GLOBAL STUDIO JOHANNESBURG 2009
Diepsloot is dense and sprawling township located about 24km north of central
growing steadily since it was formally established in the post-aparthied South Africa of 1994. It is estimated that over 160,000 people now live in Dieplsoot, with
from three primary causes; rural to urban migration, relocation from older townships such as Alexander, and immigration from
GLOBAL STUDIO JOHANNESBURG 2009
Diepsloot is a complex and sophisticated place with residents from a large variety of African nations and over 17 South African languages are spoken. It suffers from a lack of infrastructure investment and space is highly contested. The unemployment rate is over 50% and the population is affected by crippling health problems due to aids. The tensions in Diepsloot occasionally erupt in uprisings and riots giving rise to the town’s negative reputation. It is also a place of rich and dynamic communities.

HOUSING IMPROVEMENT & EVALUATION
RESEARCH & ANALYSIS. HOUSING IMPROVEMENT & EVALUATION: Background
In an effort to improve the quality of life for people living in Diepsloot, a housing improvement initiative was implemented
RESEARCH & ANALYSIS. HOUSING IMPROVEMENT & EVALUATION: Background The improvements included: Insulation - in some 10 Shacks in Diepsloot and 5 in Alexandra. The insulation experiments included Styrofoam, rockwool, bubble wrap and reflective sheets. Water-proofing – was implemented for most of same shacks
INSULATION: MATERIALS & TRAINING, 2008
LARGE SCALE UPGRADE: 2008
Method: A qualitative survey was used to determine homeowner satisfaction of both insulation and waterproofing.
RESEARCH & ANALYSIS. HOUSING IMPROVEMENT EVALUATION
Results : Insulation - Most users were very satisfied with the insulation and reported that they would recommend installing insulation to their family members. Water proofing – Did not last in most cases tested, and needed constant maintenance. Ongoing Research & Evaluation: Implementation of a long term quantitative survey. Temperatures will be measured to determine effectiveness of the various insulation types. This experiment will continue for 6 months,
New Project Solar water heating experiments: Various containers were tested in the sun in order to find a simple, available technology that could be implemented by the least privileged to heat water. Aluminum cans, painted black and poised against reflective material, proved to be most effective at heating up RESEARCH & ANALYSIS. HOUSING IMPROVEMENT : New Project The lack of warm water was identified as a serious problem; the poorest inhabitants have limited access to heating with Paraffin stoves (due to excessive costs) and those that do suffer from noxious gases emitted by the stoves.
Tests yielded good results (in 1.5 hour solar exposure of water at starting temperature of 10°) Project demonstrated at July 18 festival, and then handed on to schools for further experiments with view to home implementation by children.

SOCIAL HOUSING
RESEARCH & ANALYSIS. Social Housing – how best to provide housing??? The RDP (redevelopment & construction programme, est. 1994) cannot meet the challenge Housing as a process represents more than a simple economic activity but constitutes the foundation for the establishment of continuously improving public and private environments within which stable and productive communities can grow and prosper.
(4.5.1 Housing and Economic Empowerment, 1994 “A new housing policy and strategy for South Africa”)
CAN PRE-FABRICATION PROVIDE A SOCIAL HOUSING SOLUTION FOR SOUTH AFRICA WHILE STILL INVOLCING COMMUNITY AND LABOUR IN TOWNSHIP DEVELOPMENT?

EXTENSION 12 EXTENSION 7 EXTENSION 2
RESARCH & ANALYSIS. Learning from Diepsloot’s RDP housing and ways in which it is used
Thresholds Connect with street Agriculture Outdoor living space Brick Making Welding Understanding problems related to the urban planning and house design of the RDP . Documenting how inhabitants adapt free space in order to improve living conditions, thereby cataloguing what future RDP proposals should consider. Discovering skilled trades that unemployed residents are learning in order to expand or personalize their houses as well as to generate income. These are possible small business opportunities.
RESEARCH & ANALYSIS: Prefabrication – An alternative to RDP housing ? And if so can it create better urban design , and not take construction jobs from Diepsloot residents?
Pre-Fabrication: Fast construction and delivery from factory based
production within South Africa
Expansion: Re-Integration of marginalized labour force through market of
expansions (using pre-fab module or otherwise) for family growth, retail, rental, or live/work units.
Community Development: encourage small business development such
that individuals are empowered and maintenance can be handed over to community.

Building on research and exploratory work in 2007 and 2008 four proposals address ways in which design can enhance health and well being, arts and culture activities, contribute to community development, and improve the quality of public space. The newly formed ARTS AND CULTURE NETWORK and the proposed DIEP FM community radio station have the capacity to begin the transformation of Diepsloot into a networked and creative community. Design proposals provide a much needed physical home .

PUBLIC SPACES
Usable public open space is in short supply. Addressing the housing need is difficult but peoples lives can be improved through new public spaces supporting children’s play, adult social and cultural interactions, commercial activity , urban agriculture and environmental sustainability. These spaces are eminently cultural.

The Johannesburg Development Authority asked Global Studio to develop proposals for a bridge. This proposal provides a safe pedestrian crossing but also spaces for arts, culture, commerce and urban agriculture, and will provide meeting and gathering spaces for Diepsloot. This crossing and associated spaces will enhance Diepsloots cultural capital and is designed to employ local labour in its construction.

URBAN AGRICULTURE NETWORK: a project to expand and develop current activities > job creation , greater food security, environmental sustainability and social cohesion
We seek to expose and further the development of urban agricultural practices through information/knowledge sharing, capacity building and the facilitation of an agricultural network. We seek to gain an understanding of existing urban agricultural practices in Diepsloot. We seek to develop an urban agriculture activity strategy for Diepsloot which would map out existing agricultural plots and suggest spaces for future community gardens. We seek to connect with others outside the Diepsloot community to potentially sponsor, facilitate and manage future urban agricultural projects in Diepsloot. We seek to reveal the inherent value the local landscape. We seek to long-term capacity building/pride of place/food security/ small scale (and, eventually large scale) environmental benefits.
