Suburban metabolism a project for a suburb of the future

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

One of my initial research questions was to answer how informal settlements can pioneer the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions in Cape Town. The objectives included understanding energy usage in informal settlements, invetigating current energy technologies and innovating an architectural typology which can support multiple renewable fuel sources and create positive, urban space in these communities.
