keep your carbon footprint and electricity bill low. Replace your windows
with fibre glass and wood frames, add improved insulation and high thermal mass
ceilings to circulate the air. These small details add up to improve the quality of
your workplace, buildings and cities.

ONE CONTEMPORARY SOUTH AFRICAN DESIGNER/DESIGN GROUP
Name of the designer and design
Suzanne Lambert, Vukheta Mukhari and Han Beushausen designed the Bio-
brick.
The environmental issues that have been addressed
The urine brick is an innovative solution to waste recovery and upcycling. The
urine brick is significant because it will provide an alternative form of calcium
phosphate, a key ingredient in fertilisers used for commercial farming worldwide.
Commercial farming is pivotal to the economy and food supply in the country.
The development is also good news for the environment and global warming as
bio-bricks are made in moulds at room temperature. Regular bricks are kiln-fired
at temperatures around 1400°C and produce vast quantities of carbon dioxide.
An analysis of the design and an explanation of how it addresses the
environmental issue.
Chemically speaking, urine is liquid gold. It contains nitrogen, phosphorus and
potassium. Some 97% of the phosphorus present in the urine can be converted
into calcium-phosphate, the key ingredient in fertilisers that underpin commercial
farming worldwide. This is significant because the world's natural phosphate
reserves are running dry. Additionally, the bio-brick has the potential to be 40 per
cent stronger than a traditional limestone brick. The longer the bacteria is allowed
to make the cement the stronger the brick becomes.
First, urine is collected in novel fertiliser-producing urinals and used to make a solid
fertiliser. The remaining liquid is then used in the biological process to grow the
bio-brick. The bio-bricks go through a natural chemical process, a procedure
called microbial carbonate precipitation. Loose sand is colonised with bacteria
that produce urea, which is an enzyme. Through a complex chemical reaction,
urea breaks down to form urine and produce calcium carbonate.

This cements the sand into any form, whether it is a solid column, or now, for the
first time a rectangular building brick. The remaining liquid product from the bio-
brick process is used to make a second fertiliser that results in zero waste.
ONE INTERNATIONAL DESIGNER/DESIGN GROUP
Name of designer/design group/company and ONE design product:
'Papel' (paper Chapel house) by Shigeru Ban (New Zealand), 2013.
Environmental issues that have been addressed:
The Japanese architect Shigeru Ban and his team, have developed temporary
mobile structures after the disaster in Japan. Similar internal paper partition system
have recently been proposed. Planned in 2004, these mobile structures have
been presented again after the earthquake disaster in Japan in 2011. Shigeru
Ban's studio offered a solution to distress from the lack of privacy and high density,
in creating a personal space in emergency situations: gyms, stations and so on.
Ban's space allows for physical well-being and has aesthetic and functional
features. Most of his cardboard projects are developed in response to the
requirements needed by earthquake victims.
An analysis of the design and an explanation of how it addresses the
environmental issue.
Shigeru Ban's Paper Chapel House is a paper structure built with hollow (but
sturdy) cardboard tubes. This approach points to the revival of traditional
Japanese elements that involve 'tatami'. 'Tatami' refer to the light weight mat – a
rush-covered straw mat forming a traditional Japanese floor surface. 'Papel'
(paper Chapel house) makes use of huge cardboard columns that are coated in
polyurethane/varnish and flame-retardants to keep away mould and fire, and are
designed to last decades. 'Papel' (paper Chapel house) is sustainable and in this
way well suited for emergency housing at crisis sites because it is inexpensive to
install and easily recycled when the building is eventually dismantled.
